RIP #RatanTata: homage from an environmentalist. I mourn his passing and the loss of time when business leaders stood for public good and tolerance of dissent as ideas that we did not know existed https://t.co/UQUrrxWXBV

Preliminary rainfall estimates from NOAA's MRMS puts about half a million folks in Florida (850 square miles) in a 1-100 year Flood event from #Milton.

Some areas even experienced a 1-200 year event.

Well said @shahzadgani. Not short cut solutions. Cloud seeding is a big gimmick.

You wrote well what is right on this issue. I am sure, you may gain a few enemies in the scientific fraternity.

Be bold & speak only truth. We have responsibility to the society. I admire you.

Helene’s Cat 4 landfall gives the U.S. a record eight Cat 4 or Cat 5 Atlantic hurricane landfalls in the past eight years (2017-2024), seven of them being continental U.S. landfalls. That’s as many Cat 4 and 5 landfalls as occurred in the prior 57 years.

@ClimateDann @emily_vosper Just curious about the southern Indian Ocean having larger exposure numbers than the northern.

@Raman_Hdfc_bank Should I DM them before using the card?

[Krishna AchutaRao @makrishna]

@HDFCBank_Cares If you decline credit card transactions and then call to verify if I tried using it, how do I ever use the card?

@airindia Can you tell us what happened to the luggage from AI808 from BLR? It is now an hour after landing and no bags out yet. Ground staff at DEL clueless.

[World Weather Attribution @WWAttribution]

The landslides that killed hundreds of people in Wayanad, northern Kerala were triggered by a burst of rainfall that was made about 10% heavier by climate change 📈🌧️

Until fossil fuels are replaced with renewable energy, downpours will increase, risking more landslides.

Our new @WWAttribution study finds that the extreme rainfall triggering #WayanadLandslide made 10% heavier by climate change (https://t.co/Q7lCFYUH96).
