We are students and faculty at Purdue concerned about climate change. We call on Purdue to take action to decarbonize. [email protected]

Are you part of the @LifeAtPurdue community? Do you want to take action to push our university to curb its emissions? Join us on 1/31/2024!!! 👇👇👇👇

WHY ARE YOU TAKING CLIMATE PREDICTIONS FROM A RODENT IN PUNXSUTAWNEY AND NOT FROM THE 97% OF CLIMATE SCIENTISTS RINGING THE ALARM BELLS AND DESPERATELY WARNING HUMANITY THAT WE ARE ON THE PRECIPICE OF AN IRREVERSIBLE GLOBAL CATASTROPHE?

[PurdueClimateActionCollective @PurdueZeroCO2]

@LifeAtPurdue Did the university do any consideration of the increased Carbon emissions this will cause? We need to be flying less. Perhaps we need this for our region, but where is the attempt to balance our immediate convenience and the future of the planet?

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

People often ask me, "When it comes to climate action, do we need individual actions or systemic change?"

My answer is YES.

An important thread to help us all understand what has been hailed as one of the most important environmental policy decisions in years. TLDR: it's a good thing the Biden administration did, but it's not as good as many have made it out to be.

[Emily Atkin @emorwee]

There’s a lot of misinformation floating around about Biden's recent decision on LNG.

It's coming from both sides of the political aisle, which are exaggerating the impact of Biden's decision to try to rile up their voter bases.

Here's how to understand it without the spin🧵

Climate group asks Purdue to reduce emissions https://t.co/W9IQ50ol7N via @purdueexponent

[PurdueClimateActionCollective @PurdueZeroCO2]

Depressing stat of the day: in fiscal year 2022, the emissions created in order to power campus at @LifeAtPurdue resulted in 11 metric tons of CO2/person. And yet Purdue has no serious plans to reduce their carbon footprint.

[PurdueClimateActionCollective @PurdueZeroCO2]

This warms the heart!

WATCH! New Jersey just blew up its last coal fired power planet. It will build storage for renewable energy instead. These are the transitions we need to see in 2023: https://t.co/a5SkTTKqRA

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

[PurdueClimateActionCollective @PurdueZeroCO2]

Last night, we had a great call-out, gathering together over 50 students who want to get involved with our efforts to convince @LifeAtPurdue to decarbonize. It was inspiring, and we have great energy going forward. Join us!

Purdue Today’s book series celebrates @LifeAtPurdue faculty expertise across a variety of subjects. This week, we’re highlighting @purdue_english professor Michael Johnston and his book, “The Middle English Book.” https://t.co/dDjRc3trmf

[PurdueClimateActionCollective @PurdueZeroCO2]

Here's to a 2024 full of progress and hope in humanity. To those in the @LifeAtPurdue community, join us this year as we seek to make this the year Purdue lives up to its obligations to decarbonize.

“When our children and grandchildren look back at the history of human-made climate change, this year and next will be seen as the turning point at which the futility of governments in dealing with climate change was finally exposed.” https://t.co/qWZfllO69K

@PurdueToday @PurdueAeroAstro @blueorigin @LifeAtPurdue Amazing. @LifeAtPurdue keeps on impressing with its faculty-driven innovations. But why is the university silent on decarbonizing???? 🤷

[PurdueClimateActionCollective @PurdueZeroCO2]

@mzjacobson And universities should be leading the way, since they are innovation and thought leaders. Sadly and embarrassingly, @LifeAtPurdue has no decarbonization plans

Does the response match the threat?https://t.co/pErHRnGohH

[PurdueClimateActionCollective @PurdueZeroCO2]

But no stories here involve Purdue finally facing up to its responsibility to reduce its carbon emissions

An essential read: Yes, change needs to happen at the top, but on the local level, we can effect change, as well. That's what we're trying to do at @lifeatpurdue.

Now that we're on Twitter, I'm reposting this from a while ago. Update: nothing has changed at @LifeAtPurdue
