@TRCA_HQ and the @mcacgallery recently completed the construction of a rock protected swale. To find out what a rock protected swale is and how it’s made, check out the video below. Learn more:https://t.co/f5EW9OoFBQ

Our awesome TRCA field staff are still out there doing essential flood mitigation projects on Toronto Islands (among other erosion risk management work all over the city) even during #COVID-19 - https://t.co/KE5iOxMnSw #EssentialWorkers #ThankYou

@uoftalumni your new LinkedIn webinar registration page isn't working. It tells me "no matching profile found" no matter how I fill it out (using alumni number or student number!). Can you fix this issue please? Really interested in this event!

The climate change policy with the most potential is the most neglected. Publicly-funded clean energy research has potential to make huge impacts on global emissions reductions - https://t.co/gWLyklSZ6S via @voxdotcom

France’s record-breaking heatwave made ‘at least five times’ more likely by climate change. Weather attribution assessments are the type of understandable reporting we need to help people connect the dots between climate change and their weather: https://t.co/yiOBm8djlc

Hey @ErikaMoen @Plustenstrength, pretty disappointed that you guys are presenting health misinformation in the latest #OhJoySexToy comic. Sponges (even sea sponges) are a REALLY bad choice of menstrual product. See @DrJenGunter's informative post on this: https://t.co/jN9UIpW9KN

European forests could ‘live fast and die young’ in a warming climate, changing the way carbon sequestration by trees functions, as their life cycles are altered: https://t.co/5hiaoRaJkj

You might have heard that Great Britain managed a #CoalFreeWeek for its electricity needs for over seven days. That's great, but what's even more important is the massive overall reduction they've made over the past few years. #ClimateAction #ClimateChangeIsReal

[Carbon Brief @CarbonBrief]

@DrSimEvans @tomoprater The amount of electricity generated from coal is down 90% in five years.

Coal now supplies less than 5% of the electricity generated in the UK.

It was 40% as recently as 2012.

@scifrey @uniquevintage Not plus sized, but worked at a store that sold UV dresses. Careful when ordering and size up if in doubt. Their flapper dresses (at least as of a year or two ago) ran SUPER small compared to their other dresses. Like, I fit a M in most styles but needed L/XL in flapper ones.

Roses are red
Corn snakes are long
Meet my pal Hephaestus
It's cute when he yawns

#ValentineASpecies is giving me so much joy today. Had to add my own terrible poetry, hopefully made up for by video of my adorable #snake.

[ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover @MarsCuriosity]

It seems to me you lived your life
like a rover in the wind
never fading with the sunset
when the dust set in.

Your tracks will always fall here,
among Mars' reddest hills;
your candle's burned out long before
your science ever will.

#ThanksOppy. I owe you so much.

First comprehensive climate report of 2019 looks at how the world warmed in 2018, and the results aren't great. 4th warmest year on record, but the hottest ever if you look specifically at ocean heat - https://t.co/3WxZOGRW0I

Many of Toronto’s trees are older than the city itself. Super cool project to map and preserve our city's natural heritage! via @torontostar

Why BBC stopped interviewing climate change deniers. Short answer: because they're finally examining the effects of false balance in reporting, and as one commenter put it: "You don't interview alchemists alongside chemists." https://t.co/aZk2EOJ0lF via @YouTube
