In so many ways, the #climatecrisis#COVID pandemic. Loss of life, societal upheaval, supply chain disruptions, and cost escalations. And such an inexplicable refusal to act and mitigate or adapt when necessary.

From the mountains to the prairies to the oceans racked with storms. God tells American: Take care of your home.
A wildfire that has been burning in Southern California for nearly a month flared up over the weekend, forcing another round of evacuations. The fire, known as the Line fire, had burned through about 43,000 acres and was 80% contained, officials said.
The Line fire, which has burned since Sept. 5, forced another evacuation order this weekend.
This must be the same logic causing people to drive through flooded roads when even mailboxes & traffic signs are almost fully submerged. Whatever common sense humanity once had seems to be disappearing. Hard to take #climateaction#climaterisk.
More people across the U.S. are exposed to the risk of natural hazards and dangerous heat as climate change is amplifying extreme weather. A New York Times analysis shows where.
As Americans have flocked south and west, more people have been exposed to the risk of hazards like hurricanes, floods, wildfires and dangerous heat.
The cruel irony of the devastation #HurricaneHelene#climatechange. It's a lesson we seem loathe to learn: so long as we burn stuff to fuel our lives, nowhere is immune from catastrophe.
Painful irony w/Helene's colossal damage in Asheville: the city recently placed #3 on a list of US cities most likely to experience "climate migration". Asheville summers are cool by Southeastern standards, and annual avg precip (~36") is low for the region. www.citizen-times.com/story/news/l...
Migration due to climate change may land Asheville a lot of new residents in coming years according to a sustainable real estate expert.
It's encouraging to see more news and weather outlets reporting on the science linking #extremeweather#climatechange. Now we just need more people to pay attention to that reporting.
"Hurricane Helene: How climate change is making Florida's Big Bend more vulnerable to tropical threats" by Julia Jacobo for @abcnews.go.com.web.brid.gy: abcnews.go.com/US/hurricane...
Hurricane Helene is heading straight for one of the regions most vulnerable to the impact of hurricanes: Florida's Big Bend.
āYour EV will just run on coal.ā Not quite. We often charge when itās cheapest and there are a lot of renewables on the system. Last night we had a lot of wind. I charged and got paid as prices went negative.
We can either invest NOW in #climatesolutions#cleanenergy and a more stable, livable world, or...
šØNEW: As Hurricane Helene bears down on Florida, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund has warned climate impacts could cause well over half a trillion dollars in damage to real estate by 2050.
The global property market faces in excess of half a trillion dollars in damage from climate impacts, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund has warned.
Most of the energy debate is focused on the tip of the iceberg - electricity. But almost 80% of our energy use is for heat and transport relying heavily on fossil fuels. Decarbonisation requires an all-sector approach.
