At the cutting edge of climate research, individual extreme event attribution now takes only days to quantify the human fingerprint. The latest analysis shows that the crippling early season heatwave enveloping the lower US and Mexico is 35 times more likely due to human-caused climate change.

Good news: Mexico and Iceland have brand new women presidents and both are climate hawks! No surprise, since research consistently shows women leaders are more likely to support climate action, clean energy, and sustainability. More please!

To fight climate change, more female leaders are fundamentalwww.eib.org The EIB Climate Survey asks whether the fight against climate change would be more effective if we had more female leaders. Women think so. Many men disagree.

When it comes to the climate crisis, nature bats last. The text states: " When climate's action suddenly brought traffic to a standstill instead of climate activists, the criminal laws proved to be ineffective." Denial and doomerism isn't helpful. But there's lots we can do minimize impacts. 🧪💡🔌

Als statt Klimaaktivisten plötzlich Klimaaktivitäten den Verkehr lahm legten, erwiesen sich die Strafgesetze als wirkungslos.

I wish the National Academy of Sciences would recommend shade trees for each geographical region; trees which can grow beside homes without damaging cement block walls. There’s at least a 5 degree difference in homes with a shaded tin roof and those without shade.

Derelict satellites pass within 1,000 kilometers of each other 1,000 times a year, and any collision would instantly double the amount of space debris. A space rush is filling up orbit with unregulated satellites, mostly from private companies, and we need better protections 🧪🔭

There’s a growing trend of replacing shuttered coal plants with solar, batteries, or other forms of clean energy. The ground is already cleared and the hookup to the electrical power grid is already there, so it makes all the sense in the world! More of this please 😊🌎 Here’s Nevada USA…

Former coal-fired power plant site now home to incredible new energy storage system: 'The infrastructure to connect the battery system to the grid at scale already exists'www.yahoo.com "Throughout 2024, our customers are going to see their bills be between 15 and 20% lower by the end of the year."

This right here. As experts like @katharinehayhoe.com and others have pointed out, the knowledge deficit model simply does not work. COVID, climate change, Jan 6, it doesn't matter. This should be a foundational piece of knowledge for any academic, advocacy, and journalistic work.

one of the most important traps liberals need to avoid is believing "if they just knew the facts, they'd be on my side!"
