Building resilience to the climate risks we can no longer avoid is essential. As the floods, wildfires and heatwaves just this week underscore, though, it's no substitute for urgently cutting emissions. We cannot adapt our way out of the climate crisis. https://t.co/VmnBUf8RS0

I’ve been saying this for years, and my friends finally believe me: There is no place safe from climate change. Period. And clearly, we are running out of time. That’s why this is the single most important issue we face. I read this story about wealthy homeowners’ opposition to wind farms off the Jersey shore, and I just wanted to scream. What kind of dumb fucks think this is rational? Never mind, I know: Republicans.

That’s the best thing you can do about global warming: support Democrats, with your time and money. There are no longer any alternatives.

Net Zero is "kicking the can down the road." It's a great slogan – sounds wonderful until you look around and see everything is accelerating in the now, & tipping points have been passed, Think of it as a propaganda bandage on the #ClimateEmergency unravelling before our eyes. pic.twitter.com/QYA4VCWOaq

The most astonishing thing about the last 8 weeks of extreme planetary heat is how much of it is at, or below, the Equator, where June and July are winter time. #ClimateEmergency pic.twitter.com/YfNW64xDON

"Now, so little water remains in some villages near the Euphrates River that families are dismantling their homes, brick by brick, piling them into pickup trucks — window frames, doors and all — and driving away."https://t.co/bPxDu3Ke9L
