Yesterday 44 of the world’s leading climate scientists wrote an open letter about collapse of the Atlantic Ocean’s circulation (AMOC) When I interviewed one of them about the consequences of AMOC reaching a tipping point he could barely keep it together. 🧵

In Somerset, a giant science experiment to tackle flooding began 10 years ago. Rather than trying to resist the sea, a large tract of land was surrendered to it. Lots of people were opposed. The local MP called it “an extravagant, ridiculous scheme”🧵

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

20mph speed limits in London has cut fatal & serious collisions by 25%. 🚲👨‍🦽‍➡️🚶❤️ And now car insurance companies are saying that it’s helping reduce the cost premiums because of fewer claims. 💷💷💷
