Climate change is simple. We started burning fossil fuels during the industrial revolution, adding extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. As a direct consequence - due to well understood physics - global temperatures started to increase. We are now experiencing the consequences.

Deniers: "No global warming since yesterday!!"

Ever wondered how many oil wells are near you? This interactive map let's you see the financial, environmental, and health impact of oil wells on your community. You can filter by County, City, State Assembly or Senate districts. Environment California bit.ly/3RIhtyA

And you thought the price of gas was expensive...

It's a start...

Saving the Great Barrier Reef requires: "a reduction in global greenhouse emissions to stabilise temperatures, best practice mgmt of local pressures, and the development of interventions to help reefs adapt to and recover from effects of climate change." aims.gov.au/monitoring-gre…

"The extremes we have observed over the last few months provide a dramatic testimony of how far we now are from the climate in which our civilization developed."

I just want to write a quick thread about the absurdity of climate change denial. Where usually right wing ideologues, deny the reality of climate change, because it doesn't fit in with their ideological outlook. It is absurd, and irrational. 1/🧵

#ClimateChange 🌡️ is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions 🏭 We’re causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes We are taking Earth’s 🌎 climate beyond natural limits with carbon dioxide & temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years

Records allover South America ! ARGENTINA 43C again Las Lomitas,40C Oran In PARAGUAY records allover 29.6/41.6 Asuncion Double record hottest day/night. 41.6 Concepcion and Pozo Colorado 41.5 General Bruguez 40.2 Paraguari BOLIVIA 37.1 Santa Rosa 36.6 San Joaquin 36.4 Magdalena

Short 🧵 of great accounts that post solid science and info about #climatechange. Every one of them is worth a follow for #ClimateAction folks, #ClimateBrawl pals and anyone else who wants regular updates on the #ClimateCrisis and what we can do about it. Thanks to BONUS🌍!

Code Yikes! The North Atlantic SST anomaly is up over 1.0°C again for the first time since last October. Luckily, I already extended the y-axis last June.

It’s been six months since I posted this (semi-viral?) thread👇 So let’s take a renewed look: How has the debate between these two competing “climate urgency science narratives” evolved over the last half year? 🧵

“Dozens of rivers and streams in Alaska are turning rusty orange, a likely consequence of thawing permafrost, a new study finds.” theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

"Hot Atlantic sets the stage for extreme hurricane season" by James Dinneen for New Scientist: newscientist.com/article/243292…

“According to NOAA’s best estimates, that pace is expected to speed up dramatically. It took about 80 years for the first foot. The second one will only take 30 years. The next, 20 years. And Florida could see the next foot in merely a decade after that.” phys.org/news/2024-05-s…

Here's an excellent, ongoing 🧵 of fantastic folks to follow for #ClimateAction on the #ClimateCrisis / #ClimateEmergency. They're activists, scientists and experts in many related fields, all with great #scicomm to help educate people about #climatechange and related topics.👍

Another month, another record The 12th consecutive of its kind, in fact May 2024 was the warmest on record The circled dots in the beeswarm chart are the most recent 12 months Read our story with @KenzaBryan here on.ft.com/3x648Io

It's only the first week of meteorological summer and in Las Vegas it's never been this hot, so early, with a #record high Thu. of 111° & a record warm low temp of 85°. Also setting records: Death Valley: 122° Needles: 115° Phoenix: 113° Barstow: 111° More 🔥 on Friday.
