A wonderful, accessible resource for understanding, thinking about, and discussing #ClimateChange in @nytimes, based on seven straightforward questions. /1 https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/19/climate/climate-crash-course-1.html">https://www.nytimes.com/interacti...
/2 For more in-depth discussion, I found @dwallacewells& #39;s THE UNINHABITABLE EARTH (now available in paperback) to be well worth reading.... https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/586541/the-uninhabitable-earth-by-david-wallace-wells/">https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/586...
/3 A completely different approach, but equally effective, was @HopeJahren& #39;s THE STORY OF MORE: HOW WE GOT TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/575671/the-story-of-more-by-hope-jahren/">https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/575...
/4 Books are great, but the @nytimes #ClimateChange 7-day crash course is well worth it.
"The science is clear: The world is warming dangerously, humans are the cause of it, and a failure to act today will deeply affect the future of the Earth." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/19/climate/climate-crash-course-1.html">https://www.nytimes.com/interacti...

/5 Oh, yeah, and, in November, vote like the future of the planet depends upon it. ... Because, well, it does. https://twitter.com/leahstokes/status/1253017888203497472">https://twitter.com/leahstoke...
/6 A short thread highlighting @billgates& #39; thought-provoking piece. Yes, dramatically higher temperatures seem far off, but that doesn& #39;t mean they& #39;re any less problematic. The best way to avoid the worst possible outcomes is to accelerate our efforts now. https://twitter.com/ProfSchooner/status/1291404687116324876">https://twitter.com/ProfSchoo...
/7 Meanwhile, to the North ... The Arctic has been warming at twice the global rate for the last 30 years, due to a process known as Arctic amplification. But this year, temperatures in the polar region have been intense. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-change-canada/canadas-last-fully-intact-arctic-ice-shelf-collapses-idUSKCN2523JH">https://www.reuters.com/article/u...
/8 Useful #ClimateChange context and food for thought from @leahstokes in @TheAtlantic. We have seen what using fossil fuels has done to CA. They have poisoned communities, dirtied air & led to record fires, heat waves & drought. We are not going back. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/californias-disasters-are-a-warning-climate-change-is-here/615610/">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc...
/9 Hmmm, maybe this year, for the holiday season, we should consider @NaomiOreskes& #39; & @ErikMConway& #39;s (slight, inexpensive, but potent) The Collapse of Western Civilization as stocking stuffers. http://cup.columbia.edu/book/the-collapse-of-western-civilization/9780231169547">https://cup.columbia.edu/book/the-...
/8b ... Meanwhile, to the South, in Brazil. https://twitter.com/dwallacewells/status/1299438629681537031">https://twitter.com/dwallacew...
/10 It& #39;s so difficult to focus on #ClimateChange ... which not only demands our attention, but will demand staggering change (and, of course, serious leadership)... but ... but ... gee, this is important, and we& #39;re past the time for gentle warnings ... https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/09/california-cant-afford-to-wait-for-climate-action.html">https://nymag.com/intellige...
