An average person confronted with an idea that *they* are personally contributing to #ClimateChange with their choices will naturally look for ways to avoid that uncomfortable feeling. Some will dismiss climate change altogether ("humans can't change climate" or "it's not that bad"), while others will blame others (corporations, China, etc.) Only a small minority will reflect and change their behavior, i.e. their lifestyles and purchasing patterns.

As the U.S. East Coast ramps up offshore wind power projects, much remains unknown.

AP examines "projects transforming coastlines from Maine to South Carolina."

My in-laws are going back to Australia today, so I'm already looking for flights to Australia for next year.

I feel horrible about flying that kind of long distance from an environmental perspective, but also they are rather old and I don't want us to not be able to see them again.

#climateChange vs #family - it's a loose - loose situation 🙁

Although #Biden fielded questions on a range of #ForeignPolicy issues, including #China’s #economic troubles & #ClimateChange, he spoke softly & appeared tired.…

It was far from the first time the president’s rivals have used his words & actions to undercut him, especially on social media platforms that do not emphasize the context or background for an event.

Yes! I generally agreed with (almost) everything Chris Field said during the discussion (which is rare for me)

He knows his #science #tech & #ecology in general

"He was co-chair of Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel on #ClimateChange (IPCC) (2008-2015), where he led the effort on "Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation" (2012), and "Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability.

"In today’s climate, half of the #UrbanAreas in #Europe would be climatically suitable for it, including large cities such as #London, #Paris, #Rome and #Barcelona.

With #GlobalHeating, the continent will become much more suitable for the species and help its spread across #Europe." #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange

I just participated in my first "hour of action" with Climate Changemakers! It's a wonderful program that helps give clear directions to US citizens on climate action issues and how to contact government officials to make the most impact!

This week's focus is the Solar for All grant opportunities available for states, municipalities, and tribal governments to apply for funding for decentralized solar projects.

Check them out! https://www.climatechangemakers.org/

“#Indigenous tribes in Michigan, Minnesota & Wisconsin have asked federal officials to deny a utility’s request for a loan to help build a natural gas-fired power plant on the shores of Lake Superior, calling the project unthinkable in the face of #climatechange.” https://apnews.com/article/indigenous-tribes-power-plant-superior-loan-83c015b41d6a0f10cdc8abe62217b3a6

31 years ago, East 17 released "House of Love". It is shocking how much it speaks to current day issues when you actually listen to the #lyrics.

Some contemporary reviews were unkind:

OK, but for a boy band's dance floor #anthem, this is heavy stuff.

Greece gets 800 mm (31 inches) of rain in 24 hrs, Hong Kong gets 158 mm (6 inches) of rain in an hour, now Libya has flooded with significant loss of life. These are all extreme events - can we just please admit that our weather is completely messed up due to #ClimateChange??
