There are reasons for this, and they have nothing to do with the #physics of a warming #atmosphere.

But it’s much harder to dismiss the stunning progress in the European Union’s host #city.

Looks like people are doing an #introduction for themselves on here. So here’s mine:
I’m a #journalist, based in #NYC. Currently serving as senior economic justice correspondent for NextCity.org, a national urban affairs magazine covering solutions to advance social, racial and environmental justice in cities.
I specifically tend to write about different models historically #redlined communities are using to take back #power over #money, #land and #labor.
My cats are cuter than yours.
