La jueza Ketanji Brown Jackson ha sido confirmada como jueza de la Corte Suprema.
You don’t need to be a #Climate scientist to realize this is terrifying. Millions of lives depend on the survival of the #Arctic ... our actions & decisions matter.
Wow - well above average temperatures were observed over nearly the entire #Arctic Circle in March 2022... 😵💫 [Data: @CopernicusECMWF ERA5 reanalysis]
#AlexandriaVA buildings must be electrified & retrofitted to meet our GHG reduction targets. Ithaca NY has committed to fully decarbonizing its buildings by 2030, and you can hear how they plan to do this in our webinar tomorrow, 1/6 at 6pm. Register at: bit.ly/3pRePbo
Important reason Alexandria should lead electrification of our built environment:
First indoor air quality experiment down. Cooked with our natural gas stove for about 30 min starting at 7pm. PM2.5 was the equivalent of our worst days of wildfire smoke this year. #energytwitter
In a world with lots of climate stripe graphs (all inspired by the great @ed_hawkins), I think @alxrdk makes the best looking and most useful ones:
Please join us! We're now kicking off the Energy Efficiency as a Resource (EER) Conference with a keynote address by Sen. Tina Smith, D-MN. We're discussing efforts to use energy better to cut #GHG emissions, advance equity, & mitigate #climatechange. aceee.org/2021-eer-confe…
@justindotnet True on both counts, but that doesn't mean Alexandria is doing what it needs to to keep flooding from getting much, much worse. This new position seems to be at a much higher level.
Excellent! When can we expect the announcement of a similarly high-profile position to lead our climate mitigation efforts, since they are directly connected? Achieving Council's goal of cutting GHG emissions in half in 9 years won't happen without city leadership.
Excited that we are bringing Dr. Medina onboard to lead our stormwater infrastructure efforts. The City has now committed hundreds of millions of dollars to make badly-needed flood-resiliency infrastructure investments. Let's get to work! alexandriava.gov/news_display.a…
CSG’s Bill Pugh: "The implication of these two findings is that avoiding climate catastrophe is impossible unless we shift to less car-dependent communities and transportation systems - as well as quickly adopt EVs." bit.ly/3AN5Efc
I cried after pretty much every interview reporting this story washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
The city of Sydney now runs on 100% wind and #solarpower. Who's next? RT if you want your city to get a renewable upgrade. We have the solutions to the #ClimateEmergency. Let's implement them. #ActOnClimate #Climate #energy #GreenNewDeal #BuildBackBetter
"Our homes are our safe places. Yet scientists are uncovering that burning fossil gas in buildings is dangerous to our health. Children living in a home w/ a gas stove have a 42% increased chance of having asthma. Thankfully we have the solution...electrification." @leahstokes🔥
U.S. House committees are advancing bills this week to include in Congress’s big $3.5 trillion economic plan. Let’s take a look at just some of the notable energy efficiency investments included 🧵
Today the world's biggest carbon capture facility turned on. If it works, in one year it will capture three seconds worth of humanity's CO2 emissions... at incredible expense. I'm rooting for it, but only a fool would bet the planet on it. #EndFossilFuel
The atmosphere contains more water as global temperatures rise, increasing the risk of extreme heavy rainfall, like that just seen in New Jersey and New York. Burning fossil fuels makes extreme weather worse.
Using energy efficiency first is integral for electrification and for meeting renewable energy targets. From @RegAssistProj: raponline.org/blog/the-unsun…
@YimbyA ...and for someone who gets that we're in a #ClimateEmergency, and that leading the change necessary to cut Alexandria's GHG emissions in half over the next 9 years is mission-critical
"Staying below 1.5 degrees is the only chance we have of avoiding these tipping points and stabilising our world again" Hear from #COP26 People’s Advocate, Sir David Attenborough, on why every fraction of a degree matters 👇 #TogetherForOurPlanet | #ClimateAction
@patpend @391deltacharlie @DrainALX What constitutes a "100 year" event will continue changing until we stop emitting greenhouse gases. Alexandria's most ambitious target is to reduce emissions 80% (not eliminate them) by 2050, so the goalposts will keep moving for at least the next 30 years.
'It is not possible to offset your way out of the climate problem. Deep emission reductions are essential for mitigation.'
Even in a 1.5°C scenario with the most extreme levels of CO₂ removal (green), CO₂ emissions decline ~90% at the time of net-zero CO₂ emissions. It is not possible to offset your way out of the climate problem: deep emission reductions are essential. cicero.oslo.no/no/posts/klima…
