1/5 Rising temps in the North Atlantic are more than just a climate change indicator - they pose real threats to human life. Let’s talk about why. #ClimateChange #NorthAtlantic
2/5 First, warmer waters can fuel more intense storms and hurricanes, increasing risks for coastal communities globally. This means higher potential for loss of life and property damage. #ExtremeWeather
3/5 Second, thermal expansion from warmer waters contributes to sea level rise. This could lead to increased coastal erosion and flooding, displacing people from their homes and affecting livelihoods. #SeaLevelRise

As temperatures rise due to climate change, it's vital to understand the impact of heat and prioritize our safety. In this series, we'll explore various aspects of heat and practical tips for safety. Let's dive into 4 info sections:

🌡️ SECTION ONE: HEAT UNDERSTANDING 🌡️
Learn how heat and humidity work together, the complications of heat, humidity, and direct sunlight, the rise in temperatures caused by climate change, and the significance of wet bulb temperature.
Learn how heat and humidity work together, the complications of heat, humidity, and direct sunlight, the rise in temperatures caused by climate change, and the significance of wet bulb temperature.
Heat and humidity go hand in hand. Humidity makes it harder for our bodies to cool down through sweat evaporation, making us feel hotter and more uncomfortable. #HeatUnderstanding
For the last few months, students at UBC Climate Justice Research Collaborative worked with us to create a story map that details the major concerns with TMX and charts the fight to stop it.

On May 16-17, @coe nations will gather for a once-in-a-generation Summit in Reykjavik 🇮🇸.
This is an opportunity for European States to reaffirm their commitment to core European values, including the rule of law, democracy, & #HumanRights.
This is an opportunity for European States to reaffirm their commitment to core European values, including the rule of law, democracy, & #HumanRights.
But doing so will require more than a family photo featuring heads of State: States should use this opportunity to fill a yawning gap in the European human rights framework & take a decisive step towards effectively protecting the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll.

1/12 Here is our very useful series of cards, we handed out to people at @StanChart - everyone was very keen to collect all 12 . We're looking forward to hearing which one was the most useful #ClimateAction
2/12 Could this be a regular excuse often heard inside @StanChart to delay climate action?

Today, in England, millions of voters make a choice in their #LocalElections2023. It’s a good time to share some new research that is related to two policy issues that will have touched many people over the last year: the #energycrisis & #crime.

In a nutshell, the paper shows that much of the widely reported surge in burglaries & anti-social behaviour could have been avoided, had the government provided more targeted energy price subsidies or had UK invested more in making homes more energy efficient. Last summer, ...
I modelled the impact of the energy price shock down to the property level for millions of homes. More #energyinefficient homes would see a bigger increase. Part of this work was reported in @FT as an interactive story ig.ft.com/uk-energy-effi…. This set up a framework to study...
1/ Really important new report on climate change and children’s health today from @EPA - it’s not an easy report to read, but it’s a necessary one. epa.gov/cira/climate-c…
2/ We know that children are uniquely vulnerable to climate change, because their bodies are still growing and developing. And health impacts during childhood can affect an entire lifetime.
3/ The report anticipates potential climate impacts for children in the US at 2 and 4 degrees of warming - we don’t know exactly when these levels of warming will happen, some estimates suggest we’ll reach 2 degrees of warming by 2040. (My own kids will be 24 in 2040.)
🧵Tens of thousands of people have been out on the streets of London since Friday, calling for #ClimateAction.
@morss_alex has been monitoring media coverage.
If you get your news from TV, broadsheets or tabloids, chances are you won't have heard anything about #TheBigOne.

But although you didn't hear about the tens of thousands of people protesting in London, chances are that you did hear about that one guy who jumped on a #snooker table in Sheffield.
None of this remotely surprising. It's yet another example of the #ActivistsDilemma in action.

When non-activists criticise groups like JSO for engaging in disruptive protest it's common for them to say they don't mind protest if it's done in a way that doesn't affect people going about their business. That's what activists have been doing this weekend. It doesn't work.

On #ClimateAction.
Africa can lead a revolutionary approach to climate change. One that recognizes Climate Action as the job engine for Africa. James Mwangi and his colleagues at Climate Action Platform Africa have presented this compelling point of view.

They argue that instead of pushing the narrative of Africa as a victim and or insisting on business-as-usual growth which would make Africa a big future emitter...
Africa should instead take the lead in tackling climate change leveraging on its renewable energy potential, young workforce, green technologies, carbon removal and green manufacturing.

The 1⃣ critical development is the first-ever public hearings at the @ECHR_CEDH on climate cases addressing the duty of states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including a case brought by the @KlimaSeniorin against Switzerland.
Today is a landmark day for #ClimateLitigation, for #HumanRights & for #ClimateJustice.
For the 1st time, the @ECHR_CEDH is holding two public hearings in #Climate cases.
CIEL's @duycks is in Strasbourg 🇫🇷 attending the hearings, follow him for updates from the ground.

@KlimaSeniorin, @DamienCAREME & @Y4CJ_ are calling on the court to hold States accountable for not doing enough to protect their citizens from the impacts of climate change.

Voici la centrale nucléaire d'#Emsland 🇩🇪
C'est une des meilleures centrales électriques du monde.
Du type #Konvoi à un réacteur, elle a été construite dans les délais et sous le budget en 5 ans, pour 3500 €/kW, et son exploitation a commencé 3 mois après la 1ère criticité. 🧵⤵️

D'une puissance de 1,4 GW, #Emsland a généré 93% de son maximum théorique sur sa durée de vie de 33 ans à ce jour, 11 TWh d'électricité par an, de quoi alimenter 3,5 millions de foyers, sans rejeter de CO2 ni de pollution.

Our new @NatureClimate paper just out! State-of-the-art estimates of economic impacts of climate change show that benefits of #ClimateAction outweigh the mitigation costs by a factor of 1.5 to 3.9 ➡️strong economic validation of #ParisAgreement 🔗 rdcu.be/c8jSK 1/7
We combined climate impacts of
🔴agriculture,
🟠sea-level rise,
🟡river floods,
🟢labour productivity,
🔵energy supply/demand,
🟣fishery,
🟤forestry and
⚫️road transportation
and transform this in financial costs. But not: ❌biodiversity loss❌health❌tipping points 2/7

For a 3°C scenario (RCP6.0, roughly current trend/baseline), economic impacts are 10-12% of GDP, with high regional differences. Even higher if sea-level rise adaptation is not optimal. 3/7
1/10 🇪🇹 Let's embark on an imaginative journey and explore how the administration of Eskinder Nega might have looked like if he were elected as the Prime Minister of Ethiopia. Keep in mind this is purely speculative! #EthiopianPolitics #AlternativeHistory
2/10 🕊️ Building Bridges: Nega's commitment to freedom of speech and democracy would likely drive his administration to prioritize national dialogue, bringing together various ethnic and political groups for peaceful discussions. #UnityInDiversity
3/10 🗳️ A New Era of Democracy: Electoral transparency could take center stage under Nega's administration, ensuring fair competition for all political parties. This might involve empowering the National Electoral Board and promoting voter education. #FreeAndFairElections
