We have lost a giant in our field, Sir John Houghton: former IPCC chair, a climate scientist and man of faith.
His autobiography, aptly titled "In the Eye of the Storm" shows how he fought to the end to communicate the risks of climate change and the need for action motivated - as am I - by his Christian faith. amazon.com/Eye-Storm-Auto…
Sir John Houghton also co-authored this report by the @NAEvangelicals on climate change, titled "Loving the Least of These" that emphasizes how climate change disproportionately affects the poorest and most vulnerable in the world. nae.net/loving-the-lea…

In this week’s online class, Dr Evil was SHOCKED to learn that he and his furry friends are responsible for more than 2B bird deaths per year. That’s 10,000x more than the bird deaths from wind turbines so often cited by those who oppose clean energy 🙀 #Caturday
And when you look at the impact of fossil fuels on bird deaths, those are also orders of magnitude greater than wind turbines ... which is why even @audubonsociety supports wind energy **with the essential caveat that wind farms not be sited on migratory flyways**
(And just to be clear, Dr Evil is not personally responsible for any of these deaths – the few times he does manage to bolt out the door, he is quickly retrieved)

The one and only Jim Hansen, the NASA climate scientist who has beat the drum on climate change since his famous 1988 briefing to Congress on global warming that was a key turning point in public awareness of climate change, is on twitter. This is his first tweet.
Jim's book, "Storms of my Grandchildren," describes in vivid and unmistakable terms the risks climate change poses for all of us and why we need to fix it as soon as humanly possible. amazon.com/Storms-My-Gran…
He's raised awareness of the dangers of tipping points, irreversible changes in the climate system that could occur as we push it faster + further than ever before, to the point where the first two q's in the webinar I gave today on water were about this! insideclimatenews.org/news/20090715/…

Just to be clear, the carbon in the atmosphere is at a 15 million year high. So, no.
If you want to know what's really been happening to carbon emissions and air pollution as a result of the pandemic, and what that means for us long-term, I unpack it here:
And how do we know we're at a 15-million-year high? Thanks to the field of paleoclimatology that uses ice cores, sediment records, stalactites in caves, and many more fascinating ways to track the earth's history. Learn more here: ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/pa…
