Can we link the record rainfall in Michigan, which is collapsing dams and leading to 'catastrophic' flooding, to climate change? Yes.

Journalists: check out this fact sheet for the latest science on the links between climate change and floods.

Thanks to @afreedma + @MatthewCappucci at @washingtonpost @capitalweather for talking about climate change in their reporting on this flooding disaster. We need more coverage that makes these links!

We have an opportunity right now to tackle the climate crisis + rebuild our economy with clean energy. Instead the Trump Admin is bailing out fossil fuels.

In a new post for @equitablegrowth, @mmildenberger and I break down these dirty bailouts. /THREAD!

Many hoped stimulus bills around the world could tackle the climate crisis. Alas, it has not been so. As this great report from economists including Stiglitz and Stern shows: in the G20 as many policies are brown (4%) as green (4%). That’s terrible.

While the COVID-19 crisis has slashed global emissions the drop is ultimately small and temporary. See this excellent new research from @clequere, @Peters_Glen el al. Optimistically emissions will only drop by 7% this year, bringing us back to 2006 levels.

Finished reading Rebecca Solnit's latest, "Recollections of My Nonexistence." It's brilliant.

Some favorite passages.

"There’s a Buddhist phrase about the work of bodhisattvas: 'the liberation of all beings.' I see feminism as a subset of that work."

"Mostly when people write about the trauma of gender violence, it’s described as one awful, exceptional event or relationship, as though you suddenly fell into the water, but what if you’re swimming through it your whole life, and there is no dry land in sight?" -- Rebecca Solnit
"To be a young woman is to face your own annihilation in innumerable ways or to flee it or the knowledge of it, or all these things at once." -- Rebecca Solnit
