In the 19th century, gravity + water at West Point Foundry equaled steam engine components, cannon barrels. Now simply this. Thanks to @scenichudson, the outdoor museum here always illuminates.
Some other views of what amounts to a @longnow outdoor museum of industry history and landscape recovery: West Point Foundry Preserve. Here's a snapping turtle walking past the one intact structure.
Here's the artist's rendering of the West Point Foundry water wheel, which powered boring machines making cannon barrels that helped the Union Army win the Civil War:

An #EarthDay jam of highlights from the first #COVID19 #EarthWeek through this one (yes, the pandemic is not remotely over..). Here's @DarWilliamsTour singing "The Hudson" on our @columbiaclimate song swap a year ago: pscp.tv/Revkin/1mrGmQR… 1/
And #EarthDay music includes songs about corporations focused on dollars more than wellbeing. So another tune from last year's #earthweek @columbiaclimate show from The Nestlers, singing, "The banks are made of marble, with a guard at every door..." pscp.tv/Revkin/1mrGmQR… 2/
If you haven't seen and heard paleoecologist @curtstager playing "Coal Vein" (a riff on @JJCaleOfficial's Cocaine) on his flashing glowing banjo, here's your #earthday chance! pscp.tv/Revkin/1yoJMaE… 3/

There's a logic fail in my old friend @billmckibben's effort to derail @DKeithClimate's plan to loft a balloon in Sweden. Arguing even this tiny step toward assessing #SRM must wait until '30 misses how long it takes to do anything related to climate. newyorker.com/news/annals-of…
Every facet of the global climate challenge is super tough and requires years (generations even) of effort. Today's photovoltaic, LED, and battery successes did not arise from Musk-style entrepreneurship. They started with grinding basic study, like lofting a first balloon. 2/
And I'm no #SRM fan. I see no prospect this tech will used at scale in my or Bill's lifetimes (there's no plausible "lone actor" scenario & governments will never agree on full-scale deployment). But I do see merit in understanding what's possible. dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/11/mor… 3/

Vital coverage of the social/xenophobic drivers of a climate catastrophe by @ColumbiaJournMA team/@stillsarita.1/⤵️
Would love to host a @columbia @earthinstitute #sustainwhat session with the @columbiajourn team like the one we did with @AbrahmL @sciandmedia @watersecurity @agmunozs on climate and migration.. pscp.tv/Revkin/1DXxyAl… 2/⤵️
My quibble with the New Yorker story is with #climatechange framing. CO2 impacts on hurricane dynamics still pale beside the drivers of risk via social/political pressures leading to extreme exposure & vulnerability of Haitians in Bahamas. Dorian was epic but not unique. 3/⤵️

There are many avenues you can take to pursue #climateaction at the intersection of the arts, science and society.

The first step to sanity and impact? Realize the prismatic #climatecrisis has many facets. Cutting vulnerability? Huge. Cutting emissions? Huge. Pick one.⤵️
2. I guarantee there is one issue or problem at the interface between climate and society that suits your passions and skills best. Energy innovation? Vulnerability reduction? Community building? Political engagement? Global? Local? Glocal? All are needed. Choose your sweet spot.
3. Are you an artist, a musician, a coder, a writer, a teacher, a comedian? Take on a target and start to apply your craft or art. Here's @RollieWilliams on #carbonoffsets and the bathtub effect: pscp.tv/Revkin/1BdGYYj… #climatecomedy
