In this #warmingstripes chat, @UlrikePaula noted paucity of research gauging any impacts of climate visualizations. Syncs with @Fisher_DanaR saying the same about climate activism: Have to do something on this at revkin.bulletin.com. Who works on this? 1/3
Here's @Fisher_DanaR talking about the research gaps around climate impact of climate activism: 2/3
And here's @IndraOverland talking about his research (with Sovacool) showing the sark paucity of funding for social sciences focused on social change required to stem climate change: pscp.tv/Revkin/1OwxWLz… 3/3

A #sustainwhat takeaway from NY's tragic #FlashFloodEmergency, inspired by a listener who said her phone alert came with no call to action. Is it time for #flashflood "#DryOut" training in flood-risk regions akin to quake states' #shakeout work? pscp.tv/Revkin/1BdxYYq… 1/
One reason: Flash floods pose a distinctly different threat compared to coastal flooding. As @wxpizza notes, they can happen almost anywhere and are local. The response challenge is similar to that with tornadoes. @climatesociety & @NASA working on this. 2'
Learn heaps in this video by Miriam Nielsen, @zentouro at @columbiaclimate A warning that gets pushed to everyone's phone is an incredible tool, but more often than not it's just ignored. 3/

With only nine or so vaquitas left in Mexican waters with little control on deadly nets set for a black-market fish, silence is replacing this tiny porpoise's vocalizations. Extinction looms. But the next 6 weeks can make a real difference. Read. Share: revkin.bulletin.com/41778589089738… 1/
Last week I was poised to write game over - that the conservation community should conserve resources for other efforts. I'd kept track via my @nytimes #dotearth blog for years, as numbers plunged from a couple hundred to a handful. China, particularly, seemed immovable. 2/
But in an interview last week, longtime vaquita scientist Barbara Taylor of @NOAAFisheries laid out four compelling reasons why a last-chance porpoise protection push is justified. The remaining handful of vaquitas are wary, fat and healthy, and not genetically bottlenecked. 3/

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.

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/
