Currently is a weather service, so you've got to be a weather nerd.
You should understand how weather impacts every part of our lives & be able to see the world from the perspective of people systematically disadvantaged by the inequality that weather & climate change creates.
We're a small team, and you'll have an outsized opportunity to shape the direction of the company and make a difference in the world.
Thank you so much for your application. We can't wait to work with you. ✨
Thanks to a generous donation, we're offering 25 annual subscriptions to The Phoenix and our community of climate revolutionaries, for free.

Our goals at The Phoenix are simple:
1⃣ Shift climate storytelling away from inevitable apocalypse towards the possibility of a better world; towards catastrophic success not catastrophic failure.
2⃣ Build a vision of irresistible justice that puts people at the center and advocates for anti-racism, anti-capitalism, anti-fascism and upholds the truth that we are all integral parts of the same living planet.
Here’s a thread on why financial institutions need to make promises for ZERO Fossil Fuels and not just “net-zero” (by @ZanageeArtis of @ThisIsZeroHour w/ info from @ciel_tweets) (1/7)
There are too many loopholes in net-zero for it to be adequate for climate justice. Net-zero allows companies and banks to shroud their impacts on emissions and continued expansion of fossil fuels @ZanageeArtis@ciel_tweets (2/7) ciel.org/reports/too-ma…
The “net” in net-zero refers to the idea that while some greenhouse gas emissions continue, natural or artificial sinks absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, resulting in zero overall emissions. @ZanageeArtis@ciel_tweets (3/7)
As world leaders prepare to debate our collective futures at #cop26 in Scotland, I’m proud to publish this personal essay from @ChimikaCha in Chongwe, Zambia.
Water is a fundamental human right. This is what inequality and climate change looks like.
@ChimikaCha Southern Zambia, like many places on the frontlines of the climate emergency, has struggled with increasingly erratic rainfall in recent years.
That’s increased the gap between the haves and have-nots down to the neighborhood level in places like Chongwe.
Fiske Nyirongo’s investigated the local scale as water divides her community. "Is there resentment brewing silently between the two groups? Will this town be used one day as an example of what happens when more pronounced inequalities due to climate change are not handled early?"

We are building a new weather service for the climate emergency — a service that helps you make sense of the changing weather, helps you make decisions for safety & joy, and helps advance climate justice.
Since launching in June with a mission to connect people around the world with personal, human-scale weather & climate context to help everyone survive & thrive in the climate emergency, @currently has expanded to 25 cities across North America & Europe with more on the way.
Our weather newsletters are a window into the kind of meteorological poetry and climate justice that have become a daily companion for thousands of people.
The system isn't broken, it's working exactly how it was made to: to protect the status quo at all costs.
We need fundamental, structural, systemic change. Change on a scale that matches the existential crisis we are in.
At this point, we have no other choice.
I mean this with my whole heart:
Find the people & places & creatures you care most about in this world, join together with them in solidarity, do literally everything you can to support each other for the next 8 years.
If every single one of us does that, it will be enough.
I'm really upset that @TEDCountdown decided to invite fossil fuel CEOs to their kickoff conference for #COP26. And glad this happened to the head of @Shell.
“On a conference about the future of our climate, it is unacceptable to include fossil fuel CEOs.” gizmodo.com/shell-ceo-roas…
Not only did @TEDCountdown invite the leader of @shell — one of the most-polluting companies in world history, the roster is full of status quo tech bros & people from the global north.
