I have no problem with one kingdom, Denmark, and another, Trump's USA, debating the importance of Greenland and who should have sway. The problem is the lack of voice of Greenlanders themselves. I do think a case can be made for a Compact of Free Association (as with some Pacific island groups). Hopefully the invasion bluster is a cover for steps toward such an outcome (but that has to be with Greenlanders). Relevant links below, including from @Dwayne_Menezes, a key voice on Greenland strategic issues and options. #StandWithGreenland

One up side to Trump's Greenland mania: I'm glad to see @StephenM tell @seanhannity ⤴️that #climatechange is real, drawing on all the findings in my 2004 Greenland coverage and our 2005 @nytimes Big Melt series and Arctic Rush documentary (@Revkin, @ckrausss @stevenleemyers @craigwduff @viaSimonRomero) Links ⤵️

@seanhannity @StephenM @nytimes @ckrausss @stevenleemyers You can't see @craigwduff's @ScienceWriters prize-winning Arctic Rush doc in full but some clips are here: nytimes.com/video/science/… / nytimes.com/video/science/… / nytimes.com/video/science/… 🧵

Just had a wide-ranging discussion with my old climate blogging antagonist Joe Romm (now @PennCSSM etc) and, boy, he had a message for "#cleanenergy" VC folks and others thinking of #GreenHydrogen as a climate fix... Here are some nuggets and link to the full #sustainwhat show... 1/

A big #glof is under way in Alaska and portions of the city of Juneau are being told to evacuate. Below you can see the wild ice/water dynamics upstream in 2023. The Mendenhall glacier periodically blocks and builds a floodwater lake and then releases a glacial lake outburst flood. You can track breathless headlines or simply go to the great website below for realtime details. 1/2

I criticized some of @ClimateDefiance's targets and tactics in the past (as they tried to press Biden to move farther left when he was so threatened from the right).

But I recognize that #responsediversity is inevitable (you don't want society to move in lockstep facing a complicated threat).

And I have to say they picked a clever target disrupting a Lee Zeldin Hamptons breakfast days after his EPA moved to undermine its own climate regulations. And what a lunatic response from some of the congregation (particularly the guy named Simon assaulting a protestor with a chair).

And here's the thing. The New York Times obsessively covers the Hamptons, and climate, but ran zilch about the protest? In fact, the only coverage I've found is The The East Hampton Star and Common Dreams. Anyone else? The Instagram link and story links are in thread.

1. I actually don't think there's as much disagreement here as it might seem. Clearly @MatthewCappucci is not blaming the girls or their counselors. But - clearly - the multi-million-dollar for-profit camp will own a substantial part of the responsibility for the scope of human losses. As the @Nytimes vividly reported, the $5-million expansion of the camp along Cypress Creek did not include relocating vulnerable cabins along the Guadalupe (there's way more from @AndrewRumbach and others on this elsewhere revkin.substack.com/i/167764976/ca…). ⤵️

2. Boosting community resilience to natural - and unnatural - hazards) is, like so many issues today, a systems challenge, as @oldscarf1stweek says. But it's clear in disaster-risk-reduction circles that, particularly for hyperlocal threats like this kind of flood or tornadoes, the "last mile" is, too often, where the gap between warning and response exists. @oldscarf1stweek is spot on that more must always be done by professionals (#EMG professionals, @NWS community outreach staff (those unfilled positions...), local meteorologists and media, social media and telecomm folks, and of course local elected officials). But that includes property owners too. ⤵️

3. As for when accountability should be explored, there's a longstanding debate. It'd be great if the country had a National Disaster Review Board, as I and others have long argued. But we don't, meaning the press and experts like Matt have to dive in, and - yes - sometimes doing so when audiences outside of a particular disaster zone are tuned in. @paulkrugman just wrote a piece worth reaading on this (I think the headline is flawed because it's not *just* about politics, but the issues are well described): "When it comes to disasters, accountability delayed is accountability denied." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/should-we-po… ⤵️

“It’s like pitching a tent in the highway... It’s going to happen, sooner or later — a car is going to come, or a big flood is going to come.” - Anna Serra Llobet, quoted in a powerful @nytimes deconstruct of the built vulnerability at Camp Mystic. Story link below. 1/

She's been at this a long while. See below.
