The kids aren't alright

In our new paper in @ScienceMagazine and acompanying @save_children report, we uncover the strong intergenerational inequities in exposure to climate extremes 🧵 1/n

Paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… In climate science, we usually study change by comparing 2 time windows, e.g. 'by the end of the century, there will be X times more heatwaves compared to today'. But this approach fails to quantify the climate change burden on a particular generation in a particular location 2/n

How is climate change affecting fire risk? In the recent @IPCC_CH special report on #ClimateChange & land, this is assessed based on 20 scientific studies. The results show the key role of increasing fire weather and population growth in fire-prone regions. #SRCCL (Thread; 1/n) The above figure shows a 'burning ember', it represents a synthesis of the available scientific knowledge on the topic in one intuïtive color scheme. Every color has a meaning, with darker colors denoting higher risk levels (2/n)
