It's Time to Turn #Climate Angst into #ClimateAction! See my new op-ed with Katharine Hayhoe Prof. Katharine Hayhoe Houston Chronicle. As #NCA5 shows, the impacts of climate disruption are everywhere, but so is action. Parents: let's fix this for our kids! Science Moms houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…

Today, UCS released a new issue brief that examines the performance of gas power plants, finding they can be unreliable, especially during extreme weather events, which are more intense and frequent as a result of climate change. ➡️act.ucsusa.org/3Sc6NIo

Well worth revisiting this evidence for how winter Arctic blasts 🥶 in the northern hemisphere are linked to an Arctic warming faster than the global average temperature. 🌏🌡️ Which by the way just logged the hottest annual global average temperature in 2023.

Wow, strong words here. "Nothing like this has ever happened"... "Most extreme event in North American History". While I can not validate that from my personal experience, it strikes me as unprecedented that 100 US sites in 2 days broke Monthly temp records and some by 10+!
