After a number of street design experiments in the 1970s, the Dutch came to an important conclusion in Delft: The only way to permanently increase cycling is build a dense network of high quality infrastructure, within reach of every home and destination: aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2008/09/grid.h…

“The seas are just so incredibly, incredibly hot. Record hot, as you might imagine. You know what’s driving that. I don’t need to tell you. Global warming, climate change, leading to this. And becoming an increasing threat.”

Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime. In the 1970s, Exxon scientists predicted global warming with “shocking accuracy,” but the company went on to spend millions lobbying against climate action. Now we’re all paying the price.

Think about space and geometry. Picture the street if all these people were each driving a car. #Paris People riding bikes make cities work better for everyone, including drivers.

Florida should look at Vermont, which just passed a bill that forces oil and gas companies to pay billions into a “Climate Superfund” to update infrastructure and respond to disasters. #MakePollutersPay

As millions brace for Milton, reminder that Big Oil was making business decisions *35 years ago* -- like raising their offshore drilling platforms -- to account for the sea level rise they knew was coming, all while telling the public that climate change was a hoax.

"I apologise, this is just horrific...and you know what's driving this, I don't need to tell you. Global warming, climate change." John Morales giving a sobering update about Hurricane Milton on NBC. When meteorologists start crying on TV, you know things are bad.

Warm ocean waters due to human-caused climate change helped fuel Hurricane #Milton to become a powerful Category 5 storm. Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico were well above average for this time of year as Milton churned toward Florida. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/153429/…

Over 40 years ago, Exxon's top scientists internally warned the company that climate change could lead to "catastrophic" weather events. Now those fossil-fueled catastrophes are playing out before our eyes. heated.world/p/how-fossil-f…

I can't believe the American Petroleum Institute, which has spent hundreds of millions lobbying against climate action, has the audacity to put up a "hurricane resources" page. You know what would be helpful? Stop lying and pay for the damage you've done.

New World Weather Attribution study finds #Milton’s rainfall was made 20-30% more intense by Climate Change, the intensity of rain made 2X more likely. The storm made 10% more intense and storms of a similar intensity now have a 40% greater likelihood of occurring. worldweatherattribution.org/yet-another-hu…
