WHY ARE YOU TAKING CLIMATE PREDICTIONS FROM A RODENT IN PUNXSUTAWNEY AND NOT FROM THE 97% OF CLIMATE SCIENTISTS RINGING THE ALARM BELLS AND DESPERATELY WARNING HUMANITY THAT WE ARE ON THE PRECIPICE OF AN IRREVERSIBLE GLOBAL CATASTROPHE?

@LifeAtPurdue Did the university do any consideration of the increased Carbon emissions this will cause? We need to be flying less. Perhaps we need this for our region, but where is the attempt to balance our immediate convenience and the future of the planet?

The board of trustees on Feb. 2 approved the naming of the university's new airport terminal to be the Amelia Earhart Terminal, recognizing her historic ties to #Purdue. purdue.university/3HLaQp6

People often ask me, "When it comes to climate action, do we need individual actions or systemic change?"
My answer is YES.

An important thread to help us all understand what has been hailed as one of the most important environmental policy decisions in years. TLDR: it's a good thing the Biden administration did, but it's not as good as many have made it out to be.

There’s a lot of misinformation floating around about Biden's recent decision on LNG. It's coming from both sides of the political aisle, which are exaggerating the impact of Biden's decision to try to rile up their voter bases. Here's how to understand it without the spin🧵

Climate group asks Purdue to reduce emissions purdueexponent.org/campus/article… via @purdueexponent
English
Depressing stat of the day: in fiscal year 2022, the emissions created in order to power campus at @LifeAtPurdue resulted in 11 metric tons of CO2/person. And yet Purdue has no serious plans to reduce their carbon footprint.

This warms the heart!

WATCH! New Jersey just blew up its last coal fired power planet. It will build storage for renewable energy instead. These are the transitions we need to see in 2023: buff.ly/3WHlxyz We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

Last night, we had a great call-out, gathering together over 50 students who want to get involved with our efforts to convince @LifeAtPurdue to decarbonize. It was inspiring, and we have great energy going forward. Join us!

@PurdueToday @PurdueAeroAstro @blueorigin @LifeAtPurdue Amazing. @LifeAtPurdue keeps on impressing with its faculty-driven innovations. But why is the university silent on decarbonizing???? 🤷
English
.@PurdueAeroAstro professor Steven Collicott’s course launched an experiment aboard a @blueorigin rocket Dec. 19. The experiment ran for several years in his course, and many @LifeAtPurdue students — some now alumni — worked on it. purdue.university/47aSLen

@mzjacobson And universities should be leading the way, since they are innovation and thought leaders. Sadly and embarrassingly, @LifeAtPurdue has no decarbonization plans
English
Given the world is already producing ~10% of the #WindWaterSolar electricity needed to power the entire world for all purposes w/ #WWS electricity, we should spend our entire efforts on electrifying & providing the rest with WWS
Not CCS, DAC, blue H2, SMRs or other useless techs
Mark Z. Jacobson@mzjacobson
In other words, we need ~10x the #WindWaterSolar installed today to address global warming & 7.4 mil air pollution deaths/y & energy security World electricity generated by #WWS in 2021 (7,400 TWh)=~9.8% all end-use energy needed in 2050 upon full electrification of all energy

An essential read: Yes, change needs to happen at the top, but on the local level, we can effect change, as well. That's what we're trying to do at @lifeatpurdue.
