Today @POTUS and @VP announced the American Climate Corps — an initiative to train young people for careers that help tackle climate change.
This is an important step forward, and wouldn't be possible without the organizing efforts of young people across the country.

Every "but what about...?" argument against human-caused climate change is already covered by @skepticscience's handy list; so why won't it convince people? Because it's never been about science or facts. It's solution aversion so any excuse that justifies that position will do.

Indeed. We are not as addicted to fossil fuels as some might want you to think. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Hannah Ritchie@_HannahRitchie
A common confusion is that to decarbonise, the world will need to produce the equivalent of coal, oil & gas in the form of low-carbon energy. That's not true. Most fossil energy gets wasted. In the US, just one-third gets turned into useful services. The rest is wasted as heat.

FEMA and Corps of Engineers are focusing on centralized fossil rather than distributed solar + batteries in rebuilding Puerto Rico's fragile grid -- wrong move from climate and environmental justice perspectives, writes @RuthSantiagopr in Sabin Center guest blog.

Here's the best, accessable, review of AMOC science you're likely to see this week:
Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf 🌏 🦣@rahmstorf
Here's a thread in pictures about the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC which is making headlines this week. I've studied this topic since 1991 and will show key data and models & some video. Let's go: observed temperature trend since 1901 from nature.com/articles/nclim… 🧵1/x

A great thread on work led by @MadedduSilvia that we reference A LOT about the electrification potential in the industry sector. Spoiler alert: nearly all industrial heat demand can be electrified.
Jan Rosenow@janrosenow
"Electrification is for buildings and cars but not for industry" we sometimes hear. Not so fast: Research by @PIK_Climate suggests that 78% of Europe's industrial energy demand (excl. feedstocks) is electrifiable with existing tech and up to 99% with tech under development. 🧵

Time for a bit of climate hope.
Solar power is the fastest growing energy technology in history, and wind is not far behind.
This graph shows how rapidly different energy technologies expanded after reaching their first exajoule of energy production, on a logarithmic scale.

This report from New Orleans is consistent with my recent article about the inadequacies of US laws in protecting chemical and waste management facilities from extreme weather events worsened by climate change. bit.ly/3HLEIRA
Tristan Baurick@tristanbaurick
A hurricane could spark a chemical disaster so massive that no corner of New Orleans would be safe. According to the Chalmette Refinery’s Risk Management Plan, an accident could unleash a fast-moving and potentially lethal gas that could reach anywhere in the metro area. (🧵1/7)

Is the impact of wildfire smoke persistent enough to affect agricultural yields too? Have we seen data on that yet from, say, California Central Valley?
Aaron Binkley@agbinkley
This is solar. This is solar on Canadian wildfire smoke. Any questions?
English
Rob Klee retweetledi
Hey media - every single article you write about the wildfire smoke should mention the role of climate change in making the fires worse and causing this. See @capitalweather for how to appropriately discuss this.
Capital Weather Gang@capitalweather
Does climate change have something to with this? Yes. Record heat in Canada has helped fuel the fires. And the fire situation in Canada is unprecedented. 6/ twitter.com/JimTeskeNC9/st…
