💔Climate change is melting our relationship with chocolate 🍫 In 2024 alone, human-caused climate change added 6 extra weeks of heat stress above the ideal temperature in many cacao-growing regions. More from a new Climate Central attribution science report ⤵️ www.youtube.com/shorts/eyKOk...

Its okay to be upset with this. But dont just let it take from you. Make it give. #comic #animalart #newnormal

I am so heartened to see the thriving climate community over here— about two months ago I was kicked out of Twitter with no explanation It is clear that suppression of climate science and communication is on the rise, I will tell everyone I know to join BlueSky for climate 🙌

This week, we are sharing a special bonus episode on A Matter of Degrees from Boiling Point, a new podcast from the @latimes.com & hosted by @sammyroth.bsky.social. This episode is about the recent wildfires in LA & what they mean for the city’s future: degreespod.com/episodes/bonus-boiling-point.

Great 1-min explanation by @weatherprof.bsky.social on why CA fires are getting worse each year due to climate change.

Fascinating to see Mastodon also going for the non profit management direction. I guess we can thank Elon & Zuc for one thing—making it abundantly clear how absolutely utterly rubbish & dangerous billionaire profit seeking control of social media is. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

For SoCal friends, Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can. For more info, visit Instagram: mutualaidla

L.A. peeps- begging you to prep even if far from fire perimeter. Please make sure you have water bottles filled up, respirator (n95 &c) masks, power supply & Rx meds, medical devices, glasses/contacts, energy bars or the like, pet food, clean clothes for you & those you care for ready in a go bag.

How to protect your health from wildfire smoke: Evacuate if active fire is too close Wear a high quality mask with headstraps; N95s are great, P100s are most protective Stay indoors, and close your windows and doors Run air purifiers on high to filter smoke that seeps inside

Another great thread by Katharine on how engagement changed over time on different platforms

I compared 22 identical climate-related posts on Threads vs Bluesky over the last 3 months, and the difference is shocking. Normalized engagement on Threads dropped nearly 2/3 + my following dropped, while Bluesky engagement held steady + following quadrupled. What’s driving this? Read on! 🧵

'The Arctic – “the icy region at the top of the world” – is no longer a carbon sink. It’s now a carbon source. The overheating planet is melting regions of permafrost, which are releasing CO2. We have entered uncharted territory.' insideclimatenews.org/news/1112202...

Try to not let one cruel voice drown out a dozen kind ones.

🚨 New preprint 🚨 Are climate scientists less trusted than scientists in general? 🤔🌍 Yes, we find evidence of a significant trust gap between climate scientists and scientists in general. 👇🧵 osf.io/preprints/os...

A great 🧵 on all the different starter packs in the #climate space. Check it out!

Livestock emissions are red Crop emissions are blue We're going to need to reduce emissions from food systems To stay within 1.5°C or even 2°
