Wow, @ReverendWarnock listed Climate as the second issue on his website and ran on clean water and air the whole campaign. In return, young people turned out in droves. If you want to save lives, run on climate justice! If you want to win, run on climate justice!

‘I was arrested for civil disobedience … I turned 82 in jail!’ — Actor and activist Jane Fonda sounding the alarm about the need for ‘bold action’ on the climate crisis. There's no time to wait. This planet is all we've got. Defend it. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate

A thought provoking presentation by my colleague and friend Giulio. Well done! He has eloquently and succinctly captured the theme of many of my novels. @CntrClimSec @YoungH20Leader @WaterTrends #water #climate
Ever wade a river on the way to work? See my @TEDx talk at @TEDxVicenza about our millennial relationship to water. #water #WaterABiography #climate Full video here: youtu.be/J0NFEgFeVkg
Egads! At + 6.42 °C above 1979-2000 climatology, this is the warmest I have ever seen on these charts for the Arctic. @ZLabe @MichaelEMann @KHayhoe @ClimateOfGavin @ProfStrachan

From supercharged storms, to wildfires, to heatwaves, to droughts the climate crisis is all around us. How many more 'historics' before we address the problem? #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #hurricaneian #GreenNewDeal

Opposing offshore windmills in New England. Promoting coal plants in Arizona. This Texas-based group has become one of the leading proponents of fossil fuels, and a major opponent to climate action around the country. nyti.ms/3VWVBhT

Vote to save the planet. Remember who voted for the effort to protect our environment (Inflation Reduction Act democrats.senate.gov/imo/med… ) and those who refused. Make your voice count! #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis

We need wetlands. Wetlands can slow global warming. Wetlands protect us from disaster risks. Wetlands are home to 40% of the world’s species Wetlands are an important source of freshwater. Wetlands help us achieve the #SDGs We cannot achieve #SDG15 without #SDG6

youtu.be/1MZFrJPPIQ8 Read my 2017 novel "Mars' Furnace" for more on the water crisis and climate change. #water #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis @amazon @AmazonKindle
Its astonishing to think that we are in a natural cooling year of a La Nina which has a cooling effect on global temperatures. And yet 2022 has seen most devastating temps droughts on record Imagine what will happen when natural warming event of an El Nino occurs

Great pleasure joining @AJInsideStory @AJEnglish to discuss the current drought. Watch the episode here: youtu.be/LwRVetLTx9A
France’s longest river, the Loire, is running dry due to a 'historic drought'. More than 100 towns don't have access to drinking water. The Loire is also the source of cooling water for 12 nuclear power plants. How many more 'historic events' before we #ActOnClimate? #climate

The White House needs to end the Willow Project and all new leasing in the Gulf of Mexico and in Alaska. They need to send a message that if Manchin isn't going to play ball to invest in clean energy, we must end the fossil fuel era on public lands. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

We have an opportunity to address the climate crisis right now. Senator Manchin’s refusal to act is infuriating. It makes me question why he’s Chair of ENR.
