RIP #RatanTata: homage from an environmentalist. I mourn his passing and the loss of time when business leaders stood for public good and tolerance of dissent as ideas that we did not know existed downtoearth.org.in/environme…

Preliminary rainfall estimates from NOAA's MRMS puts about half a million folks in Florida (850 square miles) in a 1-100 year Flood event from #Milton.
Some areas even experienced a 1-200 year event.

Well said @shahzadgani. Not short cut solutions. Cloud seeding is a big gimmick.
You wrote well what is right on this issue. I am sure, you may gain a few enemies in the scientific fraternity.
Be bold & speak only truth. We have responsibility to the society. I admire you.

The landslides that killed hundreds of people in Wayanad, northern Kerala were triggered by a burst of rainfall that was made about 10% heavier by climate change 📈🌧️
Until fossil fuels are replaced with renewable energy, downpours will increase, risking more landslides.

Reviewing her new book, I agree with Solomon, the climate crisis is solvable. But her example "solution", waiting for the same industries to find substitutes to make even more money without the slightest change in the status quo, is not how.

Extraordinary heat in CHINA with over 45C in the North and minimums around 30C.
Next days it will be much hotter with hundreds of thousands of square km >40C in the Northern Provinces.
Records have been falling by thousands in China every single month.
Heat wave in northern China continued to escalate today, with 21 stations reaching 40C. Aidinghu reached 44.3C, setting a new national high this year! AWS reached 45.1C. Tomorrow, more than 250,000 Km2 between Beijing and Zhengzhou will reached 40C. @extremetemps
