This is my first winter/spring in North Carolina (triangle area). Daffodils and dogwoods are already blooming, there hasn't been any snow, and it has been in the 60s. In January. Is this normal?

Flying is a bellwether for how society views the climate crisis. If the aviation industry is growing, it means we're still not taking global heating seriously. As soon as society shifts into some kind of emergency mode, policies to rein in flying WILL be put in place.

Many years ago, I started this site to help encourage people who are reducing their flying to tell their stories and to pressure institutions. Some great stories and testimonials there. I'd like to rename it and revamp it but I need help.

If you think this is a valuable project and can volunteer web dev help, please reach out. It's just more than I can do in my limited "free" time. The main task is to change the domain name (I've reserved "flyless . org"). After that, light support work. I will update the text.

Scientists have a key role to play in saving what can still be saved, and I believe scientists should be speaking out and getting into good trouble much more than we are.

Your kids and grandkids will want to know if you got arrested for the climate

I wanted to say that this ^^ wasn't a great tweet. I am well aware that not everyone can risk arrest, and I've said as much publicly many times. The spirit behind the tweet was that, in general, we are being FAR too polite as activists, and taking more risks should be encouraged.

Also, that a lot of people who CAN risk arrest are not yet doing so - and if they did I think it would be huge. In general, we need a lot more climate activism of all kinds, but too much climate activism (like petitions) is too polite and as a result probably not very effective

I am working on projections of extreme humid heat, and hopefully will soon be communicating the results publicly (and refining them over time). They are harrowing. All of this activism MUST be seen in the context of potential for future death and suffering.

When billions of lives are at stake, including the lives of people we love or even our own lives, then yes, risking arrest to try to stop that through nonviolent civil disobedience is probably "worth it" for a lot of us.

We are forecasted to break heat records here in North Carolina over the next few days.

A film by Adam McKay like Vice or The Big Short but about climate scientists and oil execs in the 1970s. Like the climate scientists who worked at Exxon.

It is the scientific consensus that hundreds of millions if not billions of people will be forced to migrate due to climate change within the next few decades. A lot of those people will end up dying. The geopolitics of a billion climate migrants. Let that fucking sink in.

Maybe think of this before you criticize @ultracricket@twitter.com and myself for jumping onto a stage at a climate science conference for 15 seconds, or other climate activists doing other nonviolent actions in a desperate attempt to get people to think about this for even a minute

I can't believe we still haven't ended government subsidies to these guys

In August I moved from LA to North Carolina when my partner got a new job. But for me, it was time to leave. California has become too hot, fiery, aridified, and stormy due to fossil-fueled global heating. It breaks my heart. I came to CA 15 years ago for love of the outdoors.

It is very surreal to me how fast California has changed, and continues to change, due to global heating. This is still just the beginning, unfortunately.

Rose Abramoff (@ultracricket@twitter.com) and I jumped up on a stage at a climate science conference begging our colleagues to speak out. Rose was fired for it.

We are doing everything we can to urge society to address Earth breakdown and we are being censured for it

NEW: In @ScienceMagazine@twitter.com today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.
