An ongoing eruption at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano unleashed spectacular lava fountains that towered an astonishing 1,300 feet into the air — as high as New York's Empire State Building.

Ever tried walking your city and thought: ‘Where can I even sit down?’ @heigit.org's #hiWalk just added a feature that maps benches + another one for water fountains. Good for the elderly, good for everyone. Because #walkable cities = #livable cities

‘I would not feel safe’: Americans on the sorrow – and relief – of leaving Trump’s US for Europe

Die SZ berichtet heute über einen klimapolitischen Wahnsinnsmove der Bundesregierung. Sie will möglich machen, europäische Strafzahlungen wegen zu wenig Klimaschutz aus dem Topf zu bezahlen, der Klimaschutz finanzieren soll. Wodurch weniger Geld für Klimaschutz da wäre.

In an effort to shrink the federal government, President Trump and congressional Republicans have taken steps that are diluting the country’s ability to anticipate, prepare for and respond to catastrophic flooding and other extreme weather events, disaster experts say.

An analysis in Communications Earth & Environment shows that new forests larger than the land area of North America would need to be planted to offset the potential carbon dioxide emissions from the fossil fuel reserves currently held by the world’s 200 largest fossil fuels companies. 🧪

Terrifying stuff. Sharp decline in insect numbers tied to global heating. They are at the base of ecosystems and their decline will reverberate upwards. The fact that this is probably going to happen in my life time. We really need to stop burning fossil fuels today!

Eine tolle Kooperation, die viel Spaß macht, bei der ich schon sehr viel gelernt habe - und die in einem nützlichen Produkt resultiert. Der Climate Action Navigator ist bereits online, mehr Infos gibts bei @heigit.org oder heigit.org/climate-acti...
