When Hurricane Ida hit the 200-year-old Fairmount Water Works in 2021, it forced a reckoning about what this iconic landmark must do if it wants to survive another century. insideclimatenews.org/news/0102202...

“I don’t know how to do this.” @emorwee.bsky.social grapples with what it means to try to keep audiences’ attention turned “toward the horizon,” while watching so much violence, both in the US and abroad, flash across her computer screen.

This week, the Hague District Court ordered the Netherlands govt. to create a plan to mitigate the effects of climate change for the Caribbean island Bonaire. The Netherlands must also set binding targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions in line with the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement.

What will you learn at the CCNow Academy? A thread 🧵...

Millions of people around the world will soon be cheering on their favorite teams and athletes during the 2026 Winter Olympics. Besides being one of the best-loved sporting events on Earth, both the Winter and Summer Olympics are deeply impacted by climate change.

Wrote myself a pep talk to get back to work tomorrow. It helped me. Hope it helps you.

"The relative fragility of Trump’s assault on bedrock environmental and climate laws could be a product of the president’s prioritization of political dominance over lasting change." Great and surprisingly encouraging piece by @zteirstein.bsky.social for @grist.org grist.org/politics/how...

The struggle for democracy — in the streets of Minneapolis, Teheran, and beyond — is but one high-profile issue with a strong climate change connection. Greenland, Venezuela, and Iran possess sizable amounts of oil whose burning could push Earth’s climate past catastrophic tipping points.

Coal-generated power has fallen for the first time in 52 years in India and China, indicating that coal usage in both countries might peak before 2030. Despite energy use increasing, renewable energy sources made up the difference. By @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social for @carbonbrief.org

Greenland, which US president Donald Trump has set his sights on acquiring, is in the fastest warming region of the world, the Arctic. There, melting ice is opening up shipping routes and making access to critical minerals and fossil fuels easier. By @mplanelles.bsky.social for @elpais.com
