"But a wave that strikes a seawall never breaks and dissipates, as it would on a beach; instead, it bounces off like an echo, its destructive force intact." @NewYorker's @ByDanielAGross on the hubris of #seawalls in the fight against #climatechange buff.ly/47hlIFM
Happening now! @sprothero on @WCAI_NPR in conversation with Mindy Todd on The Point, talking about #spiritualbutnotreligious, #drugs, the link between seeking for #God and #capitalism.

Local love to these excellent books by @ElizabethaRush @JeffSharlet & @TamarHaspel prominently featured at Sturgis library, where we also just scored a first edition Silent Spring by Rachel Carson at their book sale. If only @sprothero would let me open it. ;)

From stories about using wind to power cargo ships to about reducing food waste, this week of stories from NPR & member stations on climate solutions gives me hope. Huge thanks to the visionaries, editors and reporters @NPR who made this week possible! npr.org/series/1199537689/cl…
Thanks, @KHayhoe, for summing up the @Pontifex's new encyclical on the #climatecrisis. Check out her 🧵. @ReligionEnviro
Today, @pontifex released Laudato Deum, an update on the 2015 encyclical. It's not so much a breath of fresh air as it is a bucket of ice water, straight to the face of those who are standing in the way of and delaying climate progress. Here are a few highlights:

Happy to be included in @jruwitch 's @NPR story on sponge cities. The scale at which we've interfered with the water cycle is astounding. Up to 87% of wetlands drained, urban pavement doubled just since 1992. Sponge cities works, if at comparable scale. npr.org/2023/10/03/120225210…

Last week, NYC hosted Climate week. Today, it’s underwater. Every day, it's becoming more obvious: Climate change isn't a far-off threat - it's impacting us right here, right now. #NYCFlood

NYC 3 months apart. The climate crisis will manifest in hundreds of ways and we need to be ready
This conversation with @torystephens of @grist & one of my fave librarians, @CoreyFarrenkopf, is delightful and necessary: how to wildly imagine a better future into existence through storytelling. #climatecrisis, @BlueLibrarians #clifi
