Incredible day of community engagement for @UVic’s Coastal Climate Solutions Leaders re: Designing a Climate Smart Neighbourhood for the new Ian Stewart Complex. Tx to Saanich, CRD, and Victoria planners, city council members and developers! So many ideas, such great energy!

This is (part of) what we mean when we say that #climatechange is an everything issue: Climate breakdown will hit global growth by a third, say central banks theguardian.com/business/202…

Climate breakdown will hit global growth by a third, say central banks

New modelling finds risk to global economies much worse than previously thought, but group of central banks says even this may be an underestimate

Optimism, hope, courage for climate action needed more than ever.
Jan Rosenow@janrosenow9 Nov 2024
Pessimists sound clever. Optimists change the world. I love this depiction of the energy transition by RMI.

In 2022, global fossil fuel subsidies were $7 trillion or the equivalent of 7.1% of global gross domestic product (GDP). We effectively PAY oil and gas companies $7trillion every year to create this kind of damage and suffering ....but we can't afford to reduce emissions? 🧐

"Most mini trucks have the same roughly 6-foot bed size as the F-150." They're cheap, don't pollute much, and great for farm work. Now there's something Ford and GMC *definitely* don't want you to know. abc12.com/the-new-hot-truck-…

"The right tool for the job..." isn't always a big-ass honking pick-up. Picking up groceries with an F-150 is like... Cracking nuts with a sledgehammer or Making toast with a flamethrower. 6 out of 10 trips are under 5 miles; usually a smaller vehicle will do...

Here is a bike lane, fall trees, e-bike, and turkey dinner for 18 people. What’s not here is a 6,000lb SUV to pickup 25lbs of food supplies. I’m thankful for the leadership of ppl before me that helped build the foundations of a compact, bikeable city that we all get to enjoy 🙏🏽

"As climate change increasingly fuels storms like Milton, he says, it’s been harder to stay calm and collected” -Let’s normalize emotional reactions to climate change disasters, by men and women. We’re human and this is tremendously difficult stuff.

I’ve been a meteorologist for 40 years. Here's why I got emotional about Hurricane Milton.

"With climate-driven extremes putting us in a place that we haven't been before, it's very difficult to stay cool, calm, and collected."
