Climate change makes hurricanes worse
katharinehayhoe.com Katharine Hayhoe @katharinehayhoe.com · 15d
Hurricane Melissa could be one of the most worst hurricanes on record for Jamaica...and it's a textbook example of how climate change is making hurricanes more dangerous: explosive intensification, slow movement, and massive rainfall.

If you know any there, please make sure they’re prepared 🙏

People always ask me: what makes Montreal so ambitious on urbanism? (At least for bikes and pedestrians.)

I've been thinking through this and asking Montrealers, and in this video I want to cover *part* of the answer.

Glad to see dozens of students at Vassar decarbonizing NYC this morning in @jeffsseidman.bsky.social's class.
We can do this for any city, and now we have 1000 sets to distribute for New York. Ideas welcome!
#PlayEnergetic
A roomful of college students playing a cooperative board game, Energetic, in which an activist, a politician, an entrepreneur, and an engineer team up to build a zero carbon energy supply for NYC by 2040. In this updated version, you begin in 2026, and you can't build offshore wind till 2029, and then only if you win the 2028 election. You do, however, start the game with 1 GW already complete, thanks to the Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line. So you only have to build 15 more GW to power NYC's heat pumps in 2040.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.
