Farmers in Jamaica bear the brunt of climate change, colonialism and neo-colonialism.
Developed nations should pay for climate change disasters & pay to build climate adaptation & climate resilience strategies in small island developing states. #Jamaica #climatejustice

I just went to Jamaica where 5 months after hurricane #Beryl many farmers still don’t have a roof. Weeks of heavy rains in Oct. and a second storm in Nov. destroyed crops & livestock again. Results of #climatechange, warn experts. My story.

According to police, Pointe-Claire’s Fairview Mall is a known hotspot for car thefts. Big malls in Montreal are often placed in close proximity to highways. “It’s attractive for thieves to go there to steal cars and have a rapid exit to leave,” said Officer Brabant. #montreal

A farmer walks by rotting vegetables at a farm in the district of Potsdam, St. Elizabeth, #Jamaica in late November. Multiple extreme weather events this year have caused millions of dollars in agricultural losses in the country. Story coming. #climatechange #caribbean #farming

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
A Place of Joy.

Seeing significantly more people wearing masks this holiday season. Smart. Viral infections surge during this time of year due to travel and more time spent indoors. Wearing a masks means avoiding illness and therefore more valuable time spent with loved ones.

Like many places, Frenchman’s Bay restaurant in Treasure Beach, #Jamaica is still struggling post #Beryl. An unusually rainy fall is one reason tourists have largely stayed away from popular areas. Merchants expect things to pick up by the Dec. 15 start to the winter tourist season. #climatechange

A waterfront property most can do without. Constant heavy rains since #Beryl has created new wetlands in Treasure Beach, #Jamaica, changing the biodiversity in some spots. This new pond (next to a road), which connects to another near the sea has attracted new residents - crocodiles! #climatechange

This trip I have asked 3 people playing movies/news/talking on the phone without headphones to wear headphones. Each one seemed genuinely shocked that their noise was disturbing someone. Each one turned their volume off or put on headphones. Small victories in civility.
