#ClimateMatters Climate Week— 📍Spartanburg, SC felt the heat this summer with 42 consecutive days at 90° or above. And in everyday life? Camp rec plans changed, tomatoes dropped blossoms, and emergency cooling shelters opened.

#ClimateMatters Climate Week —Hurricane Helene ploughed thru FL, GA, SC, NC almost 1 year ago. Here in Upstate SC, winds gusted at daybreak, and old oaks whipped, creaked, and -need a new sonic verb- as their root balls ripped from the ground and they toppled.

Thanks for the amazing graphics @climatecentral.org - our Wofford research team used them in interviews and conversation circles this summer as we asked Spartanburg residents to share with us how they are living with a changing climate — and wow, did people have a lot to say!

Charleston: beautiful and facing a rising sea. +10 inches since 1950, with an acceleration to 1 inch every 2 years since 2010. Truly a special place in which to present climate stories shared with @c-sorrell-dinkins.bsky.social and me by people in SC.

Climate leadership is all around us, co-created + cultivated in dialogue and community. Photos from 2024 Climate Week tabling event hosted by the Climate Roots and Resilience learning community at my college in South Carolina.
