By the early 20th century there was an unofficial race to capture a photograph of Lhasa, the religious center of Tibet.
In 1905 National Geographic printed a few of the first photos of the region and a decade later, in 1916, published a large panoramic insert of Lhasa's Potala Palace. 🧵

Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead.

Winter isn't what it used to be.
It's actually the fastest-warming season for much of the U.S.
Since just 1970, winters (December - February) have warmed in 98% of 244 U.S. cities analyzed by 3.9°F on average.
