This is the world’s first steel made without burning fossil fuels. Steel is a massive emitter so this is hugely important!
We have so many solutions to solve the #climatecrisis. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Yesterday, a M7.0 earthquake struck the Alaska-Canada border, directly beneath the Hubbard Glacier. Aftershocks reveal an unmapped fault in this already complex area.

What happens when a fault offsets a glacier?
Is the glacier named after one of my ancestors?

I zoomed in, added a bit of contrast, and went back and forth over the first few seconds to show how the ground around the vents bulges outward before the lava breaks through and blasts it apart. Remarkable stuff. Nature is neat. #Kilauea

Nothing new to report:
In fact, St Thomas US Virgin Islands, tied its December record of highest temperature with 89F/31.7C.
Record day= day as usual in the USVI.
The big news will be when USVI won't break any record.

Some of the #RisingTide champions arrested are out of police custody and ready for more climate action 💚 We've asked 'nicely' for decades. Disobeying institutions that abuse power to deliberately harm those less powerful is a vital tenant of a healthy democracy.
