since Southern California is trending. My chance to talk about #flooding, #LARain regarding hiow this impacts homelessness.🧵
I'd like to start this thread with the understanding that some people on twitter were at the Rose Parade, camping. 'Trying to stay warm'.
To those whom did, congrats. You experienced a fraction of what the unhoused (about 70k on any given night) exp. #flooding, #LARain

Understand that Gavin @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom Isn't doing anything to protect human life. He is literally treating them like trash. (1/3) #flooding, #LARain
As #sandiego authorizes development in areas that may become prone to #flooding, but they’re not part of current FEMA zones that require flood insurance -people discover that standard homeowners insurance does NOT cover flood damage AFTER events like this

1/17.📜NEW BRIEF:“The Operationalisation of a Fit For Purpose #SantiagoNetwork for #LossAndDamage (#SNLD): An African Perspective”, detailing how the #SNLD must address the needs of those on the frontlines of the #ClimateCrisis in #Africa.

2/17. The brief begins by making it clear that #LossAndDamage from #ClimateChange in a reality today in many African countries, despite the fact that Africa has contributed less than 4% of total carbon emissions.
3/17. Examples of #LossAndDamage in #Africa include:
1⃣ Tropical storm Ana which struck Malawi at the end of January, causing #flooding that resulted in 46 deaths, 152,786 people being displaced and extensive property destruction.

Interesting article on #flooding and infrastructure in Orange County, #Florida wftv.com/news/local/ora…
neighbors (want) "answers about what’s being done to prevent another flood, after their homes went underwater for the second time in five years."
"There’s a $10 million plan that was drafted after Hurricane Irma in 2017 to address flooding...", however, the "county says this plan would still be limited and it wouldn’t prevent the kinds of flood Orlo Vista saw during Ian."

1/ Flood Alert in Japan 🚨
Heavy rainfall, associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Songda, has moved across northern Japan from July 31.
As a result of heavy rains, ICEYE has observed flooding in Hokkaido and Northern Honshu.

2/ Our team continues to take new satellite images and monitor the #flood, as these rains in Japan continue. Yamagata Prefecture and Niigata appear to be the most affected areas so far.
Current data indicates that hundreds of buildings have been impacted.

1. Extreme Heat🌡: Heat waves are deadly⚰. One study attributed more than 1/3 of heat-related deaths to climate change. Future warming could result in an additional 2K - 10K deaths/year in each of 209 U.S. cities. 2/11
Heart attacks & strokes can result from prolonged exposure to heat. The heart has to work harder to pump blood and minerals are lost through sweat. Extreme heat can also worsen pre-existing conditions such as kidney damage, especially for vulnerable populations such as 👴👵. 3/11

Disasters continue to sweep the world. Anthropogenic in nature, exacerbated by #climateCrisis #capitalism and #EcosystemDestruction. The age of disasters is upon us.

I was live on @BBCNews last night talking about the language of #climate change. Here's a thread of short clips. First, I was asked to address what we call it: #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #GlobalWarming Great to talk with @bbcdavideades!
Then we discussed a great term: #GlobalWeirding. Because human-caused #climate disruption is so much more than warming. It's the increased frequency & intensity of #extremeweather #heavyrain #Heatwaves #Wildfires #drought #flooding and more.
I explained why #greenhouse gases or #GHGs are not a great term for the public and why I prefer heat-trapping #pollution - it explains the mechanism.
The first nor’easter of the season may become the third bomb cyclone in a matter of days to affect the continental U.S., and it will usher in miserable conditions. ⛈💨 Check out our thread below to find out more: ⬇️ accuweather.com/en/weather-for…
2. The storm has been categorized as a nor'easter since it will be spreading northeasterly winds along the coast and is the first such storm of the season to impact the region. 💨 accuweather.com/en/winter-weat…
3. Like the "bomb cyclones" in the Pacific this week, the nor'easter could undergo a period of rapid intensification known as bombogenesis: accuweather.com/en/weather-for…
Hey @Grubhub @Grubhub_Care if you can help me find this delivery driver I’ll donate anything I get from media requests to him
Update: I haven’t been able to find this man yet. I think his plastic bag is a generic take out often used for Chinese food (photo attached). If anyone has ideas and/or had delivery around 10:10 near roebling/11th st let me know
I’m going go out on a limb here and say someone in this highlighted area is probably going to get a foot plus of rain tomorrow. Not widespread to be clear but isolated totals 12”+ are definitely reasonable. I’ll explain below👇 #pawx #njwx #ida #rain #flooding
As Ida will be undergoing baroclinic process and transitioning from a tropical depression into a extratropical storm we’ll actually see some similarities to a winter storm. Warm air advection will be playing a part in aiding Frontogenesis tomorrow across the Northeast as…

1/ for the 1st time, #ClimateReport says that human influence on the climate is an established fact. To support this, we show the many consistent lines of evidence showing that the world is warming /FAQ2.2

2/ from FAQ2.2, we know that the climate is changing. The observed warming since 1850 (black) can *only* be explained by human activities (grey: red + blue). Natural causes (green) have had a limited effect
