“Zombie” wildfires that smoldered over winter from last year’s blazing Canadian fire season have now started reigniting — spewing record emissions for so early in the year, ⁦@CopernicusEU⁩ reports. https://t.co/k6wNsdq5CU

The world’s greenhouse gas output continues to soar, new ⁦@NOAA⁩ report shows. CO2 levels averaged a record 419 ppm last year, while methane topped 1922 ppb. #greenhousegas #globalwarming #climatechange https://t.co/1T5kxo8gHo

In the warming Arctic, tiny Svalbard reindeer are enjoying a “Goldilocks” moment. For now… My latest, for Smithsonian Magazine: https://t.co/bHCapJbmYN @smithsonianmag

Flying between Europe and North America this summer? It could be a very rough ride. The skies are growing noticeably bumpier as the atmosphere warms, new study shows, with dangerous “clear-air turbulence” up 55% over the North Atlantic since 1979. ⁦⁦ https://t.co/hnXGj0slYy https://t.co/1WBHmg5irE

Now that the #Covid *emergency* is supposedly over, I’ve just gotten Covid for the 1st time. Tests and stuff are no longer free, insurance covers little if anything — and they cost a lot! Who else is in that boat? (Don’t cough too hard, or we’ll capsize…)

Iceland’s puffin population has dropped a whopping 70% in past 30 years — nearly double previous estimates. Ocean warming largely to blame. But hunting has also taken a big toll, @ErpurHansen⁩ reports. #puffins #seabirds #Iceland #ClimateChange https://t.co/D5e6X8n4Mg

“Puffins, puffins” to the tune of Mary Poppins’ “Tuppence” — I love it! Thanks for the happy earworm, @baoyuan!

This ⁦@SmithsonianMag⁩ cover story by ⁦@ckatz99⁩ is beautiful all the way to the end: Icelandic Town Goes All Out to Save Baby Puffins. I know Mary Poppins sings "tuppence," but "puffins, puffins" conjures same sentiment https://t.co/wsljXFbvjJ https://t.co/5ZdeNeZqN0

Involving citizens in setting #climate policy can quash public feelings of helplessness about the #ClimateCrisis, and spur shared responsibility for urgent action. If honed, California’s direct democracy system provides some critical tools. https://t.co/jys4EUv4km

Weak political will and muscle-bound special interests are holding governments back from taking the actions needed to truly fight #ClimateChange. Direct democracy—empowering voters to enact #climate policy themselves—could give a powerful alternative. https://t.co/jys4EUv4km
