GREAT NEWS: DC passed a law requiring new buildings to be all-electric beginning in 2026! #AllElectricBuildings #GasFreeDC ieefa.org/articles/us-ca…
Climate change can impact the frequency and severity of storms. CT has seen a yearly increase of 38% in precipitation and has experienced a multitude of worsening storms. In 2018, CT saw ten tornados, which were once rare in the state. portal.ct.gov/-/media/DEEP/e…
Floods have caused widespread devastation in rural communities and at least two dozen deaths in eastern Kentucky. “Five to six minutes and it was gone,” Eunice Howard, a flood victim in Hazard, Kentucky, said, standing beside her wrecked house. nyti.ms/3ORJxKP
Sea level rise is a major concern for CT residents on the shoreline. Over the last century, the sea level has risen 0.8 feet in New London, CT. It is estimated that CT will experience over 3.3 feet of sea level rise by 2100. geo.umass.edu/climate/stateC…
The Inflation Reduction Act is the single-largest investment in climate action in U.S. history. It's the bill our planet and communities deserve and need. Let's pass this bill and finally #GetClimateDone⚡️👏
Did you know that by the end of the century, CT summers may feel like a typical summer in present day South Carolina? In the next 50–60 years, the average summer temperatures in CT are projected to increase by over 5°F. geo.umass.edu/climate/stateC…

Did you know that climate change can increase the number of ticks and mosquitoes? It is projected that by 2065–2080, the Lyme disease season will begin 1.5 weeks earlier compared to 1992–2007. Here are some tips on how to deal with the increasing number of ticks: @CCHYale
There's still time to join TONIGHT! July 27, 7 PM, for a community conversation on #ClimateChange! We'll be in person at @WWMLibrary in #Branford. @esdhd @BranfordPatch 🌎wwml.org/events/climate…
Connecticut holds the highest retail electricity price in the continental US & has among the highest overall energy costs in the country. On average, a CT household spends 11.8% of its income on energy, but low-income residents may spend 7x more than the state average!
People with respiratory sensitivities or illnesses - take extra caution on 27 July, as ozone levels will be elevated across the state.
⚠@CTDEEPNews is expecting very warm weather on Weds, which will contribute to elevated ozone levels across western CT. These levels may approach or exceed Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) levels for parts of CT on July 27, 2022. 👉Read more: portal.ct.gov/DEEP/News-Rele…
Did you know that the aviation industry is responsible for about 5% of carbon emissions? This is due to their reliance on jet fuel derived from crude oil. The EU's SUN-to-LIQUID project is developing a carbon-neutral form of jet fuel. @solarfuels sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/…

Will power companies be able to keep up with the high demand due to the rising heat? Wichita Falls, Texas reached a high of 115°F on July 20th. “The electric load is high,” says Thomas Overbye, a professor of engineering at Texas A&M University. npr.org/2022/07/22/111…
With temperatures on the rise, make sure you can recognize the signs and symptoms of heat stroke.
Why is heat in the UK such a big deal? Because, the houses are not built for this kind of heat. Thankfully, citizens are coming up with ways to combat it. @metoffice npr.org/2022/07/18/111…
The Connecticut Clean Air Act is a historic law that gives our state valuable tools to reduce GHG emissions from transportation, and is yet another example of CT leading on climate, something our state has done for two decades.
London is on its way to becoming hotter than places like Western Sahara and the Caribbean. “Even as a climate scientist who studies this stuff, this is scary” says Hannah Cloke, a natural hazards researcher. @metoffice npr.org/2022/07/18/111…
A picture is worth a thousand words. America is segregated, and so is pollution. This is not rocket science. The forces that drive pollution toward people of color is political science. No industry has the right to poison us. It's time for environmental and climate justice.
