Texas battling over 170 wildfires
Over the past week, wildfires have burned over 100,000 acres across the US state.
GISCorps volunteer Michael Georgalas worked with @ClimateCost to develop an Esri StoryMap highlighting findings from the Climate Impact Census report to share with Horry County, South Carolina community members. Read more: giscorps.org/climate_cost_p… #GISforGood #GIS #ArcGIS #AGO
To build #coastalresiliance, we must first understand our vulnerabilities. So, spead the word on the effects of #climatechange within your community, sign petitions, share news on facebook and join local organizations!

Floods are getting worse, and the number of people exposed is 10 times higher than previously...
The population exposed to flooding since 2000 is 10 times higher than previous estimates, as more people migrate into flood-prone areas.
#Climatechange is happening now! And is affecting the livlihoods and welfare of American citizens. Act now, and become part of the #sustainable solution!
#Rainfall predicted to increase by 30% by the end of the 21st century @NWF What can you do? Build #communityresilience to be prepared for rain, and help to reverse the effects of #climatechange by reducing your carbon foot print.
It goes without saying that #climatechange is detrimental to our #environment. But climate change will also bring serious consequences for people’s #health. Ask yourself: what are you doing today to help combat climate change?
There are countless health implications associated with toxic waste plants, such as cancer, asthma, degraded cardiac function and high blood pressure. #ClimateChange can make these worse - increased temperature traps pollutants closer to the ground, worsening breathing.
We must strive for intersectional environmentalism, and dismantle racism in the climate movement! #BLM #blacklivesmatter #environmentaljustice
Crews are actively addressing flooding issues in our stations. We’ve hardened stations in coastal flooding zones, but when streets above flood, water will always flow downhill. Please be safe and do not enter flooded stations while our crews work to resolve this.
Flooding was spotted both inside, and above, the 157th Street subway station in #WashingtonHeights earlier today as severe storms move through. Video: @Noxluc Keep track of the weather here: ny1.com/weather
Buckle up! @NWF suggests that maximum wind speeds of #tropicalstorms are expected to rise by 11% by the end of the 21st century. What does this mean? An even greater rise in flood-related damage to properties, water systems and #flood-related illness.

Canada, US heat wave 'on steroids' due to climate change, say experts
The western United States and Canada would likely have experienced a heat wave in the past week even without climate change. But the scale and severity of the record-breaking temperatures were...
#Climatechange and #racialinequality come hand in hand. We need more protection against toxic waste pollution, and this needs to be distributed equally. #Intersectionalenvironmental
This is effectively a climate tax *you're already paying*. And instead of paying it to the gov't, who use it for the benefit of society, you're paying this tax to energy executives who use it to pay for IMAX theaters for their mega-yachts.
So if you want to cool your house to 75°F and the outside temperature increases from 95°F to 98°F, that *small* change means you need a factor of 23^2/20^2 = 1.3x more energy to cool. That's 30%. This could correspond to tens of dollars each month in increased electricity costs.
You might ask, who cares. For starters, your wallet. The energy needed to cool your house goes approximately as ∆T^2, where ∆T is the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house.
So this means we've had about 1.5°C of summertime warming (2.7°F). This obviously depends on exactly where you are, so YMMV. If it was 95°F where you live before global warming, then it's 98°F now.
