If you’re looking for a book that can help inform your personal choices to prepare for the future of climate change in the U.S., "On the Move" by @AbrahmL is the best one I’ve seen yet. I have a 2-part review on the book; part 2 (tomorrow) looks at his case study of climate migration to Atlanta.

My latest post summarizes March 2024, the planet’s 10th consecutive warmest month on record. Remarkable that 5 nations/territories set an all-time heat record for any month, and an additional 24 set an all-time March heat record.

Not good, folks: We just had the warmest U.S. winter on record. As @bhensonweather.bsky.social writes, "Snow cover was scarce, the Great Lakes were mostly ice-free, and a million-acre wildfire tore across Texas."

Detroit (73°), Flint (74°), and Saginaw (74°) all had their hottest winter day on record today, breaking their previous records by an unusually large margin: 3°, 4°, and 6°, respectively. Tragically, I got my first-ever February Michigan mosquito bite! A harbinger of the future.

Potentially on the chopping block: "President Joe Biden’s crowning legislative achievement was enacting the Inflation Reduction Act, easily the nation’s largest investment into addressing the rising dangers of climate change."

Along with an overall dearth of U.S. snowfall – thanks largely to El Niño atop longer-term warming – this year has seen some truly odd winter storms, including heavy rain along Colorado's Front Range in early February (!?!)

It depends. Got this from the author of the article: "some sessions are restricted by geography and the session pages themselves indicate that at the top. Most of them appear to be non-restricted."

Real bicycle infrastructure--like PROTECTED bike lanes--makes a world of difference when it comes to cycling as transportation rather than just a means of exercise or relaxation.

Commuted to the office today on my e-bike, which made the ride fast and easy. I felt safe because of the protected bike lanes on the route between my home and office. I passed a bus on the way and didn't inhale tailpipe fumes because it was an all-electric bus. More of this, please!

The projected decline in snowpack and thus runoff into reservoirs is stunning and scary by mid-late century. In the orange and red snowpack thins to almost nothing in just a few decades. Think about the water woes/ wildfire threat this brings. More here: www.wfla.com/weather/clim...
