This #MapMonday from @maps-and-pepper.bsky.social shows the predicted return period of once-in-a-generation storms.

As climate change increases extreme weather events, we need to prepare with accurate risk information.

"This is exactly what we expected to happen," Holmes said. "As the earth gets warmer, we see more extremes and it's the extremes that get us. They kill us. They make us sick."

Quotes from our President, Dr. Max Holmes in this USA Today piece from @dinahvp.bsky.social: share.google/MJOpg6JF39JG...

Late July's oppressive heat forecast isn't normal

A punishing heat wave will bring hot temperatures to eastern US and linger for several days, underscoring how climate change heats things up.

🌡️Have you been feeling the heat this week? Stay informed, hydrated, and safe!

Dangerously hot days are on the rise across the U.S. according to this map from @cmshintani.bsky.social. This week’s extreme temperatures are part of a larger trend of climate change.

For Woodwell’s Dr. Kayla Mathes, community perspectives have driven home the need for fire suppression as a tool to protect people and climate.

Fire suppression in the boreal: "There's too much fire now" - Woodwell Climate

In boreal forests, which are experiencing intensifying fires, fire suppression offers a way to protect both people and carbon-rich permafrost
