Homes collapsing into the sea, saltwater inundation of community fresh water systems, land sinking, sunny day flooding at high tide, home values dropping, property becoming uninsurable... These things may not be happening where you are yet, but all of them are happening somewhere now.
Outer Banks houses falling into the ocean are spectacular, but when it comes to the effects of sea-level rise, they’re just the tip of the melting iceberg

Media need to stop selling this false dichotomy too
Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.

Super good column in Bloomberg on the various soft propaganda ways that Big Oil shapes the cultural narrative on fossil fuels into something both manly and deeply romantic in a working class hero way as opposed to, you know, the thing that kills 91,000 Americans a year from air pollution alone.
