The prompt for day 12 of the #30DayMapChallenge is a "map from 2125", and this one *almost* fits that description! This shows the areas of Scotland likely to be affected by coastal erosion by 2100 🗺️

Map of Scotland with white areas around the coast highlighted. White areas are around most of the coast, though Orkney looks especially affected.

Do we need a Category 6 hurricane - or even a complete redo of the Saffir-Simpson scale?

I spoke with @michaelemann.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @climatecentral.org @danielgilford.bsky.social to learn more.

@the-independent.com
Category 6 is the new hurricane normal, say scientists
Human-caused climate change is making major hurricanes like Melissa much stronger, faster and ultimately more life-threatening

In 2018, Meta decided “clean energy” and “climate change” were politically sensitive topics, and demanded that I - a climate scientist - register as a political org to post and boost posts on them.

I refused, and my page has been shadow banned since then. For 7 years. Until this week, that is 😳

These saplings seem fine. It feels relatively calm just now. You wouldn't think there was more high winds forecast for later. So there's lots of people here. #StormAmy #Edinburgh

Rest of Inverleith Park not much damage for now. Just a few branches down. Might be worth closing the gates though.

RBGE gardens currently closed to visitors because of #StormAmy . I hear they've sadly had damage to glass panes in some glasshouses, not the Palm House. And a couple of trees damaged too. And more high winds still expected! Be careful out there people! ⛈️🌀 #Edinburgh

The Government will be testing the emergency alert system this Sunday at 3pm. Compatible mobile phones and tablets will make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. If you have a device hidden from an abuser, this alert could reveal it. You can opt out using the advice below. www.gov.uk/alerts/optin...

Smart cities know that, as hot as they already are, they’re just going to keep getting hotter. Greening the city not only cools it down, it cleans the air, quiets the noise, improves mental health & happiness, saves public money, & more. Strand Aldwych, London. 2021 vs. 2025. Via @modacitylife.com
