What if neighbours worked together to make solar, battery backup, and home electrification easier and more affordable? I'm exploring a community-led model for Ottawa that focuses on transparency, resilience, and reducing costs through neighbourhood-scale adoption. No sales pitches. No exclusive vendors. Just neighbours helping neighbours make informed decisions. https://mgifford.github.io/neighbourhood-solar/ #Ottawa #SolarEnergy #ClimateAction #EnergyResilience #OpenSource

Gizmodo: ‘This Is Absolutely Crazy’: Antarctic Temperatures Hit a Record High This Month https://gizmodo.com/this-is-absolutely-crazy-antarctic-temperatures-hit-a-record-high-this-month-2000771232 This is bad news. This is evidence of #ClimateChange . The longer we as a #HumanFamily take to seriously address this #problem, the more drastic remidiation efforts will be required. #wakeup #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #ClimateEmergency #ClimateScience #ClimateDenial

The last time I used twitter was in Oct 2022. #Musk had completed his purchase of the platform and I realised it wasn’t a place I wished to be anymore… It no longer served the purpose that it had done for me - a place where those intent upon #ClimateAction could meet and share information in a positive and constructive manner. I was curious about this thing called ‘Mastodon’…so I joined and I have zero regrets. The conversations, information & support here have been invaluable. Thank you!

"Disobey with money & data" "#AI and the banks which finance fossil fuels and heavy carbon technology are wrecking our climate and our future. But by acting collectively we can challenge these systems and end their dominance. Join #XRUK’s third #Disobey talk on Wednesday, June 10th, 6-7pm, to discover practical steps we can take against internet and financial giants. We’ll begin by exploring how our money and our data are currently being used to sustain harmful systems. Sam Price, from Switched and the Better Bank campaign will share a roadmap for ditching climate criminal banks and switching to ethical alternatives. Learn how moving your money is a powerful act of disobedience that disrupts the flow of capital to destructive industries. Dylan Orchard, a PhD researcher specialising in everyday resistance, will describe how we can resist AI impositions in our daily lives. From navigating algorithmic bias in education to avoiding fake chatbots, he will share effective tactics to reclaim our agency from AI dominance. Learn how to withdraw your funding and your data - and join the shift away from AI and financial exploitation." https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/disobey-talk-series #ExtinctionRebellion #XR #Activism #ClimateAction

The thermometer stopped lying. The WMO now puts the odds at 91% that we breach 1.5°C between 2026 and 2030, with an 86% chance one of those years tops every record on file. This isn't nature misbehaving. It's the machinery that bet the planet's thermostat on a quarterly return. https://twp.ai/4hqgeN #ClimateCrisis #Climate #WMO #ClimateChange #Divest #ClimateAction #Environment #GlobalWarming #EcoJustice #News

"NO TO BIG TECH Big Tech companies fuel inequality, damage the climate, target children, and threaten democracy. We need to act collectively to end their dominance. 🗓 Wed 13 May 18:00-19:00 Join XRUK’s second Disobey talk with Matt Tutt and Kimwei McCarthy to discover what steps we can take to challenge internet giants. ➡️ Register here: https://xrb.link/s2pJs5i0 Part of the new 'Disobey' talk series by XRUK - watch the first talk on YouTube here: https://xrb.link/kz6bH34Zzq " It's a bit ironic they're using zoom when there's other choices 😡, but I'm going to see what it's like... #DigitalSovereignty #DigitalRights #TechSovereignty #XR #ExtinctionRebellion #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction

Unspeakable #climateviolence wreaked on the poor by the wealthy - we must take #climateaction seriously. #UKPolitics have shrinking global meaning but still matter - overnights aren't great, but holding on for today's counts #thinkglobalactlocal @thegreenparty https://aje.news/x96elx

Amsterdam just banned fossil fuel and meat ads in public spaces. On May Day. First capital city to do it. The legal model exists — push your council. https://twp.ai/9OUtCF #ClimateAction #Amsterdam #MayDay #ClimateJustice #FossilFree #Environment #Activism

Australian and Aussie-adjacent pals, I've just heard the AYCC is at risk of folding. They have an urgent fund appeal open right now (linked below). The Australian Youth Climate Coalition has been running for 20 years (!!), they specialise in mobilising the youth for climate action. I know so many people who've done a stint volunteering with the AYCC (including me, nearly 20 yrs ago...). It would be a huge shame if they were to fold. I swung them a melba, consider making a donation, too? https://emergencyappeal2026.raiselysite.com/ #AYCC #ClimateAction #AusPol #Fundraising

40% of every calorie the U.S. grows rots in a landfill. Methane 80x more potent than CO2. https://twp.ai/E59yDA composting alone could equal taking 15 MILLION cars off the road for 30 years. The supermarket's aesthetic standard. The planet's bill. Today's Daily Gathering — plate, apothecary, politics of rot: #ClimateAction #FoodWaste #Composting #Sustainabilityhttps://twp.ai/9OUj16

It's a very short boat ride the one from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia. But it's really a springboard from the globalised, motorised, and carbonised part of the world to the Global South. I have already travelled about 14,000km to come here without taking airplanes and I truly savour the crossing of this physical but most importantly cultural boundary between North and South. The taxi that takes me to the embarkment to Jakarta travels through bumpy roads, which turn into dirt road at the very access to the Pelni (the Indonesian national ferry company) departure point. I am torn between accepting the offer of porters to carry my luggage or carrying it myself. It's little money for me and a lot of money for them. I opt for carrying it myself, as I am short of Indonesian cash and I perceive porters' requests as bordering extortion. I travel 3rd class, because I want to stay as close as possible to the travelling conditions of most travellers. I get a bed in one of the many sleeping halls provided on the ship. A mattress is provided, although it's better not to think of the last time it has been washed. I must say sleeping is hard. People talk loudly throughout the night and kids cry loud. However, I am so tired that I sleep tight. As usual, I am woken up at 4am by the call to the Islamic morning prayer. #RefuseToFly #Slowtravel #Decarbonise #ClimateAction #StrictlyPublicTransport #researcherlife #researcher #Singapore #Indonesia #Batam #FerryTravel #Pelni

I am very proud of my newly bought solar power generator and I use it straightaway on my makeshift office space at the upper deck of the ship taking me to Jakarta. The sunset over the Java sea is, however, a big distraction for my overdue essay...

They promised climate action for years, but what these meat and dairy giants were really selling was something else https://phys.org/news/2026-04-climate-action-years-meat-dairy.html #AnimalRights #meat #dairy #climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction #GoVegan

It is a common belief that higher elevations are naturally cooler. In pristine landscapes, this rule holds firm. But what about urban environments? Humanity moves vast amounts of matter and energy, sometimes fundamentally altering the thermodynamic parameters of our habitat. 🛰️ I correlated summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) data across Calgary’s neighborhoods with the Canadian Medium-Resolution Digital Elevation Model (MRDEM). The chart below illustrates the relationship between "Average Elevation" and "Average Surface Temperature" specifically for established residential communities. As observed, this relationship is notably weak, even though a slight cooling trend persists. Based on my data analysis, elevation above sea level is not a key factor in cooling the city. #Calgary #OpenData #UrbanHeat #DataScience #ClimateAction #YYC #GreennesOfCalgary #ClimateEquity #EnvironmentalEquity #CityPlanning #RemoteSensing #RStats #Landsat #fossgis #DigitalElevationModel

COP31 is looming on the horizon for Turkey, but are we focusing on the wrong things? 🧵 If we treat COP31 as a 14-day summit in Antalya, we miss the forest for the trees. It is a multi-year climate process that demands a total overhaul of our economic and operational strategies. Sustainability isn't a PR move; it's a survival strategy. https://beforethelastglaciermelts.blogspot.com/2026/04/are-we-ready-for-cop31.html #COP31 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Turkey #ClimateStrategy
