The planet is warming even faster than previously thought, according to a bombshell report issued by the #IPCC. That means we are risk of even more devastating impacts, including stronger and more frequent heat waves, wildfires, and hurricanes.

I love it when for-profit companies make the case for open source in #TechforGood. I'm a big fan of the work that @sitkatech does, and this short video (~2 minutes) makes the case for Open-Source Software vs Proprietary Solutions sitkatech.com/sitka-explains…

This satellite image shows how full Lake Oroville, which supplies much of California's drinking water, was in June 2019 and how shallow and dry it is in June 2021. It’s currently holding only 41% of its historic average for this time of year bit.ly/3d795DA
