On this day 58 yrs ago, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring while dying of breast cancer. @LibraryAmerica welcomed her into their pantheon with a definitive edition that also collects her letters and speechesโ€”all revealing her extraordinary courage. Iโ€™m proud to be its editor.

There is a lot of confusion about carbon budgets and how quickly emissions need to fall to zero to meet various warming targets. To cut through some of this morass, we can use some very simple emission pathways to explore what various targets would entail. 1/11

Now the No.1 reason ppl pick their form of transportation is avoiding risk of infection, stronger than even time-to-destination.

The new "car" will cut emissions and deaths by 90% and be narrow enough to fit two by in an old school lane.

Notice, this is in the time of horse-drawn carriages. Theoretically more advanced than any transit today. It's all about the hardware.

Solar camping is probably one of the best forms of freedom that I can think of. This is the best I could do in 2018. the next solar vehicle will be better. Sure wish I had the space to build the carbon molds and store them. (not my rig, I just made the trailer)

I highly recommend. Greta's clarity & honesty is so obvious & rare in our culture. A must listen.
The climate- and ecological crisis can no longer be solved within todayโ€™s political and economic systems. Thatโ€™s not an opinion. Itโ€™s just simple maths. #ClimateEmergency The 75min English podcast I recorded is now available at sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/153โ€ฆ and open.spotify.com/episode/7E2โ€ฆ
