Greening mitigates heat-related mortality in Paris - npj Urban Sustainability Cities are vulnerable to heat-related health impacts due to the compounding effects of urban heat island (UHI) and rising temperatures because of climate change. Here we characterise the contextual factors exacerbating and attenuating the risk of mortality associated with high temperature in the city of Paris. Findings suggest that reducing urban heat and mitigating UHI through urban greening should be at the forefront of adaptation strategies to prevent heat-related health impacts in cities.

Urban greening cuts heat deaths in Paris, but "green gentrification" displaces vulnerable residents these interventions aim to protect.

“green gentrification.”

Climate adaptation developed separately from equity…

Why do I support this congressional candidate in Illinois? Moral clarity!

I’m proud to be endorsed by Justice Democrats and PAL PAC.

The only way we can fight fascism is with bold progressive ideas and accountability for all in power.

It’s a new moment. And it requires new leadership:

How about "imposed thousands of dollars of new TAXES." And "Stealing cash from the pocketbook of every American." Don't talk about adverse impacts. Speak plainly please

I was a Post subscriber. I quit because I wouldn't pollute my mind with the inane and poorly reasoned opinion pieces that increasingly dominated that section.

The first Chevy Bolt, like the Volt before it, was an under-appreciated engineering feat and a ton of fun to drive. Chevy is missing a chance to win the true market of the 21st century

How is any of this ok with any American? Thank you @startribune.com for shining a light on all this.

If I shot an unarmed person, I'd expect to be detained and questioned. Most likely I'd be charged, brought before a judge, and made to post bail. If I acted rashly and in anger, I'd expect to lose access to firearms. Why has none of this happened? #justiceforrenee

🚨🚨NEW: Minnesota Star Tribune identifies ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis as Jonathan Ross.

For many, many more examples of the positive impact of protest, track down a copy of my 2007 book Voices of Protest. Protest has made a difference across every political system for thousands of years

Thank you. Twitter is now untrustworthy

I like the image. What's the source?

Shouldn't we expect the speaker of the house be better informed about current events? Aren't we paying him ever two weeks to be well informed for the good of the country? Even while other federal workers don't get paid thanks to his machinations!

Terrifying article. Essential reading

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE. An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Interesting new definition of SFM

“Sustainable forestry is forest management that prioritizes mitigating and adapting to climate change during the next several decades as a critical aspect of meeting the social, economic, ecological, and spiritual needs of current and future generations.”

Thanks Andrew!

Redefining sustainable forestry for a climate emergency The concept of what constitutes sustainable forestry has evolved over time, as foresters and society have reconsidered our knowledge of forest ecosyst…

Very proud to be a coauthor on a new definition of sustainable forestry for our era of #climate crisis. Our definition calls for carbon levels in the atmosphere to be the touchstone for forest management decisions. Read it for yourself (no paywall), here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Repubs keep bringing up trans people in sports to distract and divide. They don't want to discuss their awful, unpopular programs. Dems should refuse to play (see what I did there) and focus on govt policy that unites us-- protect the middle class, national parks, climate, and civil liberties

That same thing happened to me on jet blue from Boston early this year. What's with Boston, JetBlue, and fish?

It was not that he platforms others. It was his not confronting their biased, hateful viewpoints, and even agreeing with them on trans rights. I want Democrat leadership who speak for all people's rights and build the bonds that connect us all as Americans, not who sell out the weakest.

Gavin has disqualified himself for me with his cozying up to right wing nut jobs on his podcast

This is so what govt should be, in so many ways!

Of course residents of many countries have already had to pay hundreds even to apply for a US Visa, without any guarantee of getting in or any $ back or explanation if they are denied.

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

Of course the right hates #Superman. They have been fighting weekend for years, and what is "woke" other than believing in "truth, justice and the American way." And to me and many others the American way emphasizes kindness and courage. Call me woke anytime.

Why did it take Kristi Noem from Friday until Monday to authorize FEMA's search and rescue teams to deploy? Too busy with Fourth of July celebrations to do her job?
