❄️Climate change may reduce the frequency and severity of cold waves.
Sounds like a good thing?
Not quite: The impacts of fewer, weaker cold waves could actually get worse if we let our guard down.
⚠️We must stay prepared for cold waves – even in a warmer world.

Witness the consequences unfold before us.

Species vanishing.

Nature's realms shrinking.

Pollution tainting soil and water Ecosystems crumbling.

This stark reality is our legacy.

But it's not too late to change course.

Let's #ActNow to salvage our #biodiversity.

Ash emitted by a volcano is difficult to see at night. If dense enough, it can be hazardous for aviation and even marine traffic nearby. The Dust Composite satellite imagery from last night, indicated an #ash plume (bright purple) emitted by #Popocatepetl in central Mexico.
