America is a global leader in climate science, but we must do more and invest in: ✅ Forests as Carbon Reserves ✅ Long-term environmental monitoring ✅ Next generation Earth system modeling ✅ Federal climate scientists @kakryc & @DavidReidmiller ow.ly/KIhO50FTwBg

“This crisis demands immediate climate leadership at every level, coupled with investments in science & technology from our own U.S. Congress—to start—to stave off the worst impacts.” - @kakryc of @amprog on the @IPCC_CH 6th Assessment Report usatoday.com/story/news/worl…

Today, the @IPCC_CH released a report compiling the latest in scientific knowledge on climate change. This #ClimateReport gives a robust picture of past & present global climate conditions, and models future climate projections. (🧵:) ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar…

“Critically, this report shows that climate catastrophes that were projected in previous @IPCC_CH reports are now actually happening, which is both chilling & underscores the need to trust the science and further invest in solutions.” - @kakryc of @amprog. americanprogress.org/press/s…

NEW from @kakryc: New science shows Trump’s anti-conservation rollbacks threaten the Northeast Canyons & Seamounts Marine National Monument. @POTUS must restore strong, permanent protections to save this haven for ocean wildlife. #SaveTheSeamounts americanprogress.org/?p=5015…

The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts #MarineNationalMonument is the only marine monument in the U.S. Atlantic Ocean. A study published today found that opening the monument to commercial fishing reduces species protection in this biodiverse area: buff.ly/3hEWRDx
Ocean literacy is key to understanding and protecting our planet. There is only one ocean and it connects all of us. Our language should reflect this. Will you join us and #droptheS? youtu.be/TUEF9fxbj4I #WorldOceanDay

By protecting at least 30% of the U.S. ocean by 2030, we can ensure that coastal communities thrive, ocean life is nurtured, and the #ocean has a chance to adapt to climate change. Thank you @POTUS for taking action to #Protect30x30!

Yesterday, 40 bipartisan members of Congress called on the Biden Admin to make a $10B investment in #OceanClimateAction projects. Thank you @USRepKeating, @ChrisPappasNH, @davidcicilline, @RepJoeCourtney, @JimLangevin, and @chelliepingree for supporting #OceanClimateAction!
From Acadia to Katahdin, Maine has a long history of conserving our natural heritage. But not all of our majestic wild areas are on land. Read about how the NE #CanyonsAndSeamounts Monument protects ocean life: @KelseyLamp & @NEAQ's @kakryc, @PressHerald pressherald.com/2021/03/07/m…
"If we could see this monument above the waves, its landscape would be as dramatic as any on land." Learn more about why we need to protect the #CanyonsAndSeamounts from @NEAQ's Kelly Kryc and @EnvironmentME's Kelsey Lamp in the @PressHerald buff.ly/2N1JuSO

A healthy planet keeps us all - humans, plants, animals, fungi—alive. That’s why it’s on us to protect what we can, while we can. #MonumentsForAll 🐟🐠 bit.ly/3esrsEi
We know the ocean has a remarkable capacity to restore itself if we reduce or remove damaging influences. Scientists know with strong protections and conservation, ocean ecosystems could recover in as few as 30 years. #SaveTheSeamounts bit.ly/3esrsEi
