The latest @IPCC_CH 6th Asst Synthesis Report comes out tomorrow; but after three decades of these assessments, it's already clear that --
Climate is changing
Humans are responsible
The impacts are serious
We aren't doing enough to prevent them
And our future is in our hands.

New paper 🔥 We find hot weather leads to low-income households to be disconnected two to three months later. Evidence that higher energy bills leads to this delayed financial distress nature.com/articles/s41560-0…

Academic moms - trying to quantify how Covid impacted your research productivity? Our newest paper can help. Check out this 🧵 (@leefay_low @AndrewJBaillie @syd_health @Momademia)

I don't know who needs to see this today, but I remember feeling so demoralized on Fridays because I knew the weekend would be as much - if not more - work because I was taking care of tiny humans who never slept. I see you. And you will get weekends back. @Momademia

In this new open access article, we find that the majority of households that face conditions of energy poverty/insecurity, tend to do so on a reoccurring basis. We must think deeply about preventative solutions, debt asst, and implications of dis/reconnection fees, plus more
This work, with @CarleySanya @GraffMichelle @MemmottTrevor, continues our efforts to document and understand household energy insecurity among low-income households in the United States.

Uninterrupted and affordable access to utilities, electricity in particular, is crucial for public health. Thanks to Charlie Harak & Sam Whillans of @NCLC4consumers, @NRDC, @YaleLawSch for the collaboration!

Pakistan is responsible for about 1% of global emissions. Over its history, the US is responsible for about 1/4. We owe the world both breakneck decarbonization here, and massive assistance, technology transfer, trade reform, etc etc, to help the Global South cope w our mess.

Over 55% of all low-income households use coping strategies when they struggle to pay their energy bills. The most risky strategies are the most common. New article in @PNASNews with @DavidKonisky @GraffMichelle @MemmottTrevor pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pn… 1/

Some genuinely terrifying analysis on UK energy bills…
💷bills >£5k, highest in >50y
🏡2/3 to be in fuel poverty
🏥home energy costs £193bn (>> education + defence)
…& political offerings not even close to meeting scale of the crisis

I've seen a lot of rate increases, but I've never seen one this big, or even close to it. Eversource NH customers are getting hit will a 112% increase in their power supply rate, which translates to a $77 per month bill increase.
I'm at a loss for words.

It’s my strongly held belief that deep building efficiency, specifically in residences, is an ethical matter. We promote and advance the health, safety, & welfare of the public. Especially under climate change, buildings that can’t keep you safe in a power outage violate that.
