The fires would potentially be normal & expected in the fall (especially September & October) for SoCal.

However, in January, during what should be our rainy season, and intense enough to burn down entire cities (and not just vegetation). The timing & intensity is #ClimateChange.

(Not fish interfering with gravity, fire department hiring practices, or failure of residents to engage in illegal activities during the evacuation of their homes as "fact checkers" propose).

While Montpellier may be the largest city to introduce free public transport it’s far from the first place in Europe to do so.

Tallinn in Estonia paved the way back in 2013. Since then, multiple other cities & towns have set up their own schemes, while two European countries got in on the act. Luxembourg made all public transport free in 2020, and Malta followed its lead in 2022

Hello, I'm completely new to Mastodon. I'm a scientist, so I thought a server about scientific communication would be interesting. I'm a plant physiologist, more specifically a forest tree ecophysiologist, working on how trees acclimate to #DroughtStress, and generally interested in the effect of #ClimateChange on #Forests .
