En 2021, 2 km s&#x2019;ajoutent&#xA0;tandis que d&#x2019;autres liens cyclables sont planifi&#xE9;s pour 2022.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p></div></div>

<div class="content-modules"><div class="content-module-stacked"><div><h2><span><span><span><span>Pour un partage plus inclusif et s&#xE9;curitaire de la voie publique</span></span></span></span></h2>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Ces voies cyclables sont destin&#xE9;es autant aux jeunes &#xE9;l&#xE8;ves, pour se rendre de la maison &#xE0; l&#x2019;&#xE9;cole ou au parc, qu&#x2019;aux travailleuses et travailleurs, aux familles, aux personnes &#xE0; mobilit&#xE9; r&#xE9;duite, aux r&#xE9;sident(e)s qui souhaitent s&#x2019;approvisionner aupr&#xE8;s des commer&#xE7;ant(e)s du quartier, bref&#xA0;aux usag&#xE8;res et usagers&#xA0;de tous les &#xE2;ges.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<h3><span><span><span><span><span><span>Le projet est&#xA0;r&#xE9;alis&#xE9; en 3&#xA0;phases</span></span></span></span></span></span></h3>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>&#xC0; l&#x2019;&#xE9;t&#xE9; 2020, 5 km ont &#xE9;t&#xE9;&#xA0;implant&#xE9;s sur les rues Prieur et Sauriol,&#xA0;&#xE0; l&#x2019;ouest de l&#x2019;avenue Papineau. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Pour 2021, 2,4 km de piste, situ&#xE9;s &#xE0; l&#x2019;est de l&#x2019;avenue Papineau, seront&#xA0;ajout&#xE9;s avec comme objectif un prolongement jusqu&#x2019;aux limites est de l&#x2019;arrondissement, en 2022, pour la rue Prieur Est et jusqu&#x2019;au parc des Hirondelles pour la rue Sauriol Est.&#xA0;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>L&#x2019;am&#xE9;nagement de&#xA0;ces pistes cyclables occasionnera certains changements quant &#xE0; la r&#xE9;partition actuelle de l&#x2019;espace public d&#xE9;di&#xE9; &#xE0; la circulation automobile et n&#xE9;cessitera des changements d&#x2019;habitudes dans certains secteurs de l&#x2019;arrondissement.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<h2><span><span><span><span><span><span>Impacts - travaux de la phase II (2021)</span></span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h3>Mise &#xE0;&#xA0;sens unique de la rue Sauriol Est</h3>
<p>Dans le cadre de ces&#xA0;travaux, la rue Sauriol Est sera mise &#xE0; sens unique, entre l&#x2019;avenue Papineau et la rue De Saint-Firmin.</p>
<h3>Retrait de places de stationnement</h3>
<p>L&#x2019;implantation des pistes cyclables n&#xE9;cessite aussi le retrait de places de stationnement. L&#x2019;espace public &#xE9;tant r&#xE9;partit de mani&#xE8;re diff&#xE9;rente, les places disponibles sur les rues transversales pourraient alors &#xEA;tre&#xA0;utilis&#xE9;es plus fr&#xE9;quemment et palier &#xE0; cette r&#xE9;duction. Ces transformations demanderont&#xA0;certains changements d&#x2019;habitudes.</p></div></div><div class="content-module-stacked"><figure class="figure"><div class="img-container"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/villemontreal/image/upload/q_auto,f_auto,dpr_auto,q_auto/v1/portail/t0co9tgrmwkouxvngtig.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="Carte qui indique o&#xF9; sont situ&#xE9;es les nouvelles pistes cyclables"></div><figcaption class="figure-caption">Carte et l&#xE9;gende des pistes cyclables implant&#xE9;es et &#xE0; venir dans Ahuntsic-Cartierville</figcaption></figure></div><div class="content-module-stacked"><h3><span><span><span><span>Des pistes cyclables d&#xE9;neig&#xE9;es en&#xA0;hiver</span></span></span></span></h3>

<p><span><span><span><span>En reliant ces &#xE9;tablissements scolaires aux quartiers qui les entourent, ces pistes cyclables offrent un <strong>passage s&#xE9;curis&#xE9;</strong>&#xA0;tant pour les &#xE9;tudiant(e)s que les membres du personnel, de m&#xEA;me que pour tous les citoyens qui profitent de ces&#xA0;installations.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span>Dans cette m&#xEA;me perspective, l&#x2019;implantation de ces pistes est une &#xE9;tape importante dans le trac&#xE9; de quartiers plus verts, en longeant 7 parcs situ&#xE9;s de la rue Meilleur aux limites est de l&#x2019;arrondissement, soit&#xA0;les parcs Tolhurst, Saint-Andr&#xE9;-Ap&#xF4;tre, Ahuntsic, Saint-Paul-de-la-Croix, du Sault-au-R&#xE9;collet, des&#xA0;Hirondelles et Prieur.&#xA0;</span></span></span></span></p>

En 2021, 2 km s&#x2019;ajoutent&#xA0;tandis que d&#x2019;autres liens cyclables sont planifi&#xE9;s pour 2022.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p></div></div><div class="content-modules"><div class="content-module-stacked"><div><h2><span><span><span><span>Pour un partage plus inclusif et s&#xE9;curitaire de la voie publique</span></span></span></span></h2>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Ces voies cyclables sont destin&#xE9;es autant aux jeunes &#xE9;l&#xE8;ves, pour se rendre de la maison &#xE0; l&#x2019;&#xE9;cole ou au parc, qu&#x2019;aux travailleuses et travailleurs, aux familles, aux personnes &#xE0; mobilit&#xE9; r&#xE9;duite, aux r&#xE9;sident(e)s qui souhaitent s&#x2019;approvisionner aupr&#xE8;s des commer&#xE7;ant(e)s du quartier, bref&#xA0;aux usag&#xE8;res et usagers&#xA0;de tous les &#xE2;ges.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<h3><span><span><span><span><span><span>Le projet est&#xA0;r&#xE9;alis&#xE9; en 3&#xA0;phases</span></span></span></span></span></span></h3>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>&#xC0; l&#x2019;&#xE9;t&#xE9; 2020, 5 km ont &#xE9;t&#xE9;&#xA0;implant&#xE9;s sur les rues Prieur et Sauriol,&#xA0;&#xE0; l&#x2019;ouest de l&#x2019;avenue Papineau. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Pour 2021, 2,4 km de piste, situ&#xE9;s &#xE0; l&#x2019;est de l&#x2019;avenue Papineau, seront&#xA0;ajout&#xE9;s avec comme objectif un prolongement jusqu&#x2019;aux limites est de l&#x2019;arrondissement, en 2022, pour la rue Prieur Est et jusqu&#x2019;au parc des Hirondelles pour la rue Sauriol Est.&#xA0;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>L&#x2019;am&#xE9;nagement de&#xA0;ces pistes cyclables occasionnera certains changements quant &#xE0; la r&#xE9;partition actuelle de l&#x2019;espace public d&#xE9;di&#xE9; &#xE0; la circulation automobile et n&#xE9;cessitera des changements d&#x2019;habitudes dans certains secteurs de l&#x2019;arrondissement.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<h2><span><span><span><span><span><span>Impacts - travaux de la phase II (2021)</span></span></span></span></span></span></h2>
<h3>Mise &#xE0;&#xA0;sens unique de la rue Sauriol Est</h3>
<p>Dans le cadre de ces&#xA0;travaux, la rue Sauriol Est sera mise &#xE0; sens unique, entre l&#x2019;avenue Papineau et la rue De Saint-Firmin.</p>
<h3>Retrait de places de stationnement</h3>
<p>L&#x2019;implantation des pistes cyclables n&#xE9;cessite aussi le retrait de places de stationnement. L&#x2019;espace public &#xE9;tant r&#xE9;partit de mani&#xE8;re diff&#xE9;rente, les places disponibles sur les rues transversales pourraient alors &#xEA;tre&#xA0;utilis&#xE9;es plus fr&#xE9;quemment et palier &#xE0; cette r&#xE9;duction. Ces transformations demanderont&#xA0;certains changements d&#x2019;habitudes.</p></div></div><div class="content-module-stacked"><figure class="figure"><div class="img-container"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/villemontreal/image/upload/q_auto,f_auto,dpr_auto,q_auto/v1/portail/t0co9tgrmwkouxvngtig.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="Carte qui indique o&#xF9; sont situ&#xE9;es les nouvelles pistes cyclables"></div><figcaption class="figure-caption">Carte et l&#xE9;gende des pistes cyclables implant&#xE9;es et &#xE0; venir dans Ahuntsic-Cartierville</figcaption></figure></div><div class="content-module-stacked"><h3><span><span><span><span>Des pistes cyclables d&#xE9;neig&#xE9;es en&#xA0;hiver</span></span></span></span></h3>

<p><span><span><span><span>En reliant ces &#xE9;tablissements scolaires aux quartiers qui les entourent, ces pistes cyclables offrent un <strong>passage s&#xE9;curis&#xE9;</strong>&#xA0;tant pour les &#xE9;tudiant(e)s que les membres du personnel, de m&#xEA;me que pour tous les citoyens qui profitent de ces&#xA0;installations.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><span>Dans cette m&#xEA;me perspective, l&#x2019;implantation de ces pistes est une &#xE9;tape importante dans le trac&#xE9; de quartiers plus verts, en longeant 7 parcs situ&#xE9;s de la rue Meilleur aux limites est de l&#x2019;arrondissement, soit&#xA0;les parcs Tolhurst, Saint-Andr&#xE9;-Ap&#xF4;tre, Ahuntsic, Saint-Paul-de-la-Croix, du Sault-au-R&#xE9;collet, des&#xA0;Hirondelles et Prieur.&#xA0;</span></span></span></span></p>

<p><br>If the true urgency of climate change was not clear to Americans before, it should be clear by now. The mind-bending <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01869-0">heat</a>, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/06/17/heat-wave-southwest-fires-drought/">drought</a>, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57794263">fire</a> and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/09/new-york-city-storm-flooding-climate-change">flood</a> sweeping the country are both nightmares and wake-up calls to the reality fossil fuels created. For over 40 years, our most powerful people and institutions collectively ignored climate scientists, and now the deadly consequences have arrived at all our doorsteps. Part of Jaweria Baig wishes they had arrived here sooner. Perhaps her life would be different if they had.</p>

<p><strong>“</strong>I have witnessed people suffering and dying since I was a child,” the 18-year-old from Pakistan told HEATED via phone. Her home town, located in the mountainous Hunza Valley, is surrounded by towering Himalayan glaciers that have <a href="https://apnews.com/article/climate-climate-change-courts-avalanches-india-7be7a76eea4d497b22609ff3d5194e69">been melting at an astonishing rate since before Baig was born</a>. These climate-fueled melts have formed more than 3,000 glacial lakes, which now regularly break their banks and rush through surrounding villages, <a href="https://www.thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/671886-the-new-normal">taking everything—and everyone—in their path with them</a>. More than 7 million people in the region are at risk from these floods, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/6/9/millions-at-risk-as-melting-pakistan-glaciers-raise-flood-fears">according to UNDP</a>.</p>

<p>Baig now lives in the southern city of Karachi, but friends and family still live in Hunza. Eventually they’ll face a difficult choice: move south willingly, or let the mountain do it for them. Even if the world meets its most ambitious climate targets, one third of the Himalayan glaciers will melt by the end of the century, a 2019 International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development <a href="https://lib.icimod.org/record/34383">report</a> found. And even the south won’t provide much respite; the <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/06/a-summer-of-fatal-weather/396710/">heat</a> and <a href="https://news.trust.org/item/20200922111419-3p1i8">monsoon rains</a> there are some of the most punishing in the world. The average daily temperature in Karachi this past week was 104 degrees*. Stepping outside “<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/commentisfree/2021/jul/04/in-karachi-hot-weather-is-normal-but-44c-feels-like-youre-going-to-die">feels like you’re going to die.</a>” </p>

<p>After 18 years of life in the world’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/27/opinion/pakistan-climate-change.html">fifth most climate-vulnerable nation</a>, Baig sees her family’s predicament for what it is: not just tragedy, but profound injustice. Pakistan contributes <a href="https://www.unep.org/gan/news/press-release/pakistan-develop-national-adaptation-plan-climate-change">less than 1 percent of the world’s carbon emissions</a>, and yet has been forced to <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/07/24/pakistan-one-worlds-leading-victims-global-warming/809509002/">bear the brunt of the world’s carbon crisis</a>. “I’m angry about it. I’m sad about it. I don’t know how people have the audacity to prioritize money over humanity,” she said. And she can’t help but wonder if this would have happened if America—<a href="https://phys.org/news/2021-04-biggest-carbon-emitter-history-nations.html">which has put more carbon into the atmosphere than any other nation</a>—had felt these impacts first. </p>

<p>“I should be in university,” she said. But her life’s work is activism. “I have no choice,” she said, her voice breaking on the phone. Each day, Baig said, she’s fighting to secure the world’s future. And she wants to know, in this critical moment: are you doing anything to help secure hers?</p>

<p>In more than a dozen interviews over the last two weeks, activists from across the climate movement have issued a common call to arms: If you have ever thought of becoming more involved in the fight for climate justice, it’s time to stop thinking, and start doing. </p>

<p>“This is pretty much the biggest moment in climate politics in over a dozen years,” said Jamal Raad, the executive director of <a href="https://www.evergreenaction.com/mission">Evergreen Action</a>, a progressive climate group focused on federal legislation. “If anyone was considering climate activism at any level, from contacting their member of Congress to volunteering with an organization to attending a protest, now’s the time.”</p>

<p>The scientific case for urgency has never been clearer. Last month, a <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210623-crushing-climate-impacts-to-hit-sooner-than-feared-draft-un-report">draft of the latest U.N. IPCC report</a>—the gold standard summation of modern climate science—was leaked to Agence France-Presse in hopes it might serve as a wake-up call before the next round of international climate talks in November. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jun/23/climate-change-dangerous-thresholds-un-report">The report warned</a> that the dire impacts of global heating were materializing faster than most scientists expected. Several “tipping points”—major, rapid changes in climate conditions that once reached are near-impossible to reverse—are now likely to come sooner rather than later, and many impacts are already locked in. Significant and rapid decarbonization can still prevent further pain and suffering, but the longer we wait, the worse things will become. “Life on Earth can recover from a drastic climate shift by evolving into new species and creating new ecosystems,” it warned. “Humans cannot.”</p>

<p>The costs of inaction are also already playing out in American life. More than 100 people <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/oregons-heat-wave-death-toll-reaches-107-mass/story?id=78708448">were killed by the oppressive heat</a> in Oregon last month, part of a larger record-breaking heat dome event that cumulatively caused <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/canada-heatwave-toll-tops-800-101625334250895.html">more than 800 deaths</a> across the Pacific Northwest. Farmers and ranchers <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/historic-drought-in-west-forcing-ranchers-to-take-painful-measures">are suffering</a> under <a href="https://pacinst.org/the-2021-western-drought-what-to-expect-as-conditions-worsen/">historic drought conditions</a> in the West, where states <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/drought-california-western-united-states.html">are already limiting water supply</a> while fighting <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/video/eye-opener-triple-digit-temperatures-drought-fuel-wildfires-in-the-west/">out-of-control wildfires</a>. <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2021/06/28/gretchen-whitmer-calls-action-climate-change-infrastructure/7784557002/">Record rainfall in Michigan</a> is overwhelming Detroit’s aging sewage systems, part of <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/144798/floridas-poop-nightmare-come-true">the growing pandemic of poop-filled floodwaters</a>. And on the East Coast, tropical storm Elsa signaled <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/07/09/tropical-storm-elsa-new-england/">a powerful start to yet another destructive hurricane season</a>, expected to be “above average” in activity for the sixth year in a row. </p>

<p>Fortunately, scientists are also more confident than ever about how to improve the situation. In May, the influential and notoriously conservative International Energy Administration <a href="https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/07/a-bombshell-report-from-closely-followed-international-energy-agency/">released a “bombshell” report</a> outlining how the world could still achieve the Paris Agreement’s goal of preventing a 1.5°C rise in global average temperatures. “As the major source of global emissions, the energy sector holds the key to responding to the world’s climate challenge,” <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/net-zero-by-2050">the report</a> read. That sector must fully decarbonize by 2050, which requires not just a massive acceleration to renewables, electric vehicles, and energy efficient building retrofits, but “a huge decline in the use of fossil fuels,” it said. “There is no need for investment in new fossil fuel supply in our net zero pathway.”</p>

<p>The dire need to significantly decrease fossil fuel use, however, has still not sunk into the minds of the world’s biggest polluters. Take the United States. The Biden administration has taken some meaningful steps toward reducing carbon pollution, including suspending oil and gas leasing on federal land, cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline, and reinstating several EPA climate regulations. But his Justice Department is also currently defending at least three massive new fossil fuel projects: the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/27/biden-administration-alaska-oil-gas-drilling-project">Willow drilling project</a> in Alaska, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/24/climate/line-3-pipeline-biden.html">the Line 3 tar sands pipeline</a> in Minnesota, and <a href="https://earthjustice.org/news/press/2021/department-of-justice-defends-trump-era-wyoming-leases">millions of acres of oil and gas leasing in Wyoming</a>. </p>

<p>The massive infrastructure bill making its way through Congress is also a big opportunity to ensure meaningful climate investments in the energy sector—and may in fact be <a href="https://www.vox.com/22537509/democrats-climate-bill-biden-waxman-markey">the last chance to pass meaningful climate legislation</a> during Biden’s presidency. But the latest version was recently <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/24/climate/biden-climate-infrastructure.html">stripped of most of its significant climate provisions</a>, including a Clean Energy Standard, tax credits for renewable energy, and a new civilian climate corps. </p>

<p>The draft IPCC report places the blame for such inaction directly on the fossil fuel industry. Specifically, “think tanks, foundations, trade associations and other third-party groups that represent fossil fuel companies for promoting ‘contrarian’ science that misleads the public and disrupts efforts to implement climate policies needed to address the rising threats,” <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/02/climate-scientists-exxon-mobile-report-497805">Politico reported last week</a>. “Rhetoric on climate change and the undermining of science have contributed to misperceptions of the scientific consensus, uncertainty, unduly discounted risk and urgency, dissent, and, most importantly, polarized public support delaying mitigation and adaptation action, particularly in the U.S.”</p>

<p>The fossil fuel industry is indeed <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/08/north-dakota-sues-biden-administration-oil-gas-leases-public-lands">fighting</a> <a href="https://www.upstreamonline.com/finance/keystone-xl-developer-files-lawsuit-against-us-seeking-15bn-in-damages/2-1-1038568">very hard</a> <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/24/14-states-sue-biden-administration-over-oil-and-gas-leasing-moratorium.html">to undo</a> <a href="https://www.channel4.com/news/revealed-exxonmobils-lobbying-war-on-climate-change-legislation">and prevent</a> further climate action in the U.S. But others are helping them, too. GOP states are using taxpayer dollars <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/24/14-states-sue-biden-administration-over-oil-and-gas-leasing-moratorium.html">to file lawsuits on their behalf</a>. Advertising and marketing firms are creating <a href="https://gizmodo.com/i-hate-that-conoco-is-so-good-at-social-media-1847220996">sophisticated PR campaigns</a> to help them convince the public they’re green. News outlets, many of which routinely ignore the climate crisis, are <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/environment/media-fossil-fuel-ads/">running those ad campaigns</a> and making a profit. Social media companies like Facebook and Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/InfluenceMap/status/1413475420347973633?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">are doing the same</a>.</p>

<p>In other words, there’s a lot to do—and the IEA, which wrote the blueprint for effective action, says the key is people power. “A transition of the scale and speed described by the net zero pathway cannot be achieved without sustained support and participation from citizens,” <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/net-zero-by-2050">the blueprint said</a>. That means more than just saying you’re for a healthy planet. It means taking a stand against the reason it’s sick. </p>

<p>The ability to participate in activism is a privilege. Many simply do not have the time, money, or emotional bandwidth to take on a global cause. Climate activism also has an unfortunate history of regressive finger-wagging, blaming relatively powerless individuals for not making “better” environmental choices. </p>

<p>The climate activism that is needed today is not that type of activism—especially since, according to the IEA, individual “behavior” changes will only account for around 4 percent of cumulative emissions reductions in the path to net zero. What’s needed today is sustained outrage at the powerful, by those with the time and resources to express it. </p>

<p>For 18-year-old Jaweria Baig in Pakistan, this means pushing for big changes at powerful corporations. Her latest campaign, launched with youth activists from climate vulnerable counties across the world, targets Microsoft. She’s asking the tech giant to significantly decrease its emissions from corporate flights, and use its own video conference platform “Teams” instead, as it did during pandemic-induced lockdown. Microsoft is currently “one of the world's top buyers” of flights, the <a href="https://justuseteams.com/">Just Use Teams</a> campaign says, its emissions comparable to some small countries. </p>

<p>Microsoft—which markets itself as <a href="https://heated.world/p/the-climate-deniers-microsoft-helped">a leader in the fight for climate justice</a>—has so far declined to respond to Baig’s campaign. A spokesperson for the tech giant sent HEATED only a link to its corporate sustainability and aviation plans in response to the group’s complaints. So in the meantime, Baig is asking for people power. She wants Microsoft staff to leave <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Microsoft-Reviews-E1651.htm?countryRedirect=true">anonymous Glassdoor reviews</a> telling their bosses to use Teams instead of airplanes, and wants Microsoft customers to <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=.%40Microsoft%2C%20will%20you%20pledge%20to%20carry%20on%20using%20Teams%20instead%20of%20taking%20pointless%20flights%20for%20meetings%20-%20for%20the%20climate%2C%20your%20customers%2C%20and%20your%20employees%27%20welfare%3F%20%20What%27s%20your%20response%20%40satyanadella%20%40BradSmi%20%40lucasjoppa%3F%20Read%20more%20at%20justuseteams.com%20%23JustUseTeams&amp;related=satyanadella%2CBradSmi">tweet their support</a>. </p>

<p>If Microsoft’s flights don’t inspire you, though, there are plenty other campaigns in need of voices, resources, signatures, or bodies. Is the bipartisan infrastructure deal your thing? Perhaps you’d like <a href="https://www.evergreenaction.com/blog/no-climate-no-deal">No Climate No Deal</a>, a campaign launched by Evergreen Action and the youth-led Sunrise Movement last month. The campaign is pressuring Democratic members of Congress to reject any infrastructure legislation lacking “transformational investments in climate and environmental justice solutions.” They’ve already secured pledges from 14 Democratic Senators. They’re seeking support in the form of <a href="https://www.evergreenaction.com/blog/no-climate-no-deal">a petition, calls to Senators, and tweets</a>. </p>

<p>Or maybe you’re really pissed at advertising agencies, marketing firms, and social media giants for helping promote fossil fuel company propaganda. If that’s the case, you might like <a href="https://cleancreatives.org/about">Clean Creatives</a>. Despite only launching less than a year ago, it has gotten 92 advertising agencies to sign a pledge against working with fossil fuel companies. It’s now spreading <a href="https://cleancreatives.org/news/climate-groups-launch-petition-pressuring-social-media-platforms-to-ban-fossil-fuel-ads">a petition</a> to get social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook to ban fossil fuel ads. (<a href="https://twitter.com/duncanwrites?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Duncan Meisel,</a> one of the group’s co-founders, said in an interview that this newsletter was part of the inspiration for forming the group. So maybe you could also start a newsletter, if that’s your thing.)</p>

<p>Indigenous <a href="https://www.ienearth.org/">groups</a> also need <a href="https://www.facebook.com/giniwcollective/">help</a> opposing fossil fuel projects across the country. Most have action hubs with a range of potential ways to help, like <a href="https://www.stopline3.org/hub">this one for the Line 3 pipeline</a>. Environmental justice groups like <a href="https://www.weact.org/">We Act</a> and the <a href="https://climatejusticealliance.org/">Climate Justice Alliance</a> also need voices and resources. Perhaps Vice’s list of <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/jgx7xy/environmental-justice-climate-action-organizations-to-donate-time-and-money">12 environmental justice organizations to donate time and money to</a> would be of interest. </p>

<p>If straight-up activism isn’t your thing, maybe you’d like to support climate science education or communications projects like <a href="https://www.climatecentral.org/">Climate Central</a> or the <a href="https://acespace.org/">Alliance for Climate Education</a>. If you believe in the power of journalism, maybe you want to support accountability projects like <a href="https://www.floodlightnews.org/#:~:text=Floodlight%20is%20a%20nonprofit%20environmental,interests%20holding%20back%20climate%20action.&amp;text=Are%20you%20a%20journalist%20looking%20to%20partner%20on%20an%20investigation%3F">Floodlight</a> and <a href="https://drillednews.com/">Drilled News</a>, or regional publications like <a href="https://southerlymag.org/">Southerly Mag</a>. Maybe you’re into culture and want to donate to a place like the <a href="https://climatemuseum.org/donations">Climate Museum</a>. Maybe there’s a state climate policy you want to get involved with; or a local office you want to run for; or an opportunity to make a difference at the company you already work at. Maybe you just want to <a href="https://heated.world/p/drag-them">troll fossil fuel companies all day</a>. </p>

<p>The opportunities to get involved in the climate fight are endless, and that can be overwhelming. But the beauty of people power is that you don’t <em>have</em> to do everything. “You don’t need to quit your job and become a climate activist,” said Genevieve Gunther, founder of the media-focused group <a href="https://www.endclimatesilence.org/">End Climate Silence</a>. “With enough people, one little thing every week, even a tweet, can make a huge difference.” </p>

<p>Some people may read this and believe it is pointless. That we are too late. That none of it matters. The fossil fuel industry knows this is not true. Their fear of a determined, pissed off public is why they promoted campaigns of climate denial and “individual responsibility” in the first place. They knew if people were unsure about the problem, they’d waste time fighting about it instead of mobilizing to fix it. They knew if people were confused about the solution, they’d waste time trying to change themselves and each other instead of the system. </p>

<p>However worse the climate crisis gets now depends on how quickly society transforms. How quickly society transforms depends on how many people demand it. The most harmful lie being spread about climate change today is not that it is fake. It’s that nothing you can do can help save the world. <br></p>

<p>A Facebook engineer abused employee access to user data to track down a woman who had left him after they fought, a new book said.</p>

<p>Between January 2014 and August 2015, the company fired 52 employees over exploiting user data for personal means, said an advance copy of "<a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/an-ugly-truth-sheera-frenkelcecilia-kang?variant=32999376551970" data-analytics-module="body_link">An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination</a>" that Insider obtained.</p>

<p>The engineer, who is unnamed, tapped into the data to "confront" a woman with whom he had been vacationing in Europe after she left the hotel room they had been sharing, the book said. He was able to figure out her location at a different hotel.</p>

<p>Another Facebook engineer used his employee access to dig up information on a woman with whom he had gone on a date after she stopped responding to his messages. In the company's systems, he had access to "years of private conversations with friends over Facebook messenger, events attended, photographs uploaded (including those she had deleted), and posts she had commented or clicked on," the book said. Through the Facebook app the woman had installed on her phone, the book said, the engineer was also able to see her location in real time.</p>

<p>Facebook employees were granted user data access in order to "cut away the red tape that slowed down engineers," the book said.</p>

<p>"There was nothing but the goodwill of the employees themselves to stop them from abusing their access to users' private information," wrote Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang, the book's authors. They added that most of the employees who abused their employee privileges to access user data only looked up information, although a few didn't stop there.</p>

<p>Facebook told Insider it fired employees found to have accessed user data for nonbusiness purposes.<u></u></p>

<p>"We've always had zero tolerance for abuse and have fired every single employee ever found to be improperly accessing data," a spokesperson told Insider in a statement. "Since 2015, we've continued to strengthen our employee training, abuse detection, and prevention protocols. We're also continuing to reduce the need for engineers to access some types of data as they work to build and support our services." <u></u></p>

<h2>A problem that cropped up 'nearly every month'</h2>

<p>Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, was first made aware of the problem in September 2015, when Alex Stamos, Facebook's chief security officer at the time, raised the issue with him. In a presentation to Zuckerberg and the company's top executives, Stamos said engineers had abused the access "nearly every month," the book said.</p>

<p>At the time, more than 16,000 employees had <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-engineer-stalked-teens-spied-on-chats-2010-9" data-analytics-module="body_link">access to users' private data</a>, the book said. Stamos suggested tightening access to fewer than 5,000 employees and fewer than 100 for particularly sensitive information such as passwords. He proposed requiring employees to submit formal requests for access to private data but received pushback from executives. Zuckerberg said changes on the matter were "a top priority" and tasked Stamos with finding a solution and giving an update in a year, the book said.</p>

<p data-bi-ad="" id="gpt-post-sai-desktop_in_post_ad-fluid-4" class="ad ad-wrapper fluid in-post only-desktop" data-force="" data-type="ad" data-adunit="business/tech/post" data-secvert="" data-pagetype="post" data-tag="facebook,personal-data" data-authors="sarah-jackson" data-region="Desktop In Post Ad" data-responsive='[{"browserLimit":[728,0],"slotSize":[[300,250],"fluid"]},{"browserLimit":[1260,0],"slotSize":[[728,90],[300,250],[800,480],[600,480],"fluid"]}]' data-tile-order="tile-4" data-url="/facebook-fired-dozens-abusing-access-user-data-an-ugly-truth-2021-7" data-amazontamsizes="[[728,90],[300,250]]"></p>

<p>But changes that would limit data retention were "antithetical to Mark's DNA," one employee told the book's authors.</p>

<p>The employee added, "At various times in Facebook's history there were paths we could have taken, decisions we could have made, which would have limited, or even cut back on, the user data we were collecting," Frenkel and Kang wrote. "Even before we took those options to him, we knew it wasn't a path he would choose."</p>

In a presentation to Zuckerberg and the company's top executives, Stamos said engineers had abused the access "nearly every month," the book said.</p><p>At the time, more than 16,000 employees had <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-engineer-stalked-teens-spied-on-chats-2010-9" data-analytics-module="body_link">access to users' private data</a>, the book said. Stamos suggested tightening access to fewer than 5,000 employees and fewer than 100 for particularly sensitive information such as passwords. He proposed requiring employees to submit formal requests for access to private data but received pushback from executives. Zuckerberg said changes on the matter were "a top priority" and tasked Stamos with finding a solution and giving an update in a year, the book said.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.popsci.com/story/diy/heat-stroke-vs-heat-exhaustion/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">It begins when you stop sweating</a>. Perspiration usually cools you down by releasing heat into the air as sweat evaporates, but eventually, if your body becomes dehydrated or the external mixture of hot air and humidity gets too high, you can no longer push the salty liquid through your pores. You flush all over as blood moves toward your skin—an attempt to shuttle warmth away from your core. Muscles cramp up as your salt reservoirs deplete. Organs swell as your body kicks up an immune response. Your thinking gets fuzzy. You might start hallucinating. You vomit so your stomach can stop wasting energy on digestion. Your heart pounds and your head aches. You may begin to have seizures.</p>

<p>When death finally comes, whether within the hour or a few days later, it’s in the form of a heart attack or organ failure. In the throes of heatstroke, your internal temperature may spike above 105°F, but if you’re alone—victims often are—you’ll have gone cold by the time someone finds you. It’s likely no one will know that <a href="https://www.popsci.com/diy/heat-stroke-vs-heat-exhaustion/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the true killer was heat</a>. </p>

<p>The human physique begins to fall apart when it gets too hot. “We have to maintain a very specific range of body temperatures,” says <a href="https://socgen.ucla.edu/people/shane-campbell-staton/">Shane Campbell-Staton</a>, a Princeton University evolutionary biologist who studies the impact of extreme temps on people and animals. Most of us are comfortable when the air around us hovers between 68°F and 77°F, which allows us to maintain an internal thermostat somewhere around 98 degrees. When the environment pushes us past those limits, the delicate balance of chemical reactions that keep us alive starts to wobble, leading to cascades of negative effects that can very quickly become fatal. </p>

<p><em>[Related: <a href="https://www.popsci.com/heat-keep-body-cool/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">4 ways to keep cool when the temperature spikes</a>]</em></p>

<p>Officially, only about 700 people in the US die from exposure to extreme heat per year, largely among vulnerable populations, like the unhoused and elderly, and people who spend long hours outside for work or sport. But scientists who study the links between weather and human health believe the actual number is much higher, says Scott Greene, a University of Oklahoma geographer who has been researching the subject since the 1990s. Exposure to extreme highs could be the culprit behind thousands of deaths in the United States each year and <a href="https://www.preventionweb.net/files/61119_credeconomiclosses.pdf/">many more</a> around the globe. It’s hard to say how many for certain, given that most of them go unrecorded. But whatever that grim tally is, we know one thing for sure: We can expect more in the years to come.</p>

<p>Without dramatic climate action in the near future, we will likely experience a sharp uptick in extreme heat events across the country by midcentury. That means a greater percentage of the population will deal with dangerous highs—<a href="https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat-index/">according to the National Weather Service</a> that’s triple digits, or anything in the 90s paired with 65 percent humidity or more.</p>

<p>Recent data from the Union of Concerned Scientists predicts that nearly 90 million people will experience 30 days or more of 105°F temperatures per year by 2050, compared to the fewer than 1 million who experienced such heat annually in the late 1900s. Those 30 scorchers will affect nearly one-third of American urban areas, predominantly in the Sunbelt and the southern Great Plains. Temperatures in the Northeast could exceed 90°F for up to 42 days a year, while some states in the Midwest can expect similar forecasts for more than 100 days a year. We can protect ourselves by changing our lifestyles to suit these climes, but public health experts say it will take a concerted effort from local, state, and national governments to edu­cate people on the dangers of heat, alert them when temperatures creep too high, and offer them solutions—like public access to AC and water.</p>

<p>Some of us are more vulnerable than others. The elderly generally don’t sweat or pump blood as efficiently as youngsters can, while children tend to perspire less and have greater surface-to-body-mass ratios. Certain medications, like antipsychotics and blood pressure pills, can throw internal thermostats out of whack. People without homes or access to air conditioning don’t have safe spaces in which to cool down, while construction workers and other laborers sometimes have no choice but to be outdoors, often during the hottest parts of the day.</p>

<p><em>[Related: <a href="https://www.popsci.com/noaa-map-summer-temperature-2090/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">These beautiful, terrifying maps show how hot we’ll get in 2090</a>]</em></p>

<p>But anyone can succumb to rising temps. The National Weather Service’s heat index indicates that even temperatures in the 80s come with the risk of illness if you’re exposed for hours at a time and humidity is high, or if you’re engaged in strenuous outdoor activity like athletics. The risk goes up in lockstep with increasing airborne moisture and temperatures.</p>

<p>How likely a person is to die from exposure, however, remains somewhat opaque. That’s why Greene and others in his field examine how many people die in a given area during an unusually hot period, as opposed to just looking at those deaths that coroners or medical examiners code as related to hyperthermia. They search for what are known as “excess deaths”—fatalities that spike above the number typical for an area with the same demographics during that time of year. A similar analysis published by a different team in <em>Environmental Epidemiology</em> in 2020 suggests that heat is a direct or indirect cause of up to 10,000 fatalities in the United States each year—far higher than the official count. The circumstances are right for that number to keep going up, but the crisis is already at our door. Even based on official statistics, heat is already the leading weather-related killer in the country, ahead of winter storms, hurricanes, and flooding.</p>

<p>There’s still time, however, to prevent gruesome deaths. When Greene started researching this field in the 1990s, a stretch of fatally hot weather in the US—most notably, the 1995 Chicago heat wave that killed more than 700 people in five days—led cities across the country to start planning ahead. There hasn’t been sufficient research on such programs to quantify the exact benefits, according to the CDC, but what data we have is positive. The widespread adoption of warning systems to make residents aware of extreme temperatures and their health risks is one of the most important changes to come out of those efforts. An investigation of one such initiative in Philadelphia from 1995 to 1998, for example, found that the city’s interventions saved 117 lives in three years. The urban area’s accompanying response infrastructure also played an important role, Greene says. The media educated the public on the dangers of high temps, local utilities maintained services throughout the heat wave even in cases where payments were overdue, cooling centers offered access to shelter and water, and the city increased its staffing for emergency medical services. Greene and others are still working on tallying the exact impact of each of these mitigation efforts. Still, he says, it’s clear that simply making residents aware of the dangers can go a long way toward saving lives.</p>

<p>But hot spells that take locals by surprise remain a concern, especially in cities. A phenomenon called the urban heat island effect can raise temperatures in areas with lots of heat-holding concrete and a dearth of trees by several degrees compared to surrounding areas. That means densely packed metropolises can fall into the danger zone while folks in the suburbs feel fine.</p>

<p>And even though new warning systems and infrastructure have helped, there’s more work to do. “The main thing that separates us from the rest of the tree of life is our unique ability to buffer ourselves against extremes,” says Princeton’s Campbell-Staton.</p>

<p>To keep dropping the number of deaths, even as temperatures go up, city, county, state, and federal governments need to coordinate their responses, Greene says. He wants to see a more robust centralized national forecasting effort that predicts temperature spikes as far out as possible. With advance notice, cities could prepare by freeing up emergency funds and properly staffing infrastructure like ambulances and cooling centers. Such alerts could also clearly spell out what extreme heat might mean for a given locale: Just as an inch of snow is more of an emergency in Atlanta than it is in Boston due to baseline preparedness and local knowledge, you might not need a heat alert in Phoenix for the same temperatures as in Anchorage. These efforts could help raise the profile of extreme highs as an issue, Greene says, and save lives while they do. But for now, it’s important to realize just how many people are at risk—and how few of them know it.</p>
