"[#Helene is] the most significant natural disaster that any one of us has ever seen." - emergency official in Buncombe County, NC Prolonged power outages are in store for areas of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. View Helene's path of destruction next to areas with high power outage risk in the image below. Many of the areas without power have historically vulnerable grids.

Damien Steel and Charlie Renzoni have had an energizing week on the ground at #ClimateWeekNYC meeting with carbon removal buyers. When the world convenes for the climate cause, we can solve anything. Let's go!

Tropical Storm Helene is cruising towards the Florida Panhandle, expected to become a major hurricane upon landfall tomorrow. In Deep Sky Research's original research on hurricane risk in the US, findings show: - What used to be the 100-year hurricane will now happen every 25 years - Frequency of deadly hurricane weather has jumped 300% - Hurricanes could cost more than $450B in the next 5 years (a 50% increase) - Gulf Coast states face greatest rainfall increases Most deaths and damage caused by hurricanes are a result of the massive volumes of water they drop on coastal areas. They also cause dangerous power outages, contributing to damage and loss of life. View our interactive map to see Panhandle counties with the highest risks of prolonged power outages.
