    🌊 Good news: In the Faroe Islands, scientists have measured Atlantic currents since 1993. Even as the ocean warms, the Faroe record is holding steady for now; and we only know that because someone kept measuring.

    🌍 Very sad news: In rural Afghanistan, young girls who did almost nothing to cause climate change are paying its steepest price. Climate-driven droughts are decimating harvests and the resulting debt is forcing some families to marry off their daughters far too early.

    🪺 What you can do: You can add to the climate record yourself and I have lots of links here of ways you can help, from logging seasonal changes to transcribing old handwritten weather records.

    Read on and, as always, share what you learn with someone you know --

    @kathhayhoe The Faroe point is the one I would underline. A long record is only useful because the method stayed comparable for decades. When instruments change on a series like that, do the teams publish an overlap period so old and new readings can be matched?
