In a post on Twitter/X, Bill McKibben, the Schumann distinguished scholar of environmental studies at Middlebury College and the co-founder of 350.org, wrote that “22 hours ago Milton was a tropical storm” – but as of Monday “it’s a Cat 5 hurricane”.
“This,” he said, “is what happens on an overheated earth.”
