The sole employee at the National Park Service responsible for cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells at national parks was let go last month and wasn't replaced. There are 93 orphaned wells on park lands - 70 are leaking methane and benzene.

Here's a #HolidayRobin that so very confidently illustrates the everyday beauty of one of Europe’s most common passerines. This one patiently posed last week near the highest point of Parc du Mont Boron, the park that towers over the eastern side of Nice.

Wishing a great week to all!

I'm shocked. 🙄

Exxon funded rightwing thinktanks to spread climate change denial across Latin America over several years in a coordinated campaign to make the global south “less inclined” to support the UN-led climate treaty process.

NOAA aerial imagery is coming in. Hurricane Melissa literally turned western Jamaica from green to brown. Vegetation damage is immense — recovery will take years.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

Thread du jour re: the recent Bill Gates memo. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Katharine Hayhoe @katharinehayhoe.com · 4d

If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really!

It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line.

And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.

My quote from an Axios interview, stating that: People often think of climate change as a separate bucket at the end of a long row of other buckets of problems we're trying to fix that are wrong in the world," Hayhoe told Axios.
This includes poverty, disease and access to clean water.
"Climate change is not a separate bucket," Hayhoe said. "The reason we care about climate change is that it's the hole in every bucket."

This is for Trump.
A recent study reveals that energy costs in Britain has been reduced by 104 billon pounds the last 15 years because of wind power.
The Biden administration knew this and introduced the IRA which Trump rolled back to make Americans pay more.

Reduction comes from energy generated from windfarms and lower cost of gas owing to lower demand
