Regardless of who is in office, the planetary systems are breaking down due to forced climate destabilization. We need to focus not on what divides us, but what unites us: our love of our families... especially our children.

Can the media please focus on why Australia approves fossil fuel extraction projects to give it away to foreign companies for free so they can add CO2 to the atmosphere to cause weather disasters that kill & displace Australians…?

Seems like an important topic

Somewhat lost in the news about the Republican Big Ugly Bill is that it also raises your energy bills—gutting clean energy incentives that cut costs for families and businesses. While billionaires get tax breaks, you’ll pay more to keep the lights on.

An entire @nytimes.com video on the need for power at AI data centers (& on tech companies now procuring energy) which never even mentions the words #ClimateChange, let alone notes that we need to phase out fossil fuels now to halt heating at a relatively safe level.

I'm so tired.

From Ron Garan, astronaut/author, FLOATING IN DARKNESS:

'It's obvious from the vantage point of space that we are living a lie.

'We need to move from thinking: "economy, society, planet" to "planet, society, economy."'

How can YOU help change that thinking?

If you may be in harms' way, make sure the notifications on your phone are enabled. Check for tornado watches and warnings regularly, and have a plan for what you'll do and where you'll go. I use the @myradar.bsky.social app myself.

Hey Dads (maybe "Hay"?),

Hope you're safe out there!

The gutting of NOAA has made the climate disasters even more deadly.

I'll post where to follow for a warning system next.

The latest issue of Astronomy magazine came down to earth with two excellent articles on climate change. One had this familiar chart updated with the latest data.

Because it does.

Fires blow fracked methane (aka, #naturalgas) pipes and get worse. That is enough reason to go all-electric.

P.S. #GreenHydrogen is a mask for keeping gas in the system.
