It's astounding how much CO₂ we put into the atmosphere each year by burning fossil fuels.
For comparison, we all agree that plastic pollution is bad, but the mass of ALL THE PLASTIC humanity has ever produced is only 25% of the CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere in 2025.

1) Fossil fuel
Still no peak. Emissions are projected to increase by 1.1% in 2025, reaching 38.1 GtCO2. An all time high.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

My daughter rarely goes to Starbucks but was in a hurry, this morning, so she went to one down the street from where she lives here in St. Louis. She was asked to find a different place tomorrow to get her coffee because they will be going on strike. Support Starbucks union members!

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

it's almost like sprawl and climate change are bad for the health of the planet and the economy
Home insurance is getting less affordable, and less available, as insurers raise prices and pull back from areas with extreme weather. That's forcing families across the country to make tough choices. n.pr/47QGKwH

From me in the @thenation.com: The left needs to think beyond just winning the next election and build the kind of connective tissue that will allow us to win the next ten. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
