Climate mitigation and adaptation measures are not costs. They are investments.
The true costs occur when mitigation fails and adaptation is too slow so we suffer from continually worsening extreme weather events like heatwaves and floods.
Invest now to reduce costs in future.

New solar and batteries added to Texas’ electric grid since last summer have reduced the risk for summer blackouts. Last year, the chance of grid emergencies was 16 percent. This summer, it’s less than 1 percent.

Dude - this is surprisingly sophisticated & even blessed with a certain grace. I would argue that our Thymos - or hunger and capacity for #dignity is the sought “Third Attractor”. It is present X continents, cultures & centuries. We’ve lost our “sense of it” but it’s there.

According to the Congressional Budget Office:
Biden's Inflation Reduction Act was projected to *REDUCE* the deficit by $238 BILLION.
The GOP Budget would *INCREASE* the deficit by $3.8 TRILLION (and that's not even considering the deceptive sunsets that will never sunset).

The best Memorial Day speech is only 271 words and wasn't delivered on Memorial Day, but on November 19, 1863. Read it carefully, it's the most important speech in American military history (and maybe all of American history).

Yes, it feels like a strangely magical blessing. Every year these last 10 in #ConcordMA
Every summer my entire area gets this, what my kids and I call, “summer snow.” All the cottonwood trees release their seeds and fill the sky like this. It “snowed” on me while I gardened yesterday and it made me smile when I really needed it. So I thought I’d share the magic 🤍

The demand for dignity is also being made in Serbia’s capital of #Belgrade. Putin’s dream of a reborn Russian Empire built on the ancient lie of “might is right” is being loudly rejected by those who know lawless authority destroys their universal, invoilable & inalienable #dignity as #citizens.
Extraordinary scenes in Serbia’s capital Belgrade right now.
Around 500,000 people are on the streets in what may be the biggest protest in Serbian history. All demanding the resignation of President Vučić & his government.
What began as a student protest is now a full democratic uprising.
