  1. Sometime during this year, but 110 years ago, the coal-seam fire of Jharia in India started. After more than a century, it is still burning in maybe 70 different areas of that region of about 450 km².
    It will continue for other centuries, probably. Just to remember that the major environmental disaster is not caused by nuclear plants, but coal, gas, and other hydrocarbons.

    But all is ok, of course.

  2. Solar energy is going to power the world much sooner than you think, says @NewScientist.

    "The first six months of 2025 saw wind and solar together pass a historic milestone, generating more power than coal for the first time and making renewables the world’s leading source of electricity."

  3. Have you made the connection, yet?

    The Greek myth of Cassandra, and the disbelieved warnings of climate scientists.

  4. See an amazing snowpit dug for research by University of Utah-based Cluster member McKenzie Skiles and their team in this article "Future winters promise less snow, more rain. Nobody’s prepared" from PNAS.

  5. Car tax renewal time. Oh goody.

    And I am reminded just how totally fucking bonkers it is that if we'd bought the pure petrol version of our car, instead of the plug-in hybrid version that we did buy, our car tax would have been vastly cheaper.

    I don't mind doing my bit for the planet, but I do object to being punitively taxed for doing so.

  6. We are witnessing the first stages of civilization’s collapse - “…global elites continue to pursue strategies that will only amplify climate change, ensuring that, in the years to come, humanity will slide ever closer to worldwide collapse.” #CliimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #GlobalWarming #extinction #Environment #civilization #CivilizationCollapse thenation.com/article/environm

  7. "Somewhere else will burn next, and another place will flood. We know this, but we tell ourselves stories to avoid changing. Catastrophe is always something that happens to our neighbors on the lower floors, not us."

  8. How much longer are we all going to wait for justice to come to leaders who cheat us? Where is the accountability? We can't solve the obvious, so our chances of solving #CliimateChange are even less likely. #AgeOfImpunity

  9. #Governments #worldwide are eager to attend #global #climate meetings to solidify their #environmental commitment. Their #political #agendas , however, rarely mirror anything near what they profess.

    Whether it's #CliimateChange , #Canada ’s #international #mining , #BritishColumbia #OldGrowth #forests , #TarSands, #LaBayDuNord - outcome will be the same. There isn’t an area in this, or in most other jurisdictions, that isn’t under some form of environmental attack.

    Artist notes: Surging king tides with rising sea levels are often a mesmerizing beauty in the winter sun with its deep midnight blue waters.
