    Dear Senator / Representative:

    You must speak out about the politicization of climate change.

    The United States just recorded its hottest summer and warmest August in 131 years of record keeping, beating the benchmark set with the 1936 Dust Bowl. In August, Lake Mead reached its lowest water level since it was filled about 90 years ago, as the Colorado River remains over-committed.

    Globally, ocean temperatures hit a record high in August, foreshadowing a super El Nino climate pattern.

    Meanwhile, this Republican Administration is actively glorifying petroleum products and ignoring alternative energy sources.

    The administration’s FY2027 budget request seeks to cut the National Science Foundation budget by 55% and eliminate NOAA’s climate research arm entirely. These requests ignore that Congress rejected similar cuts to FY2026 funding just months ago.

    Please::
    -Make it clear that we must acknowledge climate change is real.
    -Introduce a bill boosting research related to mitigating climate change.
    -Make it clear that the U.S. will honor its Paris Accord agreements.
    -Decry this Republican administration’s war on science and love affair with oil.

    Thank you.

  2. The second headline on the #ClimateCrisis is less encouraging - because our business "leaders" and politicians fear making the necessary changes. In spite of knowing HOW to rapidly #ElectrifyEverything, the #LemmingsInCharge are leading us into disaster.

    (And I apologize for the slur on lemmings, they do not blindly follow each other in mass suicide events. Are they smarter than we are?)

  3. I'd like to prepare more #vegetarian and #vegan food, especially from locally sourced products.
    Could you recommend some #books , ideally #recipes for #mediterranean climate

  4. RE: mastodon.social/@greenpeace/11

    Like with Covid, our governments don't care if we live or die through a heatwave, just that wealth continues to be extracted from us. We're a resource to be managed....not human beings....and apparently we should be grateful for that.

  5. EU climate monitors confirming August was the hottest month ever recorded globally—1.65°C above pre-industrial levels—is a stark wake-up call. Clinging to fossil fuel expansion while heatwaves scorch continents is reckless. When do politicians face reality? (1/2) 🤔 #ClimateCrisis france24.com/en/live-news/2026

  7. Tens of thousands of people have died in extreme heat in recent weeks.

    The true toll is likely far higher.

    Make no mistake: this is fossil-fuelled chaos.

  9. In this #longread for WIRED, Hilary Beaumont skillfully combines investigative #journalism, visual journalism, and #DDJ to tell a dramatic story:

    People with schizophrenia – already stigmatized, isolated, and fighting a vicious disease – are particularly endangered by the #ClimateCrisis. Because their bodies "regulate temperature very differently than others do."

    A hymn to #technofascism

    This article praises #Obama for helping #SiliconValley become the oligarchic behemoth it is and scolds … #Biden for not doing more of the same.

    No word, absolutely none, about the people, the cost of living, #democracy, privacy, #surveillance, the #environment, #ClimateCrisis, etc, nothing. Living in a bubble, seeing only the bubble walls, ignoring the whole world out there.

    Exactly why #Democrats lost the people, and will keep on losing elections.

  12. Ministers must stop ‘hiding the truth’ about threat to #UK security from climate and nature crisis

    theguardian.com/politics/2026/

    “It was a bleak preview of what is to come if we continue to allow the greed of corporations to come above the survival of our natural world – and all that relies on it. This must mark a turning point. Where we say: no more loss, no more quieting of birdsong, no more steady trickling of sewage and poison into our waters.” @ZackPolanski

  15. #Burundi: The shortage of drinking water supplied by Regideso continues to disrupt daily life for residents of the town of Ngozi, in Butanyerera Province. For more than five months, several neighborhoods have been without running water. Residents say they are forced to walk several kilometers to fetch water or to buy water in jugs at high prices.

    The decline in water reserves—linked in particular to climate change—has recently led to a decrease in electricity production at certain hydroelectric power plants in Burundi.
