Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, are going to be common occurrences. Flights are going to experience more dangerous turbulence. Most probably, when San Francisco and other major cities get stuck, will reality set in.. #climatecriss #politics #Environment_behavior_change

  2. Today, on #EarthDay, a sobering new report says #US #AirQuality is putting millions of Americans at risk of #health problems. Nearly half the US population — or about 152 million people — breathes unhealthy #air & lives in a county that received a failing grade for #pollution, data shows.

    Kind of embarrassing that others haven't managed to do this; the local California air board eBike programs tend to have a reputation for dysfunction.
