@CharlieMcHenry I'd rather snort with derision, than SQL like a pig!

#TechBros gotta Bros, and control as much of vital resources, as possible. So, par for the course.

-Remove #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy from power

@vicfroh The painful fact that .01% control most of the world's wealth, may be the worst self esteem issue ever in human behavior.

-Remove #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy from power

@urlyman And as frightening as it may be - especially for our children - it's probably going to get FAR worse.

#Globalheating will reach at least 1.8C under even most optimistic future, well beyond #ParisAgreement goal of 1.5C, according to UN warns every fraction of temp rise intensifies destructive #extremeweather, glacier melt, ecosystem loss, and island & coastal submersion. Overshooting 1.5C "unavoidable" and despite some progress in addressing the human-caused #climatecrisis driven by #fossilfuels likely in the next few years. It said: "There are no good outcomes above 1.5C"

@firstdogonthemoon I'd rather not speculate on my preferred death as I'm bound to be disappointed. But someone recently had the excellent idea of having their body flung via trebuchet into the head office of a fossil fuel company and that's what I want instead of a funeral. Was it you? I thought was you.

“The question is no longer whether governments understand the (climate change) danger. It is why, despite everything they know, they continue protecting the economic interests that are making that danger worse.”

😞 Oil tankers arriving in Vancouver in record numbers

"July was the first month since the pipeline expansion opened in mid-2024 that there has been more than 30 arrivals in Burrard Inlet

...between May 2024 and April 2026 there were 556 oil tankers that loaded at Westridge, each able to carry 800,000 barrels of oil. Of those, 65 per cent went to Asia (mostly China) and 35 per cent went to the U.S."

https://theprovince.com/news/oil-tankers-arriving-vancouver-record-numbers

"gas prices were a key driver of higher inflation in July...

"global oil prices are persistently high, with no end in sight for the U.S.-led war with Iran, which has disrupted seaborne crude traffic in the region...

"At the same time... the Canada-U.S. trade war pushing up costs for businesses, which could feed into consumer prices over time"

@gerrymcgovern #sheeple endowing #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy, with the future of their children.

Despicable.

Remove the abusers from power.

Worst Climate Change summer we've ever had, a month later the Labour government allows more drilling for the Rich to profit while we're stuck with high bills over the winter.

Burnham has lost the next election and will have to work with Coalition or jus hand it over to the Far Right (and we know which way he'll fall on that, don't we?)

@TwoClownsEating Don't worry, Peter Theil has Argentina's crypto venture covered, in promoting more EU conflict, for the #FossilFuels #Oligarchy.

@ModernMaslow @ZLabe There's consistency across biomes as well.

Consider the increasing fragmentation of more ground structure, due to wilder swings in dry/wet cycles, lending to more flash flooding, along with methane upheaval.

It even reminds me of salinity upwelling in the SMOC. More and more root infrastructure destabilization, with less and less effective human intervention, other than #FossilFuels adding to the #ClimateCrisis.

Pathetic interview from Nick Robinson on #R4Today with Tice.
Zero pushback on the Reform lie that drilling in the UK will reduce UK fuel bills

Great Koala National Park 'dependent' on carbon offsets, but taxpayers will pay 95% of cost

"The NSW Government says the Great Koala National Park is “dependent” on money from carbon offsets. Media headlines suggests the offsets are “worth hundreds of millions of dollars”."

"...Over the long term, taxpayers will pay for 95% of the costs of the Great Koala National Park, while carbon offsets will pay for about 5%. Yet the public is told that it is the carbon offsets that are providing the “real money”, the park “depends” on the offsets."

"Native forests should be protected because of their ecological, environmental and social value. Not because polluters are prepared to throw in some small change." >>

Meanwhile on the #ClimateChange front… The U.N. warns the world is close to crossing a dangerous climate change threshold - is anyone paying attention as the planet burns?

Using the "El Niño-La Niña" terminology makes it sound like normal oscillation and obscures that this year's event is an extreme one (hence many are saying "Super El Niño"), but even so this is one of the most egregious examples I've seen of pretending that we're in a "natural" cycle:
