Rain! Real rain.
After three and a half months of drought, our village has rain at last.
It is very heavy rain. The roof-fed barrels and cisterns filled in an instant.
The plants are saved. And no more wildfires for a while.
Gratitude!

Then there is the pure therapeutic benefit of observing nature in action away from the hubbub of questionable human concerns.

Take a couple of minutes and watch this beautiful video from the folks at #cbssundaymorning.

The cruise ship industry mislead tourists with false claims that ships use green energy with “zero emissions” while in port. In fact, instead of using "shore power" while in port, cruise ships continue to burn diesel and emit large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

‘Greenwashing’ cruise ships burn diesel despite energy vow

The question is, are #racists manipulating #oligarchs by agreeing to #MassPoverty and climate change to leverage their political power to further #WhiteSupremacy, or are oligarchs manipulating #racists by agreeing to White Supremacy to leverage upward wealth distribution and indifference to #ClimateChane?
Tis a #puzzler

The majority of North America is experiencing some kinda of smoke from fires, and air quality issues. This is fine, it's fine, totally normal. #fire #smoke #ClimateChane #ClimateEmergency

The EU ETS carbon price has risen to €97.47/t CO2 eq.

The fine for emitting a tonne without an allowance is €100.

Time to increase the fine!

Also time to include extra-EU flights, and shipping, include imported embedded carbon, the half of emissions not covered etc.

Took advantage of the warm weather (another 60F day in February?!) for a King Tide bike tour of Dorchester and Boston Harbors to see the effects of the new moon high tide. Surprisingly minor flooding on Morrissey Blvd, I think the strong offshore breeze helped. Tenean Beach was a lagoon. #boston #bike #climatechane
