AI6YR BenBrush clearance deadline in our area is June 1st, I believe. It's now 85F, 15% humidity, gusting to 15-20mph, which is (if it hadn't been raining recently) fire weather. We're a good 2 months ahead I think in terms of normal seasonal averages. (I already cleared the area around my own house, moving to the next door neighbors next. Which will help in "Tesla on FSD crashes in nearby field and batteries go on thermal runway, fire spreads to grass towards house" but will NOT help in "extreme city/town destroying wildfire in 80mph winds")
gclef"EVs are already putting a dent into oil consumption worldwide, and as gas prices climb higher, the simple efficiency of an EV could become all the more appealing. In all 50 states, the cost of home-charging an EV is considerably cheaper than fueling a car with gasoline."

How can a business protect itself from accusations of greenwash?
A business measures its success in terms of dollars or euros.
But climate scientists use metrics like tonnes.
No wonder things start to get a bit fuzzy…

VCÖ hält Senkung des Tempolimits für sinnvoll - VCÖ hält Senkung des Tempolimits für sinnvoll
Michael Schwendinger vom Verkehrsclub Österreich (VCÖ) hält eine Herabsetzung des Tempolimits für eine sehr sinnvolle Maßnahme. Sie würde wenig kosten und effektiv und schnell umzusetzen sein, so Schwendinger im Ö1-Morgenjournal. Darüber hinaus könnte man damit auch die Verkehrssicherheit erhöhen.
Petra van Cronenburg@RickGaehl I remember hanging eggs on them in my childhood. Since climate change, they bloom much earlier than even an early Easter in Alsace. Only this year we have luck because the cold with minus degrees conserved them.

We’re told that renewables are ‘sustainable’ and yet they are for the foreseeable future dependent on non-renewable fossil fuel inputs for their manufacture.
We’re told that we are heading for net zero. (Though now not so much.)
What both these framings have in common are absolutes. In an era built on binary switches.
What would be much better is if we are more honest…
