Water from #ColoradoRiverBasin is a huge deal
Reducing agricultural misuse of water to grow alfalfa in Southwest
This is the five alarm fire of misguided policy
It is existential, it is part of our #climateEmergencey
It is everything to do with #energytransition
And the silence is deafening
But this is what is missing from the headlines
It is the water elephant in the room…
Getting real: what would serious climate action look like?

Allegheny County executive candidates will tap donors big and small. How much will money matter?

The race for Allegheny County executive is likely to be expensive. Where will candidates seek donations, and how much will money matter?

Here in California we are getting pummeled by wind and rain. Woke up to my back gate blown out, no power, Well not pumping water and more. Welcome to the climate catastrophe that people keep ignoring. I’m generally a friendly person but if you’re a climate denier…FU. #california #climateEmergencey #climatecrisis #windstorm #cyclonebomb #floods #WestCoastStorms

‘Extreme event’: warm January weather breaks records across Europe

At least eight countries experience record high temperatures of ‘almost unheard of’ heat, say meteorologists

Here in New Hampshire, it was 56 degrees - 30 degrees above normal on 1/1/23. AND we had green grass, NO SNOW, and buds on some trees!

Asshole to climate hero Greta Thunberg:

“Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”

Greta Thunberg replied to said asshole:

yes, please do enlighten me. email me at [email protected].”

Greta Thunberg ends year with one of the greatest tweets in history

Thunberg’s funny exchange is a reminder of the connection between machismo, misogyny and hostility to climate action

The Guardian

Nothing less than total economic transformation is necessary now, meaning a move beyond the infinite growth model of capitalism to the sustainable model of degrowth. It is up to us, as part of a movement of movements, to normalise this idea, rather than the competing fantasy that technology and geoengineering will eventually save the day.
