You're going to read about the climate heat using these "normal" words but the temp above too hot, is death.

It doesn't just feel hot, it kills. Thats how hot climate "warming" gets.

"In Palm Springs — where Friday's high temperature was forecast to hit 116 degrees — many homeless people left to contend with the heat on their own.

"I don't know how anyone can do it," he said. "I feel so bad . . . there's not much I can do."

Build sun, wind. All of it, NOW

@kevinrns Normally Palm Springs doesn't open its cooling centers on Sunday-makes no sense to me-but they will do so this weekend. Unhoused can use those facilities. Obviously this is just a bandaid covering two festering wounds, homelessness and climate change. Both are tough, multifaceted problems that can no longer be ignored.

Excessive heat hurts power grids. Excessive use from excessive heat hurts power grids.

Power going out, authorities warn, means "hundreds of thousands" could need medical care. Or worse.

Next year the temperatures will be higher.

The next year after that will be higher, because oil execs and politicians have lied for decades.

The next year, temperatures will be higher.

We have been warned.

We've been reassured, they were lying.

Build all the sun, wind, now.

@kevinrns We really are in serious, unavoidable trouble aren’t we.

There is an attack going on. The best time in all of history to build hundreds of thousands of wind generators is right now, today.

The top best time to build millions of solar cells for the roofs of all businesses and all homes is right now.

Right this minute. Nothing goes up in the past, anything delayed is death and storm.

Right now. Think: Climate Change is a grandmother with help for all of us being beaten by 10 men. We are obligated to work as hard as we can.

@kevinrns We’re apparently doing well with wind. And coincidentally we currently have a lot of wind. Solar could do with a big boost although it is starting to take off.

The *main* problem with this is that no one with the power to do anything about it is the slightest bit interested. Classic NIMBY. Indeed for many of them it is a conflict of interest and £/$ always wins.

We are hoing to get louder and calmer. Calm calm calm. We are not participating, we are demanding. We will walk out. If necessary we will stay out. Calmly. Until it shuts down. Until we are building the new energy system at speed.

No more encouragement, no more incentives, no more carbon credits, no more distractions. Build it all, build enough to make carbon fuels history, un-needed, un-necessay and under ground.

Sun and wind and batteries, now.

@kevinrns Absolutely. We *have* to do this NOW.
