Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused #climatechange. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of #climate change.

@petergleick Ultimately, we started the path to the end of our civilisation when people could acquire wealth and power. And corporations like lumbering slow changing behemoths that are beholden to shareholders and actually not allowed to care about anything else. It is all insane.

@petergleick I'll never forget a science teacher who explicitly told me he was legally required to show us propaganda that claimed global warming was a natural phenomenon, actually, said to us after the film when kids regurgitated other propaganda pieces they saw, "Even if warming is just part of a natural cycle, you can't convince me that all this crap we've been putting in the air is doing nothing."

We burn fossil resources to immolate the natural world. The global supply chain exists to cannibalize the planet

The most beneficial and climate resilient measures are the least expensive: walkable communities and localized farming. Restoring water basins achieve multiple things at once: resilience, decoupling and a safer, healthier, more prosperous, and affordable community.

Soil is the climate.

@petergleick its getting ridiculous now, world leaders have been absolute failures on this. Frankly there will have to be a climate war to stop planet destroyers like Trump and friends.

@petergleick it’s time to go back to calling it global warming, folks. “climate change” was a big oil psyop
