Hi. If you see "Biden only gave {tiny amount} to help {issue X} while spending millions on Ukraine" in any of your social media, that is propaganda. It's from Putin's disinfo shops aimed at convincing the west to stop supporting Ukrainian defenses against the Russian invasion.

Entire cities have been evacuated.
14 million hectares of land has burned in Canada this year, easily dwarfing the previous record of 7.6 million hectares reported in 1989 — and the season isn't even over yet.

Carl Sagan once warned us of the “dumbing down” of America. He warned of a time when our “critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...”
That time is upon us. We must do all we can to prevent that darkness from taking hold.
While Baja and Southern California receive torrential rain, a 100 year drought snarls traffic, with 200 cargo ships waiting to pass, through the Panama Canal because there’s not enough fresh water to fill the channel from freshwater lakes.
Climate change will affect us in ways we can’t imagine. We must end fossil fuel subsidies and new drilling now.
