The oil companies knew about climate change in the 1970s. See article in the link.
Canada is burning. My daughter, newborn & husband fled with fire 400m from their home in a city.
Tinder dry forests fuel fire due to climate heating. And political idiots and greedy arsonist oil & gas friends say we have to "adapt".
The picture is their Kelowna, BC, Canada neighbourhood.

Exxon Knew about Climate Change Almost 40 Years Ago

A new investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote misinformation

Climate scientists fear their predictions are coming true a lot faster than thought: “I used to think, ‘I’m concerned for my children and grandchildren.’ Now it’s to the point where I’m concerned about myself.” @corinnepurtill @latimes #climate #climatechange https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2023-08-18/lahaina-yellowknife-hurricane-hilary-climate-scientists-watch-predictions-come-true

Lahaina. Yellowknife. Hurricane Hilary. Climate scientists' worst fears are here

Wildfires in Canada and Hawaii. Hurricane Hilary set to strike California. Scientists have warned about worse storms and more frequent fires for years.

Gaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They're probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys."

“I will always be on the side of the libraries”: A Conversation with Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman is a fierce supporter of libraries. The author of American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline, and so many more has had a lifelong love affair with reading. And he credits librarians for fostering his curiosity about books and learning at a young age. Gaiman spoke with I Love Libraries recently about libraries, comic books, book banning in the U.S., movies, and more.

#Hilary is forecast to degrade to a tropical storm before it moves over SoCal, but that does not mean decreasing impacts!

Huge amounts of rain are expected to cause dangerous flash flooding and landslides across the Southwestern US, with strong and gusty winds in higher areas.

As a climate scientist who has warned about the threat of climate change for decades, I think the fact that we just saw what was probably the hottest day in recorded history, and probably in thousands of years, is deserving of attention...
