A way must quickly be found to rein in the evil lending practices of big banks that have absolutely zero regard for our long term well-being.

#Massachusetts #ClimateActionNow #ClimateJustice The speed with which continued use of #fossilfuel is impacting the climate makes it essential that @MassGovernor mandates No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure. #NNFFI @XRBoston
Societal and structural collapse will arrive all too soon if every state and nation does not halt the further spread of fossil fuel infrastructure. Repost to remind @MassGovernor of the role she must play. @XRBoston

“Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Poland are all facing a major heat wave, with temperatures expected to climb to 48 degrees Celsius on the islands of Sicily and Sardinia - potentially the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Europe” the agency said Thursday.”

Kevin RussellYou'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

One-third of Americans under heat alerts as extreme temperatures spread from Southwest to California
More than 100 million Americans are under extreme heat advisories, watches and warnings as a blistering heat wave breaks records.
US Republicans oppose climate funding as millions suffer in extreme weather. What further proof is needed that they are the “profit over people” party
Dr. Elizabeth Sawin✨Don't look up.
Don't look at the flooding in Vermont.
Don't look at the flooding in Spain, India, or Japan either.
Don't look at the coral forecast
Don't look at the balmy water off Florida.
Don't look at the heat dome in Texas.
Don't look at the Antarctic ice anomaly

Anyone insisting that you “calm down” about climate change is living in denial about the catastrophes at our doorstep.
When you express alarm about how rapidly the climate is warming, the “calm down” crowd will correct you with the most remedial facts. They believe that for you to be so bothered when they are not, there must be a fundamental misunderstanding on your part.
“You do know the global warming temperature is taken from a multiyear average, not single extreme heat events, right?” they will say, like a bemused uncle gently letting the kids know that elephants don’t actually talk like they do in story books.
But be careful. Because by mentioning any of this you are committing the greatest sin there is for the “calm down” crowd: stating the obvious.
So adverse is this group to stating the obvious that after a while, “the obvious” or the “semi-obvious” pretty much never gets stated at all.
The oil industry and their attendant financial institutions’ almost preposterous hold on the government and its elected officials?
An economic system that has nurses paying a higher functional tax rate than billionaires?
A world climate plan that after hundreds of forums, treaties, and “net-zero pledges,” still saw emissions reach their highest levels ever this past year?
All of it risks not only upsetting the “calm down” guy’s well-developed delicate late-twentieth-century aesthetic taste, but worst of all, it might just get “the people” riled up or in the worst of all possible outcomes, actually demanding change and accountability.
