That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.
Sure
Happy
It’s
Thursday!
What song is stuck in your head right now?
ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.
Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk:

An astrophysicist and a neurosurgeon concluded that the human brain and the universe basically grow as a result of similar physical principles.
Today’s House of Study goody looks at a myriad of similar connections, with many exquisite photos:
lots of devastation and negativity on the feed today.
i know this won’t solve anything, but maybe it’ll make someone smile and just forget for a small moment.
the beauty of the cosmos 🌌
Legit surprised how many people seem to be enjoying that Glowworm thread.
Y'all will end up with one on HMS Ledbury if you're not careful.
Every time I listen to BBC World Service radio I'm reminded how excellent it is. A comparatively balanced, nuanced, global perspective that we don't get to see much of from many other newsrooms.

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?
From : “Hertling believed that the Mark Thompson-led network was prioritizing certain pundits more focused on delivering politically incendiary—and sometimes misleading—rhetoric than fact-based commentary.“

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054
A key thing to appreciate about big wildfires is that they reach an intensity that humans simply can't deal with. Sometimes they are about 10 times more intense than the best firefighters and planes can fight. Offer as much money as you want: it's too late. www.ft.com/content/540f...
The devastation in California is apocalyptic. The images are heartbreaking.
At least 5 fires continue to burn without containment.
I’m grateful for the bravery of not only the first responders, but every day people who have been helping others, including animals, evacuate to safer locations.
These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.
These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

im sorry for re-posting that television`s ed mcmahon was seen running full speed into one of the fires. that was chinese disinformation
Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part.
Turns out those scenes were almost bang on.
The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.
DEI is the bogeyman for those who believe that if I’m gaining, they must be losing.
The idea that everything would be fine if only white men ran the world is a weak argument—clung to by insecure men who can’t handle reality.
DEI ensures women & BIPOC are looked at fairly IN ADDITION to white men.
Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy.
Please don’t share.
I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.
i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!
