Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy.
Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference.

The volcano near Naples is shaking the ground in a way that scientists say it hasn't for centuries, posing risks for hundreds of thousands of people living in the 8-mile-wide crater left by past eruptions. n.pr/44w8Kox
Italy's Campi Flegrei supervolcano is stirring. Could this seismic giant soon erupt?

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The reason for expanding fossil fuel production is that it is just much more profitable than switching to renewables. The problem is that governments are insisting that private investment should lead the drive to renewable power but private investment only takes place if it is profitable to invest.
