Fossil fuels + biofuels use high levels of water in extraction, production + in energy generation, says IEA. If governments pursue the most ambitious net zero targets, water use in the energy sector could reduce by 20 billion cubic metres by 2030.

Listen to the wisdom of Rev Warnock - it may ease your heart a smidge.
These words demand attention.

“In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock

Take a moment, so much more…

There's no longer any question: it's time to compensate transit riders for what they're going through. These pictures are heartbreaking - people going to evening shifts, home and family, class.

There needs to be a mentality shift. Operating a vehicle that can harm and injure is a privilege that many drivers don’t understand as such. #Carcentric culture needs to die…
The reason why cyclists and pedestrians push back against these types of campaigns is not because we think visibility is bad (I wear hig-viz!), but because it's victim blaming that diverts attention from the real issues: dangerous drivers and poor infrastructure
“Where the built environment separates human skin and bone from lorries, cars, and buses, there is no need for our frantic striving to make fragile bodies hyper-visible”

It is hard to realize this past year that as a trans woman, my views will not be respected, many of my words will be forgotten, my work lost to time more quickly, and many of the things I have said for years will be said by cis men tomorrow who will get the credit and praise for coming up with it.

The word "illegal" is an adjective. Things and actions can be illegal.

NO PERSON CAN BE ILLEGAL

STOP SAYING IT

Hoekstra should be tossed back over the border.

We should purchase from Europe, then "security concerns" are zero and he can FRO.

In the latest back-and-forth between the U.S. and Canada over the deal, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra cautioned that if Canada purchased fewer fighter jets, the U.S. would “fill those gaps” in security concerns.
US warns it will send fighter jets into Canadian airspace if F-35 deal fails
Cost of F-35 advanced fighter jet program has risen by $8 billion in the last three years

“Stories from Kashechewan and other communities are not tales of failure — they are testimonies to community agency and aspiration. It is time for governments to meet that strength with sustained commitments backed by both resources and respect.”
