Well, guessing he probably didn't have the covid vaccine or the boosters, and covid is well-known to wreck havoc on almost all organs and system, especially after repeated infections. Sooooo anyways...

Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽😍😍 Tracking of Monarch butterflies as they fly south for the winter ❤️🦋 This is why you care about politics if you care about the natural world: nature recognizes no political boundaries, it is all connected🌏

If she thinks that the Saudis and other states won't fight tooth and nail, and be willing to crash oil prices to get rid of their competition, in order to keep control of an ever shrinking market, she's delusional. No surprise that no private firm will buy into her pipeline🙄

“Solar and wind are now growing fast enough to meet the world’s growing appetite for electricity. This marks the beginning of a shift where clean power is keeping pace with demand growth”-From now on, there will be fewer markets for fossil fuels. Danielle Smith won't admit this

So far, what I'm getting from it is that people want it to work, and really wish it would work, and they think it would have worked for their family member/friend who died...but that doesn't make it work. I feel like they're not listening to the folks who actually had addictions about what worked...

As an internet culture journalist, I think it’s important for me to continue to observe the depravity that goes viral on X, but one of the reasons I’m glad I stopped posting there is because I think it helps me avoid normalizing the rhetoric celebrating the political brutality in America right now

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!

And honestly, most of her songs are boring to me. There is some depth to them, but there's much better writers, singers, observers of the world and the human condition out there...

And even if they were transporting drugs to freighters, surely the US regime would rather get the bigger boat and make a bigger bang, no?? And 100% you can't just kill people either way! Their arguments all look illogical.

This is great! If you don't mind, how did you find this group? ... We have to be welcoming and supportive of people who may be changing their minds, and if we can't be kind, we should be quiet.

This would be my approach as well 👍🏽 I think the US government is doing this or will start to do this shortly...In the end I'll go to other places instead, I have no problem with that.

Having promised to peak emissions this decade, barely 50 years after it began to industrialise in earnest, China looks set to achieve that. And in the process, become a world leader in wind power, solar energy and electric vehicles. theconversation.com/when-china-m...

When China makes a climate pledge, the world should listen

Beijing has a track record of only promising what it plans to deliver. But too often the world’s attention is elsewhere.

By the time you have an authoritarian regime, #science communication is not the issue. To prevent authoritarian regimes, science #education can help. For example, see this great proposal by @katharinehayhoe.com that scientists need to ditch the myth that we should be neutral & stay out of politics

This makes my blood boil 🤬🤬 I have a story from Penticton: at the hospital there (as in many places), staffing shortages have been brutal. Can you blame people for wanting to live in places like Vancouver or Victoria instead? At one point...

That's a pretty decent video. Seems like it's about 4 years old: the number from Norway are a lot better now, around 90% of all new cars sold there are EVs
