What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

"Beijing also did not commit to buying more Canadian petroleum and liquified natural gas in the MOU signed by energy and natural resources minister Tim Hodgson."

Wow. Shocking. The country leading the world in renewables doesn't want more fossil fuels. /s

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

The amount of time I've quoted, shared, and even duped this comic's first panel as my personal MS Teams background without ever knowing it was a full 6-panel comic, that it had a title, and that it's 13 years old today!!! 🎉
Happy 13th birthday to the most essential artwork of the current era, @kcg.bsky.social ‘s “This is fine,” to all those who celebrate.

So the current president of the United States captured an 'illegitimate' president of Venezuela and now plans on *checks notes* legitimately governing Venezuela in the interim.

Got it.

Really good read. Incredibly insightful
A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Tfw what you, and many others, have been screaming about finally gets traction: "a big and growing number of countries recognise that a managed, collectively navigated route to fossil fuel phaseout is preferable to the chaotic absence of planning we currently have"

Had a shockingly great conversation with someone on Instagram on a video touting the classic white fragility arguments associated with the right-wing talking points that there's some kind of racial agenda for domination (-which isn't to say that I'd necessarily disagree if there were...)

So I joined Bluesky, followed about 760 environmental scientists, activists, and science communicators, but my feed has been inundated with nothing but the ruin of America.

What's happening in the climate change world? What's happening with Biodiversity? Can I get back to those topics now?

Hi everyone. Just a reminder that it's okay to not be okay.

I'm overwhelmed by everything and very much LIVID at what's happening.

Things are bad and unprecedented.

Know I love you all.
Science is real.
Trans people deserve life and happiness.
Your feelings are valid.
YOU are valid.

"The basalt should absorb
and trap in the majority of the radiation to the local area." Pardon?? I guess I'll tell my groundwater monitoring coworkers they can chill - the basalt is absorbing most of the radiation anyway.
Men will do anything to keep using fossil fuels.

This paper proposes to use nuclear bombs to blow up the seafloor to increase alkalinity and take up atmospheric CO₂. What could go wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
