Bet that baby is part Siamese!

Had a Siamese who would talk to me all the time. Say anything, ask anything and she would answer you. Always had the last word. Just loved her. She made it to 18.

The US and EU are considering urgent interventions

In the climate red zone, the US and EU are considering urgent interventions



Brown skies over Europe and North America from Canadian wildfires and record “hot” North Atlantic seas are signs that we have reached a new level of climate risk — one that threatens the well-being of nearly everyone on Earth. Threats described in stark terms by the United Nations and by scientific and foreign affairs experts were underscored by global average surface temperatures briefly passing 1.5 degrees Celsius, a threshold for intensified danger, in early June.

In this context, both the European Union and the United States recently released official publications on the need for research on climate interventions with the potential to reduce global warming rapidly. This does not change imperatives and commitments for reducing emissions but is recognition from governments that evaluating options for improving climate safety is now too important to ignore.

I forgot to add: THANK YOU!

People need to read your post and to see more like this.

There are reasons for this heat and they're not going away without humans changing our ingrained patterns of behavior. It's not just about burning fossil fuels.

We've caused this.




Btw, I like, admire, and have met John Kerry.

Question to folks: Do you ever mention CLIMATE CHANGE...

To friends or family?
Do they ever bring it up?
NOT just "weather" but long term "Climate Change"?

I think most people think of this horrible heat as temporary and not a long-term, ever increasingly problematic reality.

Please, enlighten them.

We need people talking.
Only then will we ever see politicians legislating solutions.

Anyone remember Al Gore?

OMG! 😲

That's "one for the record books." A whale of a tale. 🐋


A reminder to folks:

TY.

Not a vegetarian but am trying to spare as many intelligent critters I can. (Eggs and shrimp are my go-to protein sources.)

What escapes most folks is just how intelligent most critters are. (Glad to have grown up on a farm where baby critters were my pets. When you love an animal, you don't eat it.)

Trump is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths!!

If he were a physician, he could be sued for malpractice for spewing the lies that led people to be exposed without protection against the COVID virus.

Indeed!

I get frustrated* with self-protective, silent people.

* Frustration often evolves into hate.

Discussions such as this need to be heard often

If the truth is to ever penetrate the thick, right-wing, Neanderthal-ish bone-barrier. So, thank you so much, Miss R!

Here's Dr. Hansen...

Old news, yes, but thanks for pounding this issue, "Mr. Woodward" Parody.

On edit: As folks have noted, this is a Parody Account on Twitter, but because the message is important, I'm not changing anything but to add this info.
