This image depicts ramifications of 1.5 degrees Celsius warming worldwide. Greenhouse gases from oil and gas fracking's methane emissions contributes to climate change when renewable energy is cheaper, reliable and emissions-free. Ohio has quashed enough wind and solar projects over the past three years to power the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus. The State Energy Committee, headed by Sen. Brian Chavez, (R-Marietta), who owns gas and oil businesses, sets state energy policy of 96 percent fossil fuels versus four percent renewable energy. (United Nations Image)

Join us! Registration closes April 16.
A reminder that the Vietnam peace talks lasted from 1968 to 1973; the "marathon" Iran talks took place in less than a day.
I think the short attention span of Trump and everyone around him is a part of our trouble.
One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.
This excellent essay from one of our brilliant Third Act Advisory Council Members (and wonderful author) Rebecca Solnit makes for tough but worthwhile reading.
We suggest following it with some browsing of the crowds demonstrating in Hungary, showing a people determined to remove a Trump figure.
YES, as we say, THIS! (Always appreciate David's frank framing of the issues. 😂)
Register today for #GreatOhioClimateMarch May 16-28.
Hike in solidarity with @thirdactoh.bsky.social and those who want Ohio renewable energy-- not polluting natural gas fracked from state parks and public lands. bit.ly/4cg2GDL

Is there really someone (besides DJT) who would look at this and say 'I feel more American'?
Compare it to the Lincoln Memorial, or the Vietnam Memorial.

In a first, renewables beat natural gas last month as solar surges into the grid. @danmccarthy.bsky.social @canarymedia.com: bit.ly/3QeX19D
Gas is on the way out.
Will it be in time to save Ohio state parks, our health and water-- and the planet?

What the Trump regime is doing to the US Forest Service is not a "reorganization"; it's a dismantling. They're doing it in broad daylight, but in the shadow. Help illuminate the shadow: See "What You Must Do Right Now" at end of article and do before it's too late.
