First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels Colombia and the Netherlands will host the First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels. The Conference is designed as a space for countries, subnational governments and other stakeholders...

Dismaying how few Americans know about the first ever international conference in Colombia next week dedicated to phasing out fossil fuels. Even many hardcore climate activists I organize with don’t know much about it.

America Just Shrugged at the Largest Mass Shooting in Years A horrifying massacre in Louisiana can teach us a few things, but first we need to pay attention.

To make this a reality, I think we all need to start using framing that is more active like: “I vow to live long enough to be part of forcing them ALL into Nuremberg style trials and to find them guilty”.

We must all become active participants in history instead of observers.

I thought maybe it was a kind of Schrödinger’s Strait: a watery entangled probabilistic state that is both open and closed until you try to measure or observe it, and then it collapses into a definite observable state.

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

You can't repeal a scientific finding nor can a scientific finding die. Nevertheless, we held a memorial service for the EPA's "Endangerment Finding" at the Region 9 offices of the EPA in San Francisco. A good writeup of our tribute to the deceased is here: insideclimatenews.org/news/1504202...

Climate Activists Stage Mock Funeral for Landmark Climate Rule - Inside Climate News The Trump EPA’s repeal of the 2009 endangerment finding revokes the agency’s authority to regulate climate pollution. Environmental activists are mourning the loss while vowing to resurrect it.

Now do a story on corporate wage threat by companies like Target (which year after year dwarfs the kind of fraud this story is about).

BZ4X lease-holder here. Unless Toyota has significantly changed/updated the Level 3 (“fast”) charging performance of the BZ4X, I recommend considering another model. Using a Level 3 charger with our 2024 model means charging times of around TWO HOURS. Competitive BEVs charge up to 10x faster.

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"

"Nonsurvivable": Today's heatwaves have surpassed our bodies' ability to stay cool A new analysis reveals the deadly potential of six extreme heat events, especially for elders.

“Extreme heat is already creating ‘nonsurvivable’ conditions for humans in heatwaves that have killed thousands and likely many more, according to new research that warns people are more susceptible to rising temperatures than first thought.” Via @motherjones.com #ClimateCrisis #UrbanHeat

Indeed - this wasn’t something that was just members of @srti.bsky.social ! (Though the press output made it look that way!)

People that worked on this for many weeks include the “Lamentors” affinity group, members of @xrsfbay.bsky.social, other SF Bay climate affinity groups and local activists…
