We’re barreling toward climate collapse. I’m terrified. I find hope in imagining what a different future could look like and understanding how we can still avoid the worst outcomes.
It’s almost like we actually want the world to end.

When will we force our political leaders to take action?
Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today:
"it is unimaginable that any month in the last few thousand years, maybe 100,000 years, has more [Precipitable water] in the atmosphere than August 2026."

More water vapor means more rocket fuel for extreme rain — so this record is not good news

So far.
NOAA just announced that this summer was the hottest on record in the United States.

So far.
Eventually, the ability to work outside will be extremely limited to only certain times of the day in certain times of the year due to the heat. Unless we push our political leaders to act.

It’s time to hold the guilty accountable.
The planet isn’t dying.
It’s being killed.
And the fingerprints are on fossil fuel contracts, deforestation permits, and plastic production lines.
We still have time to stop the crime.
Act like it.

Did you know you can likely get electricity from a renewable energy supplier using your current utility company? I just switched suppliers. It took minutes and for an average $11/month increase, I get to support renewables in the U.S. Consider searching for a renewable energy supplier in your area.

If we talk about GDP growth in a structurally declining economy that overconsumes and overharvests non-renewable resources and destroys nature, we should at least ask if it benefits most people.

"Wealth inequality is greater than income inequality (...) Of the US$280 trillion of new wealth created globally between 2000 and 2024, the top 1% gleaned 41% while the bottom 50% got less than 1%."
Wealth inequality is also a Nordic problem.

Why we need an International Panel on Inequality
Disparities in income and wealth are growing. A scientific assessment process can give governments the information they need to tackle them.

Political leaders that are willing to speak about the climate crisis honestly need to be elevated! Now is not the time for platitudes. We need action!
Straight talk, no bullshit from @greenparty.org.uk leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social Hope he gets elected to Parliament where Labour leaders will be held to account for their silence and failed policies.
THE REPORT THEY TRIED TO HIDE.
Empty shelves.
Water shortages.
Food security at risk.
The government cannot keep hiding the scale of the threat. It must release the report in full and act on it.

Our leaders will continue to lie until the bitter end to protect their power. They would rather rule over ashes than risk upending the status quo. We must be bold in demands for immediate climate action.
Zack Polanski rings the alarm on the security service report in food security impact of climate change. Starmer tried to bury it. Burnham still sits on it. Only the Greens are bold enough.

We can all stand up together and fight back or we can keep going further down the road of fascism and ecological collapse. Those are the only two options.

Solidarity with our farm workers they were already doing some of the hardest work and now they have to do so in the deadly heat. The time push for change in the United States energy policy is now!
It's hot. After last month's historic heat wave, many CA temps will be in the 100's again. Remember the farm workers out harvesting the chilled snack you're enjoying. #WeFeedYou

And it’s only going to get hotter until we force our government and business leaders to act. The climate crisis is here. The time to act was yesterday, but today is the next best.
This was Colorado's hottest summer on record, and it wasn't even close. Average statewide temp of 69.4° beat the old record (2012) by 0.7°, a wide margin.
It was also Colorado's hottest August on record, and it's our hottest start to a calendar year on record as well.

Record heat. Deadly floods. Vanishing ice. Collapsing ecosystems.
We don’t need more warnings.
