LOL can't have those homebuyers realizing their Florida home is destined to join the Atlantic ocean and that their bucolic mountain home is at risk of catastrophic wildfire destruction.

I hate the shopping season, but I posted this list of "Disaster Preparedness Stocking Stuffers" it seems like a century ago on Tw*tter, so reposting the list again here:
Disaster Preparedness Stocking Stuffers
It's that time of the year again, where people are thinking about holiday gifts. Although I've never been a big fan of the consumer free-for-all at this time of the year, it is a great opportunity to pick up some disaster preparedness stocking stuffers! Here's my annual list of some of my favorite stocking stuffers that can help you and your loved ones get through the next disaster or emergency.

The political distortion of net zero is an insidious loophole that distracts from the scientific imperative to eliminate the primary cause of our overheating planet – fossil fuels.
Instead of focusing on economic incentives to encourage the rapid phase-out of fossil fuels, climate policies are heavily reliant on feelgood “nature positive” solutions that aim to neutralise carbon emissions by essentially planting trees instead of reducing industrial emissions.

The fossil fuel industry pumped an extra 389m tonnes of carbon pollution into the atmosphere last year by needlessly flaring gas, a World Bank report has found, in an “enormous waste” of fuel that heats the planet by about as much as the country of France.

Reuters: COPENHAGEN/BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Around 2,300 people died of heat-related causes across 12 European cities during the severe heatwave that ended last week, according to a rapid scientific analysis published on Wednesday.
The study targeted the 10 days, ending July 2, during which large parts of Western Europe were hit by extreme heat, with temperatures breaching 40 degrees Celsius (104°F) in Spain and wildfires breaking out in France.
Elisa Morgera, UN special rapporteur on human rights and climate change, urges governments to criminalize fossil fuel disinformation, ban fossil fuel lobbying and advertising, and rapidly phase out oil, gas, and coal by 2030.
In her new report, presented to the UN, she holds wealthy nations legally responsible for the devastating human rights harms caused by decades of fossil fuel dependence.

New research shows Earth’s energy imbalance has more than doubled in the past 20 years, from 0.6 to 1.3 watts per square metre. That means heat is accumulating twice as fast as before. And it’s worse than most climate models predicted.

Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years
Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.The Conversation
I have these two sentences stuck in my head these days:
A French minister: we need to prepare ourselves for a future when temperatures are 4°C higher.
A climate scientist: with a rise of 4°C above pre-industrial age, up to 90% of the world's population may die.

I was invited on the Baba Yaga podcast. We recorded the session last night where I live after walking this #Nature preserve. The hosts got to experience THE WORKING's setting since I based the coven's home on this place. And on finding ways to assure the land thrives amidst #ClimateEmergency threats and human extractive greed.

You know about that canary in the coal mine, right?
When a canary kept inside a cage dies, the miners need to get out immediately. They are in extreme danger.
For us, the canary is coral reefs. They are dying now, at a rate never seen in human history. We are in extreme danger.
Capitalist commerce and industry are wrecking the planet's biosphere, tampering with the food chain that keeps us and millions of other species alive.

"[ @greenpeace ] gave birth to the non-Indigenous part of the modern environmental movement in the early 1970s and captured the imagination of the world by engaging in spectacular and creative actions to save whales in the north Pacific and to stop nuclear testing.

True. We need to keep pursuing activities and changes to stop this trend and reverse it
