News journals need more photos like this when reporting on heatwaves. They keep making heatwaves look like a it’s just going to be a wonderful day to be outdoors.

Got to watch a pollinator do its thing today with California poppies.

“This week, 150 trees throughout Carson City are being removed due to a continuing mass die-off and ongoing vegetation decline, adding to the 21 trees and 14 shrubs removed last week.” “tree death is becoming a larger problem throughout the state as a whole.”

"Between 2000 and 2020, total abundance fell by 22 percent, according to the largest survey ever assembled. "That national dip works out to 1.3 percent each year, a slow‑motion slide that rarely makes headlines but never takes a day off."

“A third of Tuvalu citizens have applied for groundbreaking Australian ‘climate visas’ – two of the island nation’s nine coral atolls are already submerged and the archipelago could be uninhabitable within 80 years.”

“Reducing CO2 emissions per barrel of oil (emissions intensity) doesn’t necessarily reduce total emissions.” “In fact, oilsands emissions set a record high in 2023. The oilsands had never generated more greenhouse gases than the 86.5 million tonnes of carbon pollution sent skyward in 2023.”

“findings suggest climate change might well accelerate in the coming years. Worse still, this worrying imbalance is emerging as funding uncertainty in the U.S. threatens our ability to track the flows of heat.” “Typically, models forecast less than half of the change we’re seeing in the real world.”

Another reason why @climatecasino.net is awesome! “All content on this channel is (U) unlicensed. I dedicate any and all copyright interest in this video to the public domain. I make this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and to the detriment of my heirs and successors.”

“So I have learned as a physicist to actually be very, very humble about what I don't know. The thing that I really don't know is what human beings are going to do.” A refreshing bit of reality, followed by the tired “we all need to talk about it.” She just said she is only an expert in physics!

I don’t support techno-fixes as solutions for climate change or collapse. But, this is a decent change that makes sense on several levels. Not a solution, but more of an ethical mitigation. We are omnivores and can do without eating meat or dairy. Just my humble opinion.

This is a lot of fuss to make for those terrible Domino’s Pizzas. People! Have some dignity! Imagine eating one of these crappy pizzas and then finding out that the smoke flavor comes from trees taken from an endangered possum habitat. How low will we sink?

This is wild! A bus and a firetruck just sunk into asphalt that was softened by the heatwave in NYC. Infrastructure collapse hastens with extreme weather. We couldn’t even properly maintain our infrastructure with just moderate weather, but here we are.

I hope that all of the “we just need to have a new narrative to change human behaviors” realize that people like Joe Rogan control the narrative. I believe he has way more influence than all of the so called climate experts combined. Believing we’re doomed seems to be a pretty rational conclusion.

“Things aren’t just getting worse. They’re getting worse faster, We’re actively moving in the wrong direction in a critical period of time that we would need to meet our most ambitious climate goals. Some reports, there’s a silver lining. I don’t think there is one in this one.” Zeke Hausfather

“Those metals can disrupt enzyme systems and neuronal development long before an animal even takes its first breath. “Franciscana populations are already shrinking because of gill‑net by‑catch and habitat loss. Adding in‑utero exposure to contaminants increases the odds of developmental problems”

I don’t understand how climate scientists and experts who say that we need to fight fossil fuel narratives somehow conflate it with doomers. I personally hate fossil fuel companies. Should I be getting a check from the Fossil Fuel Companies for being a doomer? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

(Found by Sam Mitchell) “Jim Skea joined these attacks but the truth is, as current temperatures & their consequences evidence, the doomers were right; the minimising of the IPCC & the likes of Mann had the same disastrous consequences for meaningful action as any denialist corporation.”

“These sites emit an average of 230 kilotonnes of emissions each year, estimate the researchers, far more than the 34 kilotonnes reported in the federal government’s 2024 National Inventory Report (NIR).” INACTIVE!!!!!! They made their money & left this mess for the public to deal with.

“As farmers, we rely entirely on agriculture for survival,” he said, adding, “If water doesn’t reach these fields, many of us may suffer losses.”
