As a LA native, I will live and die for my birthright/the ability to pop outside with jorts and a concert t-shirt with no kind of jacket on at any given time.
However. As a California native. 81 degrees in Pasadena this early in the year is… concerning.
Australia is BURNING
Tuesday’s temperatures reached record-breaking levels in Victoria—49°C—forcing more than 1,000 people to evacuate due to extreme fire danger and leaving thousands of animals without food, water, shelter, or safety. The situation is also dire in New South Wales, with catastrophic temperatures forecast to hit wildlife hard, especially flying foxes whose population is decimated.
You will probably hear nothing about this on the news, but it's happening

You get the idea of the gods are angry?
People in Europe should not forget:
Kill the land, kill the climate.
Plowing under your country for minerals, destroys landscape, poisons you and leaves you vulnerable to the raw physics that ecology moderates and tames.

Even more stuff. That most of the US is being covered by a bomb cyclone, following the most insane which a storm seen in the very very, very long while.
I know that there’s insane weather going on in China, but we don’t get reports of that too much. Usually China has huge sample of the most insane weather events.

Climate change fuelled southern Africa's catastrophic floods
In tonight's edition, extreme flooding in Southern Africa has submerged towns and killed at least 200 people as scientists say climate change will make supercharged rainfall more likely in the years to come. Also, healthcare fraud undermines Kenya's already fragile system. And it is a first in the history of Beninese cycling: at just [...]

I also have been thinking about this connection, it is so damn obvious, but no one in the media is talking about it.
The connection between the rise of authoritarianism, and the deep connection to the oil industry.
It has been obvious to anyone willing to stop for a moment and think... but #TheAmericanFascist, in his infinite wisdom and/or senility, has thrown down the veil.
#Venezuela is about access to #Oil in South America.
#Greenland is about access to Oil and Minerals in the #Arctic.
#Alberta Separatism is about access to Oil and Gas in #Canada.
Deposing the Iranian Regime is access to Oil and Gas in the Middle East. (Get #Iran, and you might get #Iraq too)
And lets not forget #Russia... fighting the #RussiaUkraineWar funded by their oil reserves and all about returning to an old empire in oil-rich Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
So is the fight to end fossil fuel use in order to preserve a liveable, recognizable planet, also a fight against authoritarianism and fascism?
You're damn right it is.

A very brief explainer, why warmer atmospheres create more extreme cold snaps
This quote serves equally well for #Fascism as it does #ClimateChange and indeed so much else. It's well past time we got serious and a great many of us, our leadership most of all, remain as frivolous, under-informed & drastically unsuited to the challenge as we've ever been. #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America

I'm excited to see my non-fiction essay about #solarpunk (co-authored with @ana ) on the #BSFAAwards2026 long list!
Published by @ecologicalcitizen.bsky.social we discuss the mindset shift that solarpunk embraces: that nature is talking and, if we want to live sustainably, we need
to learn to listen.

Meanwhile in #Australia:
Most strikingly, it slashes costs. Because climate mitigation and air pollution control rely on many of the same investments, phasing out coal, improving energy efficiency, & switching to clean electricity, doing both at once avoids duplication. The study finds that achieving climate and clean air goals together costs more than 50% less than pursuing them separately, whether measured in lost GDP or reduced household consumption

In the decade of 1960, ski was a very popular activity across the U.S. At that time, there were about 1,000 ski areas operating in the entire country. Today, this number has drastically lowered and only around 487 ski resorts still operate

Recognize this logo, maybe from a billboard outside your apartment or on a street you drive on? That's one of Jim Pattison's companies — you know, the guy who's doing a property deal with the USA's Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( #ICE) https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ice-warehouse-jim-pattison-9.7061994 — and, lest we forget, the company that wouldn't rent billboards for anti-coal and renewable energy advocacy but happily took money to promote #climateChange denial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattison_Outdoor_Advertising#Accusations_of_climate_change_denial
