We desperately need this here in the U.S.! It's about time we became a real, serious, advanced, civilized country like Canada, instead of the butt of jokes around the world like the U.S. currently is. We need to stop the greedy, corrupt, murderous fossil fuel industry from lying about climate!
After lying to generations of Canadians about #Climate, #BigOil wiped its websites & socials in the face of #BillC59, Canada's new anti #Greenwash legislation. Here's #CAPE's Dr. Leah Temper & Dr. @jvipondmd.bsky.social on the big win & what comes next PODCAST: www.podcastics.com/episode/3117...
Meet the Alberta-based activists behind Canada's anti-greenwashing bill
I do not have the bandwidth to blog a full rejoinder to Zeynep's latest NYT piece. So I'm gonna write it as a quick thread instead. Her thesis is that the effectiveness of mass protest (particularly campus protest) has waned, and social media is the main culprit. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/21/o...

A maybe timeline cleanser for those that need such. Photo taken at my almost true north facing home. The ground shown abuts the front eastern side of the covered bungalow porch. (The bishop's/goutweed, Aegopodium podagraria, is an ongoing headache for this work-in-progress rewilder.😓) 🟢
We have one here listed by USACE as "likely...catastrophic failure" which our ConCom has persistently made clear to our Mayor & City Council, yet they'd rather keep focusing on new shinier projects. When it does fail...those same officials will wring their hands wailing, "How did this happen?!?"😑
Another casualty of climate change—our country’s aging dams. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/28/w...
The authorities were evacuating people downstream from the Nolichucky Dam, warning that a breach could cause deadly flooding.
