I have an obvious bias on this but people who live in states with climate-denying governments do not deserve to lose their homes in climate-driven disasters. This is even true of people who voted the wrong way.
Itās so bad over there. I guess I should be here?

Iām so sorry to report that the wood-burning company I shredded as a green energy joke in ā¦@POLITICOMag is bankrupt. Iāll always treasure the memory of asking their chief sustainability officer whether setting forest fires would be carbon-neutral. apnews.com/article/envi...

I'm sad about the owl, too. But! 1. Overall, cities save wildlife, because they prevent suburban sprawl from destroying habitat. 2. Suburban sprawl isn't driving extinctions either; it's only 1% of our land. 3. If you care about Flaco, and nature, the problem is agriculture. It's 40% of our land.
I have a bunch of thoughts about that owl, but at 53, Iāve finally matured enough to keep them to myself for a few days. For now Iāll just say, with all due respect to the well-intentioned folks discussing bird-friendlier architectural design, thatās not what Iām thinking about.
