Your periodic reminder that the Republican Party has absolutely no plan to address the climate crisis and that alone should be enough reason to not vote for them.
@PGDynes Have you heard about the line in Saudi Arabia? It connects nothing to nothing and will be a ginormous construction project for tourists. At least there were natural springs in Vegas that once supported indigenous cultures
@davidcharns A black Woman on parole went back to jail for several months after her parole officer mistakenly told her she could vote. There are two justice systems.
27 COPs later and still no declaration to phase out fossil fuels.
This is the power of fossil fuel lobbying at work. The science is clear. We cannot keep expanding oil & gas.
When discussing work/life balance in Spain, a country where people enjoy actual leisure time every day because capitalists have yet to decimate all public life for investor profit, the universal reaction to the average American schedule is some mix of revulsion, pity and horror.
โThe failure of society to respond rationally to the findings of climate science frankly puts my children into direct danger. It would just be really weird if I responded to that like a vegetable and didnโt do anything about it.โ @ScientistRebel1

@vegas_cory@JudyReppart@VictorJoecks@JoeLombardoNV Is it ballot harvesting? Or did the GOP just run terrible, election denying, angry candidates that want to take away rights from women? Where are the solutions? The world is on fire, but letโs focus on banning books and trans kids instead.
This graphic helps me wrap my head around the magnitude of the problem. Notice the amount of current biomass for wild mammals (in green) versus that for livestock and humans. No wonder we have converging crises of biodiversity, fresh water, and climate. https://t.co/bca7h18Sbp
A 2017 study found that lead levels in childrensโ blood increased with their proximity to airports, increased more if prevailing winds blew โ๏ธexhaust toward their homes, and declined measurably in the months after 9/11 (when private aviation was banned): https://t.co/jkHrducUcT
@robinsonmeyer I read somewhere that small, short distance planes will be the first to transition to electric. Is that true? And why not put more focus on that? Obviously less lead is a good thing.
@bernard_gress@democracynow @vanessa_vash We are all better off if we just bite the bullet and make sure the whole world is carbon neutral. We are all in this together and unfortunately many nations done have the same resources to change/mitigate and are also dependent on the system weโve created
@kongkin128@democracynow @vanessa_vash Pay for poorer nations to transition to renewables, and pay for cleaning up damage that has already been done: pollution, toxins, micro plastics, etc
