We can’t survive without bees.
We can’t survive without forests.
We can’t survive without healthy oceans.
We can’t survive without clean rivers.
We can’t survive without fertile soil.

And somehow…
we still act as if humans exist separately from nature.

[David Attenborough @fandom_david]

Canada is on fire.
Europe is on fire.
The Amazon is on fire.
Cities are breaking heat records.
Rivers are drying up.
Other countries are drowning in floods.
Storms are getting stronger.
Seasons don’t feel like seasons anymore.

And somehow…
climate change is still a debate.

Let me explain wildfires and climate change for the slow learners in the back.

More heat means thirstier air.

♦ Carbon emissions trap heat globally.
♦ Hotter air acts like a sponge.
♦ It sucks moisture out of plants.
♦ It sucks moisture out of soil.
♦ Dry plants turn into perfect tinder

Fire seasons are now longer.

♦ Snow melts much earlier in spring.
♦ Autumn rains arrive much later now.
♦ The dry period lasts weeks longer.
♦ Longer dry periods mean more fires.

Bugs are making it worse.

♦ Warmer winters fail to kill pests.
♦ Pine beetles are multiplying rapidly now.
♦ Pests kill millions of forest trees.
♦ Dead trees create massive fuel piles.

Extreme weather creates spark triggers.

♦ Climate change shifts atmospheric jet streams.
♦ This causes more frequent dry lightning.
♦ It also creates much stronger winds.
♦ Winds fan tiny sparks into infernos.

Climate change is the amplifier.

♦ Campfires and arson still start fires.
♦ Human carelessness triggers the initial spark.
♦ But climate change prepares the fuel.
♦ It turns small fires into monsters.

You're welcome.

TRUMP’S LIES, CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE FUTURE OF THE PLANET

The last eleven years have been the hottest eleven years on record. The last three years have been the hottest three years on record. Europe just saw its worst heat wave in recorded history that set all-time heat records in seven countries, killed more than 10,000 people, and caused the worst heat stress ever in half of the continent’s largest cities.

Much of the American west just saw its warmest winter on record, and as a country, the United States just saw its worst spring drought in recorded history. This summer alone we have seen multiple record heatwaves that have exposed hundreds of millions of Americans to dangerous levels of heat.

In both the United States and Canada, this heat and drought is driving longer and more intense wildfire seasons, including the more than 800 wildfires across Canada and northern Minnesota that are currently causing dangerous levels of air pollution for at least 115 million people across 20 states.

Let’s be clear: It is not normal for Detroit, Minneapolis, and Chicago to have some of the most dangerous air quality in the world.

NO, Mr. President: climate change is not a hoax. It is reality. And your ignorance is putting our kids and grandkids at risk in exchange for the short-term profit of your billionaire friends in Big Oil.

Our job: Reject President Trump’s lies and take on the crisis of climate change and the greed of the fossil fuel industry by transitioning our energy system to energy efficiency and sustainable forms of power. When we do that, we cut carbon emissions, reduce energy bills, and create millions of good union jobs.

And, by the way, we save the planet for our kids and grandchildren.

Seriously, you should listen to this

The calmest people I know run every situation through a single filter: "Can I control this?" If yes, act. If no, release. Everything else is wasted processing power.

I’m constantly astonished that billionaires would rather ignore the climate crisis and prepare to live in a bunker with dvds and baked beans than devote a modicum of their bottomless wealth to saving the planet where we have fresh fruit and soft grass and blue skies.

@Nostre_damus Watch Idiocracy on fast forward

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

The President of the United States is asleep at his desk. Again.

Behind him stand seven grown adults in expensive suits, and not one of them is doing anything about it. One is mid-sentence. Another is gazing sideways with the haunted look of a man whose pension depends on never acknowledging what he can see in his peripheral vision.

The rest of the world is watching, and the rest of the world has noticed something. Americans are terrified of authority. That fear has settled over this administration like a fog, and it turns otherwise functional adults into warm furniture. Nobody moves. Nobody speaks. The paralysis is total.

In any European parliament, in any boardroom from Oslo to Ljubljana, someone would have leaned over by now. Tapped a shoulder. Said, quietly but clearly, that perhaps this isn’t the moment. Somebody would have done something, because the alternative, pretending a sleeping man is running a meeting, would have been too absurd to sustain.

Not here. Here, seven men have collectively decided that the correct professional response to the President losing consciousness in the Oval Office is to carry on as though he were a particularly demanding houseplant.

For those of you who say voting Independent & Greens is a wasted vote, spend some time watching these guys in Senate Estimates saving our democracy & holding Ministers & public servants to account. Two of our hardest working, most effective Senators ever.
