@wblau @RichterHedwig Great to be reading great books! I hope @vonderleyen is also reading “Children of a modest star” by Blake / Gilman - necessary reading for crafting better futures.

It's Oil That Makes LA Boil https://t.co/tGIb6ekpOn

‘The weird thing about growing up in oil country was that I had no idea I was growing up in oil country. I thought we lived in Hollywood.

But before LA became Tinseltown, it was an oil town.’ And, behind concealed walls, it still is.

"If you’re stuck in traffic here, you can curse the decaying diatoms of eons past... Or perhaps it is fairer to blame the oilmen who coaxed liquified fossils to the surface."

Enjoyed this @NoemaMag feature on LA's history of oil production/consumption.

Great piece @JonathanSBlake on the oil past and present of Los Angeles - will the city have a post-oil future? @NoemaMag

“Even after the eventual political and legal triumph over the fossil fuel industry, every oil well needs to be plugged and the whole of Inglewood Oil Field must undergo environmental remediation — an expensive and lengthy process.”⁩ h/t @mmcphate⁩ https://t.co/BOVR57W8F2

I've lived most of my life in the shadow of the Inglewood Oil Field, but didn't give it much thought until recently. In @NoemaMag, I explore the past, present, and future of oil drilling in Los Angeles. (Photo from outside my house this morning)

Nation-states are no longer fit for purpose to create a habitable future for humans and nature. Which political system is?
