@LGUSSupport Re: my new leaky LG dishwasher. When I posted a review on Home Depot’s site, LG said to contact HD. HD says it had to be returned within 2 days of delivery. Sears service no-showed twice, and when he came he couldn’t fix it. Please replace!

Final Words ✨

“Last year, I had a life-changing experience at 90 years old. I went to space, after decades of playing an iconic science-fiction character who was exploring the universe. I thought I would experience a deep connection with the immensity around us, a deep call for endless exploration.

“I was absolutely wrong. The strongest feeling, that dominated everything else by far, was the deepest grief that I had ever experienced.

“I understood, in the clearest possible way, that we were living on a tiny oasis of life, surrounded by an immensity of death. I didn’t see infinite possibilities of worlds to explore, of adventures to have, or living creatures to connect with. I saw the deepest darkness I could have ever imagined, contrasting so starkly with the welcoming warmth of our nurturing home planet.

“This was an immensely powerful awakening for me. It filled me with sadness. I realized that we had spent decades, if not centuries, being obsessed with looking away, with looking outside. I did my share in popularizing the idea that space was the final frontier. But I had to get to space to understand that Earth is and will stay our only home. And that we have been ravaging it, relentlessly, making it uninhabitable.”

@Tzeporah As people in the hottest regions see the pattern they will migrate. How civilized will the cooler countries be when many millions try to enter?

His heart might be broken over what our greed is doing to the innocent people whose lives have been ruined. And millions who will become climate refugees if we continue. Pray that he will restore the eyes of the powerful to see & give them courage to act.

@CodeRedEarth Your heart is in the right place. Before putting out your booklet, please study up a bit on what actually changes people's minds. (Facts are insufficient.) See @KHayhoe and others.

Back in 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise.

His solution: Fewer government subsidies for fossil fuels and use of renewable energy.

A common confusion is that to decarbonise, the world will need to produce the equivalent of coal, oil & gas in the form of low-carbon energy.

That's not true.

Most fossil energy gets wasted. In the US, just one-third gets turned into useful services. The rest is wasted as heat.

"The grand project to decarbonize the world economy can be seen as the biggest collective action in human history...But it's also the opportunity of a lifetime. Should we succeed, we’ll be creating a 🌎 w/ better air quality, more green space, healthier ecosystems & less waste."

@dmichaelclary Isn't it wonderful how the Holy Spirit works with each of us in uniquely personal ways, first to bring us to faith, then continually thereafter unto "completion until the day of Jesus."

Huge news for global coal power:

"India plans to stop building new coal power plants, apart from those already [under construction]"

"The draft, if approved by cabinet…wld make China the only major economy open to…significant new coal-fired capacity"

For utility level BESS which is not at the point of generation, are there problems if the BESS is not sited directly next to the substation? ie 1/2 or 3/4 mile? #energystorage #batteryenergystorage

Imagine you are a senior construction executive with experience in very large international projects. You are now CEO of today’s global decarbonization effort whose goals are defined by the consensus around the UN IPCC.

@MichaelRCrane @KHayhoe Ask Exxon. They figured it out 40 yrs ago.

@cafreiman @GlobalEcoGuy How much is “street value” of drugs? How much is seized assets from Russian oligarchs and international criminals? It is meaningless without explanation.
