We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.

Happy #OzoneDay! Why don't you get sunburned in 5 minutes and hear about constant crop failures? Congrats to us all for saving the #OzoneLayer this day in history, and to today's Future of Life Awardees for pulling it off: https://t.co/29s3ld3xgz

I was stunned by these parks when I visited for the first time last year. I’d love for my children to have the same opportunity, but I have to ask myself: how many wonders of the world will vanish before we stop using the Earth as a factory? Think of the sequoias tonight.

The KNP Complex grew significantly yesterday. The Paradise Fire has a new acreage of 5,914 acres, and the Colony Fire has a new acreage of 1,125 acres, for a combined total for the KNP Complex of 7,039, with 0% containment. Follow updates at https://t.co/VpxXBv19c4

Deadly 1,000-year floods on the East Coast and in my home state of Tennessee. Neighborhoods blown away in the Gulf. Communities burned to the ground in the West.

This is an emergency and must be treated as such. Now is the time for our leaders to #ActOnClimate.

AMAZING describes DeLand HS TOTY, Jeanne Jendrzejewski. Affectionately called “Senora J,” at 70 yrs. old she shows no sign of slowing down. She also serves as swim coach. Before joining VCS, she taught at LSU for 35 yrs & is a die hard Tigers fan! When I grow up I want to be her!

An entire generation gathered around today to watch a man idolized by the one above them.

Tiger inspired most of today’s field to become who they are.

He might have just done it again.

My “pay” is in options, which only matter if stock goes up & I sell. Will use that to make life multiplanetary, help education & environment on Earth w my foundation. Just don’t want us to be sad about the future. https://t.co/l3YEvjvyuz
