Used to be Enthusiastic about pretty much everything... Then shit got serious - presidents burned rainforests, America elected Trump and WTF is with Boris.

The fires across the West Coast are just the latest examples of the very real ways our changing climate is changing our communities. Protecting our planet is on the ballot. Vote like your life depends on it—because it does.

Police policy reform now.

The president is calling out the American military against American citizens.

He used the military to push out a peaceful protest so he could have a photo op at a church.

It's all just a reality TV show for this president.

Shameful.

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv

Trump, dumb but not dangerous? Introduced Russian asbestos back into US production. Kills beloved Iranian general. Paris agreement. Wake up!

Biggest conservative win since 1987. “for millions of people these results will bring dread and dismay".

Russia is super clever at war.

Two month time-lapse animation of severe Siberian wildfires between June 1st and Aug 23rd, 2019, visualized using carbon monoxide concentrations modeled by GEOS-5.

Fires quickly intensify around 0:25 (~ July 21st).

Let me be blunt:

If we stick to a "middle ground" approach or half measures when it comes to the climate crisis, our children and grandchildren will not have a livable planet.

Those are the stakes of this moment.

As a follow up, I thought it would be interesting to see how much land was on fire using New Zealand for scale. Turns out, 23 New Zealands' worth of land is on fire in the world today. Since getting the dataset, this has probably increased dramatically. #ClimateEmergency

This map shows the locations of actively burning fires around the world during the week 13th - 20th of August, detected by instruments aboard NASA satellites.
In essence, a whole lot of planet Earth is burning right now.

SCIENTISTS: “We’ve produced the first-ever image of a supermassive Black Hole, 55-million light years away”
RESPONSE: “Oooh!”

SCIENTISTS: “We’ve concluded that humans are catastrophically warming Earth”
RESPONSE: “That conflicts with what I want to be true, so it must be false”
