I love how my former neighborhood is now the stock photo that pops up if you google disaster 😧 (not your fault Sean).
Sean CastenClimate change is an “everything” problem. Wildfires, floods and heat waves of course. But also waves of human migration and financial crises for homeowners, insurers and banks. The human pain is real, but ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. thehill.com/opinion/ener...

I think we know by now.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhDThe goal of the battle over the origins of COVID19 is “to sow distrust in science and scientists”. This article shows why experts believe that this was a spillover event and not a lab leak. The maps showing the cluster of the first cases around the wet market are old school Epidemiology. Solid.
And blame Fauci rather than prepare for the next pandemic.

JRK Jr. wants Americans to eat more beef. Many Americans eat too much beef already and for a supposed "environmental lawyer" he should know that beef production is a major climate change contributor.
Dr. Jonathan Foley🤯🍔 Did you know that producing *one pound* of beef releases as much greenhouse gas pollution as burning 25-50 pounds of coal? And producing grass-fed beef is even worse? We gotta rethink our high levels of beef consumption...

Push for cleaner energy now.
EuronewsDespite several setbacks to electrification, Germany is expected to phase out coal much faster than originally planned.

Are we just going to let stupid win? Because I think we are letting stupid win.
