Replacing a gas stove was "twice as much improvement as with medical treatments of asthma"!!!
Sammy RothInsane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
"Local governments can’t simply dump every new cost associated with climate change onto the property-tax bill." Why do Minnesotans have to pay for Big Oil's destruction? THEY should pay. #MNLeg should pass a MN climate superfund now. www.startribune.com/fossil-fuels...
Rochester mayor: Minnesota cities can’t carry the cost of climate change aloneIt’s time for the largest fossil fuel polluters to pay to clean up the mess they knowingly caused, Rochester's mayor writes.www.startribune.comAs our home burns in front of us, what’s more precious - our lives? Or techlord profits?
Puff the Magic HaterOur built world is not designed for these changing temperatures and sprawling catastrophes, and there is no plan or budget in place to address this. To make what's ahead more bearable and survivable, we will need transformative change and radical redistribution—not fucking data centers.
Cities can lead the way on home weatherization, getting gas out of our buildings, and expanding transit. Our future - our now - depends on it. Glad to see my city council member @sorenwithward8.bsky.social leading on solutions to protect our health and our future!
Soren StevensonI've seen enough! In City Hall, I'm working on transit improvements and decarbonization buildings right now. We know that gas in buildings and oil from cars and trucks are the two biggest sources of carbon pollution. Transit and electrification of buildings are our way out.
Here’s a way we start doing that in MN! www.mnvsbigoil.com

Follow up question: How much do you want Exxon, Chevron, and BP to pay for the wildfires, floods, droughts, and heatwaves they have caused?
David RobertsI wonder, if you polled people, how much extra they would pay each year to have their city *not* be covered in thick, choking wildfire smoke for days at a time. I wonder if that might give you more insight into "willingness to pay" vis a vis climate change than asking in the abstract.
Our lungs are being cooked by Exxon, Chevron, and co

Ely MN is currently at 784 AQI. Meaning no one should breathe outside.
CHAOTIC GOLDY GOPHERthe AQI in Duluth peaked at approximately 942, or if you prefer, 3x the level for hazardous pollution.
Cold clear water. Loon calls that echo the length of a lake. That joy coming to the end of a portage and seeing wide still water in front of you. None of it - none of us - is safe from Exxon, Chevron, Big Oil.
Minnesota Star TribuneWith dangerous heat and several wildfires burning, the U.S. Forest Service is closing the Boundary Waters starting Tuesday.
