The missing words in the climate conversation are not human-caused climate change, but fossil fuel emissions. By Hayley Fowler and myself: theconversation.com/was-this-hea...

Looking forward to seeing the day when there are too many damn solar panels. Can't be too far off
Whoa 🤯 in Slow-Mo@theguardian.com 🇺🇸 A new 3,000-panel #solar power farm in Colorado is cooling the land and turning a profit as local farmers raise #crops and #livestock. The microclimates of the solar array also keep fresh berries and vegetables from scalding in the summer heat.
