AI Was Supposed to Cut Emissions. Instead, Fossil Fuel Companies Are Using It to Find More Oil and Gas. www.desmog.com/2026/09/30/a...

#ClimateEmergency of course you've never seen anything like this because #ClimateChange #ClimateScience has been warning for decades that you will see #ExtremeWeather worse than we've ever seen in human history. The only fix is #GetOffFossilFuel and accelerate the #RenewableEnergyTransition!

What Eliot Jacobson said: "Your 'moment of doom' for Aug. 31, 2026 ~ IOTTCO "El Ninos are more than 36% stronger than they were before the industrial age began in the mid 1800s, with a 16% jump in just the last 40 years showing that the increase is accelerating..." phys.org/news/2026-08...

As super El Nino strengthens, study suggests that climate change is intensifying El Ninos
A new study suggests that El Ninos—the natural climatic chaos agent that pops up periodically and spikes global temperatures—are getting stronger because of human-caused climate change.

Bloomberg: The EU is actively looking to buy #LNG from non #USA sources, such as Canada, Qatar, and North Africa, to diversify its energy sources. #Electrify and the #EU would be $billions ahead.

$0.30/litre equivalent in my garage, no #GHGs, no #airpollution. The social, environmental, cost of gasoline is estimated at $2+ per litre. So EV drivers should get at least $2 rebate per litre equivalent, and ICE drivers should pay at least $2+ more. You do the math.

Your gas car works fine. Consider an EV anyway, scientists say.
New research suggest that swapping your internal combustion engine for an EV is almost always the greener choice.

El-Sayed, Lawrence and McKinney all won progressive campaigns in Michigan last night by talking about climate and clean energy like it was a kitchen-table issue — because skyrocketing energy bills and endless wildfire smoke matter to people.
