Records come and records go. But this is one for the ages. The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.23°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This crushes the previous daily record set in 1982 by over 1.14°C. The Climate 8-ball is looking up.

By allowing rapists to run this country with impunity, we encourage this sort of horror at every level of society.

There are a few things happening here from my perspective. One, the EV subsidies are gone. Second, pple are realizing that EVs are another scam (cars in general are a scam). Third, pple havent yet made the leap from "cars!" to the real solution:Better designed communities and public transportation.

🌍⚠️ A UK intelligence report links climate and nature loss directly to national security. It warns that collapsing ecosystems could increase risks of food shortages, migration, conflict and economic disruption. Showing how climate change is starting to be treated as a security and resilience issue.

Why is the UK’s suppressed climate national security report significant?

Warnings about the catastrophic effects of vital ecosystems collapsing were not published under previous prime minister

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power. Remember this.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Reality doesn't care about your ill-informed opinions or beliefs. Gravity exists whether or not you 'believe' in it. Climate Change is happening whether or not you 'believe' it. Science is completely indifferent to what you choose to believe.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

This was Colorado's hottest summer on record, and it wasn't even close. Average statewide temp of 69.4° beat the old record (2012) by 0.7°, a wide margin. It was also Colorado's hottest August on record, and it's our hottest start to a calendar year on record as well. #COwx

What impact is this having on #NewMexico? Anyone in #NMwx? We are absurdly warm in Taos for September. It feels much more like July. We are 6-10 degrees above normal in the day and 10-12 degrees at night here at my house. And it just wont stop. Monsoons were pretty much non existent.

The real "labor day" around the world is May 1. And it was originally here too. But as the international workers movement grew more powerful and linked with the new idea of socialism, America's corporate masters got worried. And separated our labor day from that of the rest of the world.

I honestly dont even think about that. Sure, for the religious crazies but I believe the pro-life nuttery in the GOP was mostly driven by political expediency. They saw a divisive opening, sought to drive that wedge, and gain votes. To make a deal out of nothing. And they largely did it.

As a HS teacher, it AMAZES me that school districts spend money on this crap but wont bother spending money to hire more teachers, to reduce class sizes and increase performance. We know what we need to do for our kids and we choose to never do what we should. It is insanity.
