Bree and Charm oil up to wrestle with all the ways Big Oil is knocking us out, while making us fight each other. Some have called this "possibly the greatest PSA of all time." (We did, just now.)

We just cracked the strongest El Niño in 1000 years (or ever?) but it’s just another day at the office for the Big Oil execs keeping us from using the abundant free solar energy that would stop this.

Essentially Exxon has just publicly announced their company’s entire business will end life as we know it on the planet within about 20-25 years. Maybe that’s why they did it. 3C by 2050 still seems “far off” & abstract for many. As opposed to the catastrophic 2C we’re facing more & more next yr..

Heat kills 9,000 in the US each year — at least 5x higher than the reported total — but likely even more, and climbing. The 2025 US murder rate was 4.1 per 100k citizens, about 14,000 people. The heat Big Oil caused and lied about for decades is now murdering nearly as many people as all murder.

Big Oil knew in 1954 that their pollution would raise temperatures with "considerable significance to civilization." Then they mislead the public and regulators about the risks of their product for 70 years. The victims in Nepal did not die in tragic act of god, they were murdered by Big Oil.

Just this week, just in the US, we've seen massive fires, a vicious heat dome, treacherous surf, and flooding effecting millions. And there's a lot more to come as El Niño grows. We've now sent more than 4,400 letters urging Governors and state leaders to prepare. Send a letter: elninowarning.com
But the scale and threat of this coming warming event is simply too large to ignore in the name of business/politics as usual.

States, cities, and counties should be immediately:

- reinforcing river banks and lakes against all time high cresting numbers
- increasing funding for fire fighting and rescue
- running geological tests on populated hillsides
- bolstering power grids
- building more tornado shelters, cooling and high ground centers
- increasing life guards and warning systems for beaches
- informing citizens of potentially life threatening increased risk

Instead the signatories of this cry for action see mostly silence and inaction.

In fact, the story that somehow has not become standard is that climate scientists pulled off something that was extraordinary in intellectual terms. They got the basic outlines of what was coming and in many ways even the numbers on what was coming right decades in advance. In any kind of rational world we would be hailing them as heroes and very much listening to them about what we should be doing now.

Of course where we are is that climate scientists are reviled.
