If you're still cheerleading for all things you should at least know what you're cheerleading.

The prime reason played the cynical, greasy tactic is he *REALLY* doesn't want you linking how badly is ALREADY destroying the Canada we know & love with his near daily efforts promoting a BRAND NEW PIPELINE that is GUARANTEED TO MAKE IT ALL WORSE

The American writer Kurt Vonnegut had a different take in his Address to the Graduating Class of Bennington College in 1970:

"...I wish I could bring light to the end of your tunnels today. My wife begged me to bring you light, but there IS no light. Everything is going to be unimaginably worse, and never get better again. If I lied to you about that, you'd sense that I'd lied to you, and that would be another cause for gloom.We have enough causes for gloom."

I must say that, since having read that in 1974, I think he has been largely correct. His remedy, such as it was, was "skylarking," which he said means to have "an intolerable lack of seriousness" in US Navy legal parlance, where skylarking is a punishable offence. So while Tisdall's option remains my preference due to my perceived lack of choice, I also urge skylarking upon you. More skylarking. Enjoy life.

Posted to provide a record of many of the crappy things we face right now, in one lump, so that we have a reference point. You'll thank the Guardian's Simon Tisdall for this later.

Tisdall has a simple remedy. What do I know He may be right. Nobody else seems to have a better idea.

Ordinary people of the world, UNITE! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

hurricane marie brings rain to southern california as bulk of storm remains offshore

Drought in Uganda is becoming so devastating, water sources are failing. Farmers have watched their months of hard work die under sun.
One of the most affected farmers is an old man four children to feed whom we have been supporting with seeds . Watching his crops die left him with no hope of feeding himself and his children.
We need $234 to help get him food for months until he can be able to grow his own. Any boost and help makes an impact

More than 10 million dead trees are standing like tombstones along Americas Atlantic coast scientists mapped vast ghost forests where seawater is creeping inland and turning living woodland into salt marsh

As sea levels rise and saltwater intrudes on freshwater forests, millions of dead trees are reshaping America's coastlineand revealing how quickly climate change can transform an entire ecosystem

An Australian solar farm has shared its rows with 1,700 merino sheep for three years, and the farmer says the fleece tests on wool growth, weight and micron came back better than his open paddocks while the sheep replaced the mowing the operator once paid for six times a year

Are we running out of time to fix climate change

Hot tip:
You can be "committed to reducing Canada's emissions and achieving net-zero by 2050"
****** OR *******
You can build another DEADLY pipeline for the skunks
But you can't do both
This is the government LYING to you about .
Again.

"A statement from Canada's environment minister said Canada remains committed to reducing its emissions and achieving net-zero by 2050."

That heat wave in Europe was a contributing factor in the death of my friend.

He was about 80. People may say shit about how these extreme weather conditions are merely taking out people who were already old and had other health conditions-- vulnerabilities, dammit, but the smug jerks never call anyone such a sympathetic word as "vulnerable" when they're writing folks off as expected and expendable losses, that might suggest the elderly or sick or disabled etc need protection-- and yeah he had a very long and full life, but you know what

It would've been really nice if his wife could have had a couple more years with him after their honeymoon, instead of a WEEK.

Soil people, would it be right to say that people imagining that northern latitudes will receive a bounty from global heating are foolish fantasists

In the sense that land that has relatively poor soils due to millennia of frigid conditions does not suddenly become bounteous

Some good news:

Canada announced a $3.8 billion funding plan to restore wetlands, forests, and other ecosystems that protect biodiversity while helping communities adapt to climate change.

If there was any time could make tough decisions to fight or at least not go out of his way to make it worse then that time is now.

Over the past five years, approximately 80% of the economic losses caused by heavy rain in South Korea were not covered by insurance, leaving individuals and local governments to shoulder the burden

The answer, at present, is a roughly $50 million project to lower the water level of four glacial lakes in the Koshi and Gandaki basins. But scientists who have studied those lakes say the work, as currently conceived, will not make the downstream settlements safe

But iron and steel production has come under direct attack during the war. Strikes on Iranian plants in Isfahan, Sefiddasht, and Ahvaz, as well as a plant in Bahrain, have damaged or destroyed more than 10% of global direct reduced iron (DRI) capacity. While none of the targeted plants had low-carbon projects, the war could still have major impacts on prospects for decarbonising the industry

The report also explores how rising atmospheric temperatures allow air to hold more moisture, compounding extreme heat with catastrophic deluge. From deadly heatstroke spikes to mass airport strandings and flash floods, Japan's climate challenge is growing
