Oil is the cause, the effect, the weapon, and the vulnerability in our world’s myriad wars billmckibben.substack.com/p/are-the-pe...

Step by step, day by day, Americans experience the big platforms becoming Orwellian political censors. The US needs a federal government that will tax them and break them up; the democratic world needs to learn the lesson and protect itself.

Right in the middle of No Kings yesterday.

This week a white nationalist tried to assassinate a member of Congress and you probably didn’t even hear about it—and a reminder that being an elementary school student in the US is more deadly than being an ICE officer: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/three-shoo...

Is there something scarier than climate change? Maybe it’s an uncontrolled solar geoengineering arms race between nations distrustful of who controls the global thermostat.

Oil is the weapon. The solar panel is peace. billmckibben.substack.com/p/are-the-pe...

No Kings4 Voters and Third Act Wisconsin members and friends!

"We should begin all analyses of extreme weather events from the established physical reality that all events occur within a fossil fuel-altered climate system. We no longer need to question if each event was influenced by climate change."

Companies are losing an estimated $3.9 trillion each year due to extreme heat's impact on labor productivity *alone.* The many other ways heat affects corporate revenue aren't included, so $3.9 trillion is at best a starting point Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

81% of the 2400 stocks in the MSCI's global stock index are already suffering losses due to extreme heat, costing $3.9 trillion every year. There are no safe havens from climate change, not even in a stock portfolio Gift link to my @opinion.bloomberg.com column: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Despite assurances from the Trump administration, ProPublica found the government has turned its vast security and surveillance apparatus against the Tohono O’odham Nation. “The drones flying over us all day,” one tribal member said, “it’s a lot.”
