FP doc in Colorado Springs. Concentrating on climate change, plastic pollution, and habitat destruction now that my planet’s triaged to critical care

He made a glaring group to individual attribution error. And the proapocalypse group he describes doesn’t even include you. I don’t think he’s read or listened to your extensive work aimed at limiting climate change to the fewest possible tenths of a degree

In this case, apparently he’s accusing me of supporting a perspective that I explicitly reject, and regularly speak out against to the Christian community. I say “apparently” because I have a hard and fast rule not to read the comments - or in this case, listen to the podcast 😄

US tariffs do NOT include oil or gas, implying that even in escalating trade wars there's desire to keep the fossil fuels flowing. Meanwhile a record-breaking heat dome envelopes the lower 48 states and massive wildfires burn in TX, all exacerbated by a changing climate due to burning fossil fuels.

Canada Fires Back in Trade War Against Trump With Up to 50% Tariffs

Canada said the higher levies, on items from aluminum foil to dishwashers to fish, would help protect workers, producers and manufacturers harmed by new Trump tariffs.

The Supreme Court decision today threatens to allow mischief and uncertainty in our elections. We will continue to protect Colorado’s gold standard mail-balloting system—and that means we will be back in court challenging this unconstitutional action. My statement 👇

Colorado Springs - are you concerned about another 100-200 megawatt project that "look and feel" like a data center rushing forward without the meaningful public input promised by the Mayor? email public comment to drew.foxx@coloradosprings.gov on Project Primestone ASAP.

Developers have proposed a project with striking similarities to a data center, though they say it is not one – and the project may qualify for urban renewal tax incentives that divert money from the City, County, school district, water district and libraries. pikespeakbulletin.org/news/project...

Climate optimists say we need to give the public hope. But they’re wrong. The public has plenty of hope. They hope they don’t have to be inconvenienced with all that annoying global warming stuff. They hope they can continue living their best carefree fossil-fuel-intense lives.

Subsidizing and keeping DC and similar nuclear plants open in the face of overwhelming S+W growth not only wastes huge amounts of much-needed energy but is also clearly responsible for rising electricity prices.

Shocking data. In April and May, 2026, 89.2% and 85.0%, respectively, of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant's electricity output, was wasted since its inability to ramp forced the curtailment of that amount of solar and wind output on the CAISO grid.

The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.

Your 'moment of doom' for July 16, 2026 ~ Stormy weather. "the areas without irrigation are particularly hard hit, as agriculture there has always relied on normal rainfall in spring and summer, rather than a complete lack of rain." www.swissinfo.ch/eng/climate-...

Italy plans to ask Switzerland for water for its farmlands

The Piedmontese government plans to ask the Swiss canton of Ticino to increase the volume of water supplied to the region.

I’m so glad you guys are still around preserving data that’s more needed now than ever before. You’re shining a light where the regime wants darkness
