Just a quick reminder that as of 2025, there's legal precedent for taking big polluters to trial using attribution science (the process of establishing a clear causal link between a specific climate impact and a specific polluter)...... https://www.imperial.ac.uk/stories/polluters-on-trial/
Polluters on trial: How climate science is rocking the courtroom
Attribution science is enabling climate victims to sue the world’s top polluters for damages and the first successful case may not be very far away, writes Chloé Farand.

Something has welded together the leaves of a young birch tree (that grew without being planted) to make a cocoon-like home for itself. That's the thing with rewilding: being *ecosystem* centred, it benefits 1,000s of different organisms and, just as important, all their interconnections. 🌍
CNN doesn’t understand even the most basic of economics. It’s time to treat them like the uninformed idiots they are. Inflation never stopped anyone spending - it eroded what the spending *can buy*. How stupid can people at CNN be?

Anon plz: ANC 8A Commissioners w/ MPD are holding a march to "take back" Minnesota Ave from their own constituents. They do not like these residents because they are housing insecure, hang outside, & receive social services from multiple orgs. They purchased bullhorns to “clear out" their neighbors.
Just witnessed ICE interrogating a delivery driver in DuPont Circle, Washington DC. Feels like chengguan (urban management agents) harassing street vendors in China. There will be reckoning for this cruelty and lawlessness.
That moment when DHS and ICE arrive in your neighborhood and you find out the Fire Department probably aren't your friends. In the Brookland neighborhood of Washington DC.
2. What was happening? Stopping every car, or random? Specifically targeting mopeds? This post just conveys “everyone be careful” without giving people enough information to assess their risk level. 3. Same about not including info on which agencies. MPD vs ICE is a big difference for some people.
Visiting the white house is the latest trend in disaster tourism, change my mind #WashingtonDC #PhotoSeries

Orcas, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find Jeff Bezos' $500M super-yacht. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.
To no one's surprise, UK newspapers are full of truly dreadful - and, at times, outright bizarre - "reporting" of the Climate Change Committee's new carbon-budget advice. For a sane and nuanced summary – with lots of charts - here's our detailed coverage... www.carbonbrief.org/ccc-reducing...

Just a reminder that intentionally trying to break public transit, as Cuomo did, is a climate crime. NYC does not need a climate criminal as mayor. (We also don't need a sex criminal or the kind of criminal who messes with fire codes for favors from foreign governments.)
Kendra "Gloom is My Beat" Pierre-Louis@kendrawrites.com · 2y agoYou should have to live here full time for at least five years straight before you can run for mayor. It seems like a minimal requirement. Cuomo *hates* nyc. When he was governor he constantly stole from the MTA budget. He hates the subway.
