Sooo good. “This is where the decisions are made,” said Christina. “We are living in a place where we have influence, & it’s our responsibility to show up here & to fight in solidarity with all those places where people are fighting data centers on the ground every single day.” With rogue agents!
Today, Stand.earth and local groups dropped by #PNWClimateWeek in Seattle, Washington to see @microsoft.com’s Chief Sustainability Officer Melanie Nakagawa, who – despite the company’s massive investments in fossil fuels – ironically served as the keynote speaker for a talk on climate targets. 🧵

Our actions today will shape Earth's climate until the year 3000. A new study in Earth's Future warns we've entered "Anthropocene quicksand": every tonne of CO₂ sinks us deeper, while only rapid action can pull us out. This is civilisational suicide.
The wildfires in Ontario and Minnesota are a direct consequence of the high temperatures and low rainfall resulting from a major July heat dome event. A year ago we showed that these events had tripled in frequency due to human-caused warming: penntoday.upenn.edu/news/extreme...

As many experience lethal, unlivable heat, it's a good time to remember that there is no such thing as a climate refugee under the law. Climate breakdown was not understood when the UN convention was written. In the US, there is one way for extreme weather to be the basis for legal status: TPS.

The @nytimes.com’s A.G. Sulzberger urges the media to unite and fight back. Big Tech’s “hijacking of the public square is made possible by the original sin that animates their AI products — a brazen theft of intellectual property that has occurred at an unprecedented scale,” he argued:
