I also have this issue and had to revert to the gas to keep the house warm. Did you get their “hyper heating” one or regular?

R/V Albatross I, 1882-1921 A history of the first research vessel named Albatross.

Before the “golden fleets” of war and adulation, America funded a research vessel that still contributes to our knowledge over 100 years later.

On the upside, at least they either believe climate change is real or just like free energy. Let’s get their voters believe solar is great too.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥

There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️

They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

I appreciate the depth of that answer, however, for the layman sometimes a simpler, but accurate, statement is useful. “IF” we stay on the trend of the last 30 years the summer ice will be gone “when?”. How do I say this for grandma who listens to the media and thinks climate change is a hoax?

If we draw that trend line down from 1950-60 when do we hit zero?
