In factโฆ. Iโm guessing you already follow them ๐โฆ. So I will follow who you follow!
It was an epic 100 hours! I appreciate everything you did and are still doing. I look forward to anything you can share. In the meantime it would be great to have a register of all the BlueSky handles of the speakers involved if thatโs available. I would like to follow them all!
Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV ๐บ
"I don't think the average person... even [people] at NOAA don't fully understand the expansiveness of what NOAA does in ALL aspects of the environment."
Full response by John Cortinas (former NOAA Director) on the impact of NOAA's monitoring and rapid response network:

Iโve already learned so much and they are only a couple of hours in!
The Weather and Climate Livestream is happening now for the next 97+ hoursโฆ. non stop!!

Weather and climate scientists determined to resist funding and program cuts in the geekiest way possible - with a 100-hour livestream of science presentations www.cnn.com/scientists-r...
#BBCQT ยฃ400 Billion spending during COVIDโฆ and now itโs mainly the working class and middle class need to pay that backโฆ. What about the uber rich who were the significant beneficiaries of that money?
Turning off the tap not only saves energy but also waterโฆ.
Turn off taps when brushing teeth, lathering up in the shower, etc.
And does anyone take baths anymore?

Still one of my favourite cartoons/ graphics/ comicsโฆ..
Why is everyone so determined to make the world a terrible place?
The byproduct of individualism is neglect of everything that serves the social good. No one being can survive completely in isolation of other beings and nature.
The human race seems determined to kill itself via any means available.
โNow and then itโs good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.โ - Guillaume Apollinaire
Classic! And funnily enough that song came out in the era when food standard deregulation was probably ramping up. (Just an assumption based on who was in government at the time.)
Yep. Sometimes it doesnโt even meet food safety standards in other countries. Americans should be concerned about that. Whatโs more important: profits or peopleโs health and wellbeing?
And people wonder why local residents and environmental activists protest the building of oil pipelinesโฆ.
Enough already
Insanity
Just watched this and now sharing across my networks. What a powerful poetic provocation by Ashanti Kunene. I encourage everyone to listen.
Have a thoughtful Sunday, everyone!

This is shameful.
Prisons should not be for profit. There is something fundamentally wrong with that model.
To all women out there who have had a โMiss Triggs momentโ - & I know that is almost all the women I know - I hear you & hopefully things have improved for all of you. This cartoon in โWomen and Power A Manifestoโ was from circa 30 years ago but it most definitely still occurs in meetings. #IWD2025
Another suggestion: do they understand Dutch? I didnโt think soโฆ Klimaatverandering. ๐
Another suggestion: are words like โvariationโ, โshiftโ, โrevisionโ also banned? Could call it โaverage weather revisionโโฆ hmmm
This is insane! May I suggest using a code word like โIt that shall not be namedโ or โThe Grim Reaperโ or โClimaty McClimatefaceโ? (Actually Boaty may not be happy if you use the last oneโฆ)
#Plastic pollution is a key challenge of our times. We continue to find out about new hazards associated with it - including its impact on #ClimateChange. (See link in comments below.) Hopefully people start to actively help to change the tide and help to eliminate scenes like these on this beach.
#Ash โฆ. Looks like this would be great for building things withโฆ but also at risk.

I would love to hear @garyseconomics.bsky.social & @kateraworth.bsky.social in conversation about the Economy. I have heard them both speak about the challenges of our times with wealth inequality & social & environmental challenges arising from misguided faith in 20c economic theory. #people&planet
Love everything about this project!
Food waste is a top #GHGemissions emitter. In developing countries waste happens in production & elsewhere itโs usually by the consumer. Meanwhile there are so many going without & also young people keen to learn new skills.
