Wonderful talk. Thanks, @katharinehayhoe.com!
Saw @katharinehayhoe.com speak in Calgary tonight.
Her message:
• You are 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 in climate anxiety.
• It is 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭.
• Most people 𝘥𝘰 care — just don’t know what to do.
• Talk about it.
Bonus: CCUS & DAC = niche last-resorts, not silver bullets.
Extra bonus: she complimented my SDG pin 🤓

I had an excellent call with President von der Leyen about the road ahead for Canada-E.U. trade.
Canada and Europe are strong, reliable partners. In a shifting global economy, that matters more than ever. We’re ready to secure new transatlantic business opportunities together.

Bad actors are now working hard to turn BlueSky into another Twitter/X cesspool. Don't let them!
Beware--there are more and more of these inauthentic accounts flooding to BlueSky now. They pose as climate doomers but are actually doing the work of polluters by attacking climate advocates and dividing the climate advocacy community. Block and report them when you encounter them:

This week, I shared a video explaining how exposure, vulnerability, and climate all contribute to heartbreaking disasters like wildfires.
Here & on IG, it was widely shared with many constructive comments.
On Threads, almost no one saw it.
On X, I received over 300 troll comments, including ⬇️

2020 was rough: the pandemic, racial violence, wildfires and storms, politics—and, most earth-shattering for me, my youngest brother died. I felt surrounded by death, and I wanted more life.

My favourite pillow is super flat and probably as old as I am. I use a pillow protector + pillow case, and wash it every once in a while, and it’s not going anywhere. 😎

the gradual replacement of “exchanging money for goods” with “exchanging money for a license to use goods as a service” has been one low key one of the worst changes of the 21st century
this is exactly why i still buy discs in 2023. it's crazy to think that we are reaching a point where piracy will be the only option to own media once dvds and blu-rays are gone.
