Breakthrough's raison d'etre is to downplay the dangers of climate change for liberal capitalists who don't want to accept we have to phase out fossil fuels in order to halt global heating—even though they know this to be true (see the admission below).

Everything is fairly well plowed from Trillium to Albert, Albert to Bay, Bay to Laurier, and Laurier to Metcalfe.
Between Metcalfe and Elgin the lanes on both sides are filled with snow.
Like, a wall of snow. Even your fat bikes are getting through that. 😃

I am vicariously vacationing through my dad, currently on a conservancy.
I wake up to his sightings every morning, and today it's this lovely pair of rhinos hanging with some egrets, and a group of grevy's zebras.
Zebras are highly unrated. What magnificent creatures.
The world is beautiful.

Kilauea erupted again yesterday in a fierce display. In only the 2nd time in 40 years, park officials closed the area due to the intensity.
Fountains were officially recorded at 500 m high, grapefruit size tephra were being ejected, and tephra fall was measured up to 20 miles away.

Crept up to -26C this morning (-32C windchill) and I headed to the bridge because I had a feeling there would be some lovely hoar frost and I was not disappointed.

Winter storm system brings emergency declarations as snow and ice create unsafe driving conditions and power shortages

Snow, sleet and power outages: 140m Americans under warnings for massive winter storm
The severe cold weather has created unsafe driving conditions on many roads throughout the midwest and southern US today. Sheets of ice are currently coating several streets and highways, causing increasing risk to drivers.
Even after the ice has been cleared away, it often quickly comes back due to precipitation and freezing temperatures. Officials are urging people to stay off the roads. Sgt Ellis from the Tennessee highway patrol posted a video on social media demonstrating the dangerous conditions. Continue reading...

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad.
Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS.
This smoke is from tear gas:

This makes me feel... slightly better? 😬
You probably won’t see ‘Free Solo’ star Alex Honnold fall to his death live on Netflix. For starters, there will be a ten-second delay. But that’s the last in a long line of safety measures in place.

Lots of mixed opinions on Alex Honnold's solo of Taipei 101 today, which will be streamed live on Netflix (!). Many won't know about his non-profit, Honnold Foundation, to which he donates around 1/3 of his earnings. My interview with him for FT HTSI from 2023: www.ft.com/content/fdc1...
Free solar? Alex Honnold’s other mission
He shocked audiences with his outrageous climbing feats. Now he’s bringing solar power to isolated communities
