Inspiring story of how supporting local climate leaders is crucial. Climate denying fascist in charge? All is not lost! Because “75% of the [Paris] commitments that the US made … can be reached entirely without federal support”. Local action counts #ClimateCabinet
Inside the climate group working everywhere but DC: ‘You can still have huge wins’
Climate Cabinet supports candidates in state and city races as the federal government ignores the climate crisis

Not that it will learn much from me, but I turned off the Gmail AI on principle - thanks for the warning. All that CO2, all that dumbing down. All that power in the hands of people we cannot trust. Turn it off.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

YES to this! @katharinehayhoe.com and Greta
Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

Inequality must be tackled as there is sufficient in the world for all. But that needs radical change, not tinkering. Aditya Chakrabortty nails it in this article.
What does the left want? A wealth tax. What will that accomplish? Very little | Aditya Chakrabortty
Imposing a 1% levy on the super-rich isn’t a policy, it’s pantomime. Tackling inequality in Britain will require much more far-reaching changes, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

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 🎬

Good lawfare. Also the Pakistani farmers aiming to sue RWE in Germany.
Norway oil projects face stricter climate scrutiny after court ruling
The case worked its way through European legal systems for nearly a decade before the ruling.

Looking for hope and inspiration? A good place to start is the past. I’d recommend this book for both.

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I do lots of reading and not short of options for what I could do. But a key one seems to be to talk about it (thanks to all who do so much of that already). I’ll try more of that too.
"We are hurtling toward climate chaos.

🚨 The planet's vital signs are flashing red.

The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now."

I fear that the UK government may come to realise that their attempts at appeasement were foolhardy. For a second time in history.

Very nice resource for evaluating rail travel. Type in your nearest EU rail hub and see how far you can get by train in a few hours. (Fun time exploring places you stop at en route to be added as you wish)

Many people who are concerned about climate change feel “isolated and alone” because they have no idea they are part of 80-89% of people across the world who want their governments to take climate action.
