Voting in the Senate in Victoria? Keep numbering till you get to at least 11 to ensure you’ve numbered the smaller parties competing for the sixth senate seat with One Nation.
Many how-to-vote cards suggest only six. But that’s a minimum not a maximum. Visit VoteClimate.net.au for other states.

This from @kevinclimate.bsky.social was, according to the senior editor at The Conversation, "too polemical."
I don't know about you, but I see a piece that's forthright but transparently referenced, and critical of the status quo. Maybe the latter is the nub of it.

gml.noaa.gov is now non-functional. This is the site that I would go to every month to get updated GHG data for my graphics.
I'm not sure if scrippsco2.ucsd.edu will have access to the CO2 data, or where I will get CH4 data.
I made a local backup of gml last week in anticipation.

A disaster is a function of three things: the hazard itself, people's vulnerability to the hazard, and their exposure. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social explains eloquently how the LA fires are a perfect storm of all three. Read more:

California’s fire season has lengthened considerably in a warming climate, which has increased the overlap between “critically dry vegetation season” and the Santa Ana “offshore wind season” (Oct-Jan). A hotter climate also dries out vegetation.
