I agree with climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe! Every day should be Earth Day! 🌎💚 I took this quiz from her newsletter. If everyone lived like me, we'd need 2.2 Earths. 😳 Better than 5.5 Earths of average Americans, but I could do better. You? footprintcalculator.org/home/en

What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

If we want to be effective, we need to stop giving these people our money.

AOC is the only elected official who walks into Congress like it’s a battlefield, armed with facts, common sense, and zero patience for BS.
Fearless, sharp, and always ten steps ahead—exactly what politics needs.
And that’s why they are terrified of her!

Our read of the evidence is similar to this paper: even with ambitious demand-side efforts (minimize food waste, shift high-meat diets toward plants, cut biofuels) there is still an “inescapable need for yield increases” to feed 9-10 billion people while halting biodiversity loss and climate change.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
"every fraction of a degree matters" is true as hell. In the same way that releasing CO2 hurts people and planet, avoiding its release saves us from potential harm
This isn't some saccharine 'hopeful' message: it's the hard, inarguable physical reality.
