India's heatwave is the longest ever to hit the country, the government's top weather expert said Monday as he warned people will face increasingly oppressive temperatures. Parts of northern India have been gripped by a heatwave since mid-May, with temperatures soaring over 45 degrees Celsius. "This has been the longest spell...
#Climatechange is the #1 threat to the world, so we need leaders to phase out FFs & mitigate CC. You wouldn't know there's a problem bc conservatives refuse to address it (owned by FF cos.).

RW #Media & groups step up the lies & #disinformation, but thankfully for Dems, they're losing their touch. Their judgement is misguided. Dolly is universally beloved, esp. by Gen X & seniors & Gen Z & millennials are concerned about #climatechange. Defending #TFG is⬆️fraught.
The Federalist on 6/6:
"Dolly’s right that all should be treated with love & kindness, but when we refuse to label sin a sin, we’re doing more harm than good."
"Fed Judge Caught Stumping For Biden’s Green Agenda In MT."
"The European Union's #Copernicus Climate Change Service said last month was the hottest May in recorded history — the 12th consecutive month in which the monthly high temperature record was broken.
It was also the 11th consecutive month where the global average temperature was at least 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average."

What is fantastic about composting worms is that not only they are able to process an insane amount of waste and help us limit greenhouse gasses from landfills, but we often forget that they produce one of the most powerful manure that can be made at home.
If you apply the worm castings in your garden, you will boost the biology in your soils and provide a lot of nutrients for your plants.
If you want to do something for the #climate a worm bin is a very good start.
"[2023] is the first year where this estimate has reached the 1.3C threshold. Our report also shows that human-caused warming has been increasing at a rate of 0.26C per decade.
This high rate of warming is caused by a combination of greenhouse gas #emissions being close to an all-time high and a reduction in the cooling impacts of aerosols as society tackles deadly #AirPollution."
"Seventy-one percent of Americans say #EnergyPolicy is at least one important factor in thinking about their vote for the next president in November [including 78% of Democrats and 65% of Republicans], and 64% say the same about #ClimateChange, [including 84% of Democrats and 43% of Republicans]."
Groundwater is heating up, threatening life below and above the surface.
Under your feet lies the world’s biggest reservoir. Groundwater makes up a whopping 97% of all usable freshwater. Where is it? In the voids between grains and cracks within rocks. We see it when it rises to the surface in springs, in caves, or when we pump it up for use. #ClimateChange#Science
Climate change projected to warm shallow groundwater by up to 3.5°C.
Shallow groundwater is projected to warm on average between 2.1°C and 3.5°C by the end of the century, according to a world-first global groundwater temperature model. #ClimateChange

Grounding her work in the dynamic landscape of Miami but reaching far beyond its shores, Stephanie Wakefield illuminates the path toward a future where cities embrace opportunities for evolution rather than merely for survival"
