" Bill that would make Vermont the first state to have a 'Climate Superfund' takes a key step forward
The #ClimateSuperfund Act directs the state treasurer to work with climate scientists to catalog the damage Vermont has seen due to #ClimateChange between 1995 and 2024 — and what it will cost to adapt to a warmer future with more volatile weather.
If the bill becomes law, #Vermont could start to seek damages in 2027."
"The #Vermont bill doesn’t outline the total amount it would seek from polluting companies.
Instead, it calls for the state treasurer to account for the costs Vermont has incurred because of #emissions from 1995 through 2024 — including future costs from those past emissions. That includes impacts from floods and heat waves, along with losses to biodiversity, safety, economic development and anything else the treasurer deems reasonable."
IT'S A LAW
"#Vermont has become the first state to enact a law requiring #FossilFuel companies to pay a share of the damage caused by #ClimateChange.
Republican Gov. Phil Scott allowed the bill to become law without his signature late Thursday, saying he is very concerned about the costs and outcome of the small state taking on “Big Oil” alone in what will likely be a grueling legal fight. "

Um.. #Vermont .. what’s up with this 46 F (~8C)? I mean… it’s certainly “refreshing”… and I do understand we’re just 45 minutes south of the Canadian border… but did Mother Nature miss the memo about last weekend being Memorial Day and “the start of summer”? 🤣
I was not anticipating that we would need to get out the air conditioners in MAY all the way up here in northern #Vermont ... but I see neighbors doing it... and this just may be the day for us, too!
We seemed to have skipped much of the "Spring" thing and gone directly to Summer.
So this Thursday I will be doing something I haven't done since... maybe middle school (which is about 45 years ago!)... participating in a Spelling Bee! 🐝 🤣
Organized as a fundraiser by the Burlington Rotary Club, I'll be competing as part of a team of three, which seems like that should be helpful, but we'll see!

Thanks #VermontPublic for covering Green Mountain Roller Derby's first home competition since 2019.
I only started boot camp in early 2022. It's been a long road back rebuilding the league. We're so grateful and beyond excited to finally be skating at home.
TIL that #Vermont doesn’t see fit to equip its Fish and Wildlife field personnel with drones. They just have to wander out through potentially dangerous terrain (behind our house in this case) and hope to find problem animals in person… alone.

“The 1910 weathervane, which depicts a steam locomotive and coal tender, perched on the White River Junction Station in Hartford until its theft on November 3, 1983. Theft of weathervanes was very common, as they are outside and easy to remove since they sit on a spindle to enable them to move in the wind.”

Methadone is a synthetic opioid medication primarily used for the treatment of opioid dependence, including the management of opioid withdrawal symptoms and as part of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs. Methadone is classified as a full opioid agonist. It works by binding to the same receptors in the brain and spinal cord that are activated by other opioids, such as heroin or morphine. However, methadone's effects are longer-lasting, which helps to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
