“They don't think Jesus is going to fix the climate, they think they can throw their garbage in the oceans, burn the forests, pollute the air, drill Baby drill, and instead of having to face the consequences, Jesus will show up and whisk them all away to Christian Heaven where they get to live in paradise while smugly laughing at the sinners burning down below.” - Jim Wright

"The Trump administration announced it will pay nearly $1 billion to French energy giant TotalEnergies in exchange for the company abandoning plans to build offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean and instead pursue fossil fuel projects in the US. TotalEnergies will now spend the money on the development of a new liquified natural gas plant in Texas that will help export US LNG overseas to Europe."

How moss could help roads cope with heavy rain and reduce air pollution

Already some countries are experimenting with using #moss in built-up areas to absorb air #pollution. As countries search for #nature-based solutions to #climate and #environmental challenges, #roadside moss is starting to attract attention. So could mossy motorway banks work?

Moss could offer environmental benefits over grass, from trapping air pollution to slowing #rainwater runoff during heavy storms.

13 years ago, a sign was installed at a glacier in #nz, showing changes in the size of the glacier over time. At the end is a photoshopped version, speculating how it will look in 2100.

Want to guess how it looks in 2023 compared to the prediction for 2100?
