When it comes to the #ClimateCrisis, I think it's time to admit that Civility is Highly Overrated. We are in the middle of the Sixth Mass Extinction Mi'kma'ki Nova Scotia

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Reminder: The cost of the sun and wind will never increase because of conflict. While oil prices rise by almost 50% in the U.S. - sunlight remains free and abundant, forever. โ˜€๏ธ

"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals."

Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.

The article should be a wakeup call to municipalities around the US. 1st, this emergency isnโ€™t so sudden at all. There have been discussions for a decade. 2nd, instead of working to fix the impending disaster, the local community leaders kept adding huge industrial users. Sounds like data centers!

I cannot emphasize enough that *understanding* a behaviour is not the same thing as *ignoring* or *excusing* it. It is in fact the opposite, as you can't deal with a behaviour you don't understand
