Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

The climate crisis is one of the top most severe threats to human existence, alongside nuclear war and a massive asteroid.

It blows my mind how many leaders choose to just whistle past the grave. This isn’t some event on some obscure future date—it’s already happening.

Update: tonight into Tuesday morning is expected to be even COLDER than initially forecasted for the Florida Peninsula.

Most of central Florida is now likely to see temperatures drop into the lower to mid 30s as far south as Okeechobee.

Lots of cold-stunned iguanas likely!

How news coverage eases us into tyranny When the media act like things are normal, they don’t reassure us – they gaslight us

"It’s an indictment of mainstream media that this process keeps getting worse.
When the crisis is constantly getting worse, why do the media cover it with the same monotonous, muffled drumbeat? Are they ever going to set off the fire alarms?"

50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 'rock star' ship, sank in Lake Superior Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.
