This morning, I explained to a neighbor that we ensure access to our bat-nursery attic. She was respectful and quiet. What are the chances I got past her dread?

Point taken!

Not aiding the former coal communities is unconscionable.

Life on the rat wheel.
At least rats know when to get off!

TNC has >7300 employees and keeps looking for partnerships to help with that mission of bringing in the $$$$.

Warmer!

I was working hard yesterday (unpaid) weeding, pruning and mulching seven 5yo trees in a valley. Trees on the adjacent property slated for unnecessary development (large-lot housing) were being felled and removed.

Does anyone driving/talking abt the AI train PAUSE to consider the harms? We can accomplish needed goals 85% without it! Good 'nuf! It's like a car that races to the red stop light. Our young adult get pink slips midst developing skills for a bit of variation and fulfillment in their lives. Oh well!

Smh

Such a beautiful animal, too. What chance would a homely or off-putting one have against human demands?

Earth's carbon sinks are being eroded by climate change feedback loops Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have risen an extra 15 parts per million since 1960 due to the declining ability of the land and sea to soak up excess CO2

CO2 levels are 15ppm higher because of climate feedbacks impairing the ability of the land and seas 🌊 to take up some of the extra CO2 we're pumping into the atmosphere, according to ‪@pfriedling.bsky.social‬ 🧪

This was expected, but it's still not good

Here in US we have a "Fix Our Forests" attitude to protect homes of ppl and cut those of critters for timber, as needed.

Wow, how sobering is that?!

A timber rattler, which belongs here, popped up in our county against all odds. The police were called, and it was promptly removed.
Good job, humans. Not.

Jumping worms transported by us in our lawns are one thing. In our forest they consume the leaf litter sponge that nourishes all forest life.

Well now, doesn't that make a heck of a lot of sense!

Totally right

South Australian Algal Bloom: A Warning Shot on Planetary Boundaries South Australia’s algal bloom is more than an environmental incident. It’s a warning shot to Australia from our planet. We’ve been red-lining our life support systems. And now the consequences are com...

South Australia’s algal bloom isn’t random. It’s what happens when we cross #PlanetaryBoundaries—climate, nitrogen, ecosystem collapse.

This is real. It’s economic. It’s now.

Amazon's emissions continue to climb. Avoidance at all costs is a message, huh?!

Ach! And, unfortunately, tropical insects live in the narrowest range of temperatures.

Go Team Squirrel!!

And this probably equates to the smaller vehicles that take advantage weekly of police-allowed hot-rodding down certain roads in our township. 😕
