Going to Mars is not a scam for the actual science community that wants to study it and our cosmos. It IS a scam for the world's richest man, who has gained excessive wealth on taxpayer-footed gov. contracts. Mars development will take that to exponential new highs. Earth suffers, he gets richer.

This comes at a time where thousands are still suffering from #HurricaneHelene. I was excited to move to North Carolina where I voted here for the first time last fall. I wish my vote could have done more. Where are those "Christian values" now? Starving people in need to make billionaires richer?

Elon wants more billions in U.S. gov "defense" contracts (he already has gleaned upwards of $32 billion in federal backing, footed by US taxpayers). His "multi planet species" speech, which I've heard more than once, isn't about saving humanity, much less Earth. It's about his wealth accumulation.

Why is this surprising? Agent Orange repeatedly sided with Daddy Vladdy during his first "term" instead of global allies and his own country. Why did people think he'd change course and behave better this time around, convicted felon and all? The biggest shame is that millions of voters chose this.

BP shifts course, boosting fossil fuel investments and cutting renewables BP said on Wednesday it would increase annual oil and gas investment to $10 billion, returning the focus to fossil fuels, as part of CEO Murray Auchincloss' efforts to boost returns and improve financial performance.

The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone.

Society has changed before at the scale we need it to today: but that change was never catalyzed by presidents, PMs, or CEOs of the richest companies of the time.

The fossil fuel age won’t end until we ordinary people demand it does.

Musk's DOGE, SpaceX both land at FAA DOGE plans to expand its footprint at the agency as they work on solutions that "keep the airspace open and safe,” according to the email.

“Because of the harmful red tide algae off the coast of Florida, DeSantis is encouraged to declare an emergency” by Melissa P for Florida Insider. Read more here:

The "road to peace" is not the objective for cruel, power-hungry megalomaniacs. Making as much money as possible–at the expense of others' suffering– is....cashing in on "defense" contracts, gas & oil deals, etc.

Ironically, the U.S. is now allowing SpaceX to assess federal aviation safety, while firing FAA employees amid a workforce shortage of air traffic safety control professionals.

Voters sadly chose this. Fascism entails stifling the free press and attacking journalists who seek and cover the truth and facts.

Jury awards climate scientist Michael Mann $1 million in defamation lawsuit A jury said Mann was defamed 12 years ago when a pair of conservative writers compared his depictions of global warming to a convicted child molester.

They'd better think twice, @michaelemann.bsky.social! Maybe they don't know who they're messing with...

Excited to follow and support your inspiring work, @xiyebastida.bsky.social! Thank you for your leadership. #ClimateSolutions

Thank you for this vital journalism. I loved life in Pasadena where I hiked Eaton Canyon in Altadena daily or the Mt. Wilson Trail - both destroyed in the #EatonFire like Ben’s home. As a longtime climate solutions advocate, his work and story resonate on deepest levels.

This scientist studies climate change. Then the Los Angeles fire destroyed his home Climate scientist Ben Hamlington works on understanding the impacts of climate change. Losing his house in the Eaton Fire has given that work new meaning.

I've interviewed NASA climate scientist Ben Hamlington over the years. Then I heard he lost his home in the Los Angeles wildfires. www.npr.org/2025/01/23/n...

The U.S. is trying to unravel a hacking plot that targeted climate activists The U.S. claims the hacking was commissioned by a lobbying firm working on behalf of one of the world's biggest oil companies.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Not by Gandhi but still very appropriate in these times.

I’ll never understand why American voters chose this path. Mother Nature will win in the end.

The ethics, and the law. Law enforcement is out the window. Including for the highest office of POTUS, and criminals who assault and kill police officers.

Looks like their insurrection mission is accomplished. Inauguration indoors in the Rotunda, bought and paid for by Elon, Jeff, Mark and a nice $1B fossil fuel industry quid pro quo.

Thank you, @mcuban.bsky.social! Purged Meta apps and stopped using platform formerly-known-as-Twitter went Elon ruined #ScienceTwitter with X, favoring far right disinformation. The power of propaganda is extraordinary & needs to be stopped. New solutions like this empower us!

a colourful blue, orange, red and purple chart showing a light and dar kblue history for temperatures, recent shifts upwards through orange and light red, and two futures: one of light and dark red (1.5c), and one of deep purple (3c and more)

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once:

- Things are going to get worse, no matter what

- The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today

Excellent, @katharinehayhoe.com. Also climate-related, during my 10 years hiking the beautiful mountains of Southern California, I experienced 1) the 10-year record drought, dryness 2) scorching record heatwaves 2) abnormal atmospheric rivers that dumped record winter rain (brush growth = tinder).

2022 - Trail friend in Altadena & Pasadena park: "Hope lives in young leaders. Ran into trail hero @edgarmcgregor.bsky.social on his 1034th consecutive day of trash cleanup. His passion for fixing this planet & bettering life for people is inspiring." Keep going, Edgar! #EatonFire #ClimateSolutions

When the #ClimateEmergency hits home (again). Recently moved from beautiful Pasadena, California to North Carolina. Hard to comprehend what’s happened a few blocks north of where I lived on Lake Ave. Communities worldwide need clean energy & resiliency solutions now. #EatonFire

My old trail friend, @edgarmcgregor.bsky.social! This is who I immediately thought of when I heard news of what was happening in my prior home community - and park - of 10 years. As I posted about Edgar on Twitter in 2022 (before quitting X), hope lies in young leaders. #climatesolutions #eatonfire
