A massive heat wave in the northern Pacific is causing record-breaking warm fall weather in Canada. Experts say the warm ocean is pushing the jet stream north, pulling warmer southern air into the country. Scientists link the increased frequency and intensity of these marine heat waves to climate change, and they expect a warmer-than-usual fall to continue.

In a historic shift, renewables as well as nuclear overtook coal as the world's top electricity source in early 2025. Solar power drove this transition, meeting 83% of global demand growth and enabling developing nations like China and India to actually reduce fossil fuel use.

While developing countries lead the clean energy charge, developed nations like the US and EU are increasing reliance on coal and gas.

Tax Wealth, the hugely nonpartisan, supported by all voters, in every party and wing.

Liberal voters say tax Wealth, conservative voters want excessive Wealth taxes, left voters want billionaires taxed.

Some party leaders oppose taxing wealth, because corrupt.

Fix your party, loudly support wealth taxes. Tax billionaires into millionaires. Everyone agrees.

Fairness works.
Fairness saves democracy.

That self government shall not perish

LA Times: Trump administration says it will cut $8 billion for climate projects in blue states, including California’s hydrogen hub

Trump administration cuts $8 billion in climate project funding across 16 Democratic states, including California’s effort to develop clean hydrogen energy.

All affected states voted against Trump in 2024, while Republican states with similar projects remain unaffected by cuts.

Bill McKibben: "Today, the guy who’s got more claim than anyone else on earth to actually being in charge of religion told him in the kindest possible most pontifical way that he’s out of line."

Ah yes, the emotional high that a "sometime Methodist" gets from finding a big time religious leader on the right side of the #climate. But no, the Pope is not in charge of religion, much as the Vatican would like convince people of this.

"Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list."

"The Energy Department has added 'climate change,' 'green' and 'decarbonization' to its growing 'list of words to avoid' at its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy [#EERE]…Other terms officials must ditch include 'energy transition,' 'sustainability/sustainable,' 'clean' or 'dirty' energy, 'Carbon/CO2 "Footprint"' and 'Tax breaks/tax credits/subsidies.'"

EXTRA COOL NEWS on electric haul trucks.

Often, these trucks drive UP to the ore face, and down to empty their load.

When going down these haul trucks MAKE FUEL, with their electric engines. Its called regenerative braking.

Trucks can MAKE MORE ELECTRICITY than they use, and can be plugged in to power the grid at night.

Wow. Using carbon fuels is ugly and deadly, and STUPID.

Good news in hard times.

Biggest single EV deal ever signed.

China delivering 200 MASSIVE EV haul trucks to Australian iron mining.

240 tonne trucks.

Cutting a ocean of diesel fuel use.

The #FTC’s “Green Guides” have turned “100% #RenewableEnergy” into a marketing illusion: open.substack.com/pub/alexepst

* Buying paper credits for others' #CleanEnergy lets companies take false credit—and shift fossil fuel blame onto citizens.
* Hundreds run mostly on #FossilFuels yet claim “100% #renewable” with the FTC’s blessing.
* This fuels plant shutdowns, driving a reliability crisis that #AI will worsen.
