From the paper: Scientists’ warning on fossil fuels

Abstract

The evidence is clear that fossil fuels—and the fossil fuel industry and its enablers—are driving a multitude of interlinked crises that jeopardize the breadth and stability of life on Earth. Every stage of the fossil fuel life cycle—extraction, processing, transport, and combustion or conversion to petrochemical products—emits planet-heating greenhouse gases and health-harming pollutants, in addition to causing widespread environmental degradation. We review the vast scientific evidence showing that fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry are the root cause of the climate crisis, harm public health, worsen environmental injustice, accelerate biodiversity extinction, and fuel the petrochemical pollution crisis. Fossil fuels are responsible for millions of premature deaths, trillions of dollars in damages, and the escalating disruption of ecosystems, threatening people, wildlife, and a livable future. The fossil fuel industry has obscured and concealed this evidence through a decades-long, multi-billion-dollar disinformation campaign aimed at blocking action to phase out fossil fuels. We focus on the United States as the world’s largest oil and gas producer and dominant contributor to these fossil fuel crises. We present the science-and-justice-based solutions that already exist for governments and civil society to restrict the influence of the fossil fuel industry, stop fossil fuel expansion, phase out fossil fuel production and use, and make a rapid, just transition to clean, renewable energy and materials across the economy, while holding the fossil fuel industry accountable for its deception and damages. The necessary transition away from fossil fuels will provide innumerable societal and planetary benefits and forge a path forward to sustaining life on Earth.

When you lose by 60+ percent margins, but have to control the messaging. “We do not see this as a failure," he said in a statement. “We realize how hard positive change can be to implement in a State that is conditioned for failure.” Landry is such a tool.

Ya know, that region of the world is very humid. I wonder if it's not some sort of mold or fungus that just grew there, and happens to look like letters or a word or something. A bit of white vinegar will usually resolve a mold issue. And it's not harsh at all.

East of Tallahassee, Florida, there's a trail called The Cadillac Trail, so named because a bunch of cars were abandoned out there decades ago by a car dealer who then claimed they were stolen. 'If you can't sell it, then collect the insurance' seems to be a long established solution.

My understanding is that one can grow a different variety of grass, which will look different than the original grass, and so a message in contrasting grass colors can emerge over days and weeks. And thus convey a message, e.g. I once heard from a veteran that someone had walked across a parade field dropping seed, and making the letters Phi, Tau, Alpha, i.e. FTA or Fuck The Army, arise some time later. It's labor intensive to remove it, once established.

Yacuy strives to produce yerba mate of the highest quality. You see the Pure Leaf (coarse grind), Organica (fine ground con palo), and Moringa Leaf powder (for nutrition). In these cases the yerba is unsmoked, fresh tasting, nutty, umami, rich in flavor. Moringa adds subtle sweet, nutty, grain like notes. The combination of coarse and fine grinds, with sticks (con palo) make for good structure in La Montanita, so the vallley/ valle allows for the drink to flow. Enjoy! Shoutout to u/WinterPlanet. I'm missing you, and hope you will join Fedi.

 

Sturdy Farm/Utility Wagon. Can carry big loads or small. In like new condition.

 
 

/m/SantaFe had been on kbin.social, which is no longer functional. And so I finally got around to putting it on Fedia.io. Enjoy!!

 
 

I hadn't gotten on the bike this weekend, and the rear was low this morning. I tried putting air in, to see if that was sufficient. And by lunch time both front and rear needed air. I'm gonna put some more sealant in both tires before the ride tonight. Sealant and tubeless are great, it's just the thing that it's necessary to add more sealant now and again.

 

I just sent this to Biden & Harris via the White House contact page https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/. I share in case you would like to add your voice and may find it helpful to have a pre-existing template to use or edit. Please feel free to share with others as you see fit.

I would like to add my voice in the call for a recount of the 2024 presidential election. I would also like to ask that you conduct a full investigation into tampering, interference, and fraud for this election.

· 32 bomb threats were called into democratic leaning polling places in swing states, causing them to be closed for extended periods of time on Election Day.

· At least one bomb threat was called into a vote counting center.

· Polling locations were closed while voters were still in line to vote.

· Multiple Ballot drop boxes were set on fire, in democratic leaning areas, losing thousands of ballots.

· Many voters reported not receiving mail in ballots, while districts apparently had not sent thousands of them.

· Hundreds of people in swing states are reporting that their votes have not been counted or even have never been received, though they were dropped off/mailed on time

· Some voters also reported instances of their outgoing mail not being picked up after placing their ballot in their mailbox.

· Voters also reported having their ballots invalidated for reasons such as invalid signatures, and given no chance to fix it.

We cannot allow election interference. Please order a recount as soon as possible.

The American people do not trust the results of this election. The people are concerned that there is outside interference – from foreign governments and from private corporations at least – in our election. We are concerned that this was not a free and fair election. We are concerned that we are being lied to and a dictator is trying to take over our government. I am begging you to do everything in your power to stop this from taking place. Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter.
