5. How do we justify it?
But people tell me - I'm not going to quote them, but they tell me building highways is consistent with climate action.
Like I said, no shared basis in fact.
So, I think I'll go roll another one.

"The problem with climate scientists is they believe in Immaculate Construction.

Nah. He's been screaming into the void for years.
The problem with climate scientists is they believe in Immaculate Construction. They don't have a clue what we actually do with the fossil fuels they're hysterical about. They don't see the link from action to fuel.

The Douglas County Underwater Search and Rescue Team pulled this goal post from Potters while training today. They said it had been there 10 years. @LawrenceKSTimes

24. It's not the fossil fuels.
It's the ton-miles per day.
And until we admit that it's going to go on getting worse every day, at increasing, exponential rates.
The whole conversation is madness.
It's not the oil.

Or go ahead and burn it down.

5. All that #ClimateActionNow people are demanding, all the wind turbines, solar panels, and electric cars, is to support the energy appetite of building exactly this world.
Might as well enjoy it.

10. We can't have #degrowth as a policy someday, we need to #slowdown today.
This is not about gas mileage. This is about gallons per day.
It is not possible to burn as many gallons in an 8 hour work day at 55 as it was at 70.
Not physically possible.
This is energy reduction.

8. We slow down, we don't need any new highways. We don't have to repair the ones we have. Just post new speed limits where the road gets bad, drive there slower.
Nothing happening to the formerly living Earth is happening, passive voice. We are doing it, active voice.

As El Niño collides with a warming climate, seas off south Florida are shattering record temps. "It's bonkers" says Ben Kirtman, an atmospheric scientist with the University of Miami.

The temperature in China hit 126 degrees F today (52.2 C.)
That beats the old record by an almost inconceivable 3 F. The world is on fire.

Where did PE come from? How can these people live with themselves? Why do we let them get away with it? How do we stop them?
In @TheProspect, Maureen Tkacik reviews two books that try to answer these questions, but really only manage the first three:

Seems to me it should be a bigger scandal that @SenSchumer’s second largest political donor is NextEra Energy, the company behind the Mountain Valley Pipeline that *randomly* popped up in the debt ceiling deal.
