New piece by #BillMcKibben. I found it to be hopeful.

As #BillMcKibben says:

> The first great YIMBY novel, this chronicle of mutual aid is politically perceptive, scientifically sound, and extraordinarily hopeful even amidst the smoke. Forget the Silicon Valley bros--these are the California techsters we need rebuilding our world, one solar panel and prefab insulated wall at a time.

I've been thinking about this: What happens when it's just too hot to go outside?

'A Hotter Planet Takes Another Toll on Human Health'
#BillMcKibben #NewYorker

“The #planet is getting steadily hotter, and large swaths of it are moving past the point at which it’s safe to do heavy outside #labor in the middle of the day.”

'Godalmighty, Exxon Knew Absolutely Everything'

#BillMcKibben #TheCrucialYears

“Our analysis shows that #ExxonMobil ’s own data contradicted its public statements, which included exaggerating uncertainties, criticizing climate models, mythologizing global cooling, and feigning ignorance about when—or if—human-caused global [change] would be measurable.” (#GeofferySupran)

This has got to be one of the worst ideas to land on, even remotely.

"Dimming the Sun to Cool the Planet Is a Desperate Idea, Yet We’re Inching Toward It" #BillMcKibben #NewYorker

"This scheme, not surprisingly, has few public advocates, and even among those who want to see it studied the inference has been that it would not actually be implemented for decades."

IMHO: We MUST stop messing with systems that are bigger than we are and instead learn to live in harmony with them.

> .. fossil fuel is at the root of our problems. It is at the root of the despotisms we see in Russia or in Saudi Arabia or indeed the Koch brothers’ efforts to deform our own democracy. And it’s also at the root of the biggest existential challenge that we’ve ever faced.

> ... breathing the combustion products of fossil fuels, from a big study released a few weeks ago, kills 8.7 million people a year on this planet. That’s one death in five. It’s bigger than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis combined, malaria combined. And it’s all unnecessary, because we now are able to produce power by pointing a sheet of glass at the sun.
