A Winter Storm Fueled by Global Warming Tests U.S. Disaster Response
Climate change is making disasters more intense and unpredictable. FEMA is less prepared than it was a year ago.

We’re Already Paying for Climate Damage, the Only Question is Why Big Polluters Aren’t

“We know our industry is funding hate, legitimising environmental destructive companies, and working at the frontline of a US-led rollback on diversity, equity and inclusion” (known as DEI), they said in the memo, while “paying little more than lip service to solving critical issues” that include “spreading hateful content” and “helping polluting industries such as oil and gas rebuff public scrutiny.”
It's a whole lot of "We don't know" at this point. But, if you live in the I-95 corridor, especially beginning in the Carolinas and points north, I would make those weekend plans tentative. It's possible this system heads out to sea instead of going up the Eastern Seaboard. But, whatever this system does, it will start doing it Friday.
Another winter storm this weekend? Cold, snow, rain in early forecast. #USWx #US #Weather #Snow #News
1455 medium and large municipal US drinking water utilities. We find that 67 million customers are serviced by utilities with higher climate risk. Drinking water utilities in the Western US have higher risk due to expected large changes in climate hazards, while utilities in the Northeast and Midwest have higher risk due to existing vulnerabilities and exposure

The Week of Action reflects that reality. Across the country, states will introduce new climate bills, hold lobby days & town halls, deliver petitions, publish op-eds, walk out of classrooms, & rally public support—all aimed at starting the year with one message: Taxpayers shouldn’t be the default insurer for fossil fuel pollution anymore

It's going to be morbidly funny when all the media outlets and special interest groups demanding mass censorship legislation to "protect children" suddenly find themselves buried in frivolous lawsuits and jailed.

Climate change disrupts this balance. Longer droughts and hotter conditions reduce water entering reservoirs. At the same time, evaporation increases water loss

The federal government’s attempt to quash state litigation against oil companies over climate change before it’s even filed leads “inescapably” to dismissal, according to an order handed down Saturday

Weather enthusiasts, meteorologists, and fortune tellers: does anyone have any info. on the next winter storm to hit the U.S. at the end of the week? Looks like a coastal low sits off the Carolinas with precipitation in the furthest eastern areas. Is that your understanding?
How Will Climate Change Affect Future Operations?
Climate change projections suggest more frequent and severe winter storms, requiring fundamental shifts in operational planning and infrastructure design. Companies must balance increased resilience investments against competitive cost pressures, particularly as winter storm impacts on US oil production become more predictable yet potentially more severe

US nurses union denounce Pretti’s killing, call to abolish ICE
National Nurses United, the largest registered nurses’ union in the US, has called Pretti’s killing “a heinous murder”.
“Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was doing what nurses do best – taking action to protect his community – when he was killed by federal agents,” the union said,

#TikTok needed to be sold for the "protection of the US citizen". And now, less than a month after the ownership changed, it tracks more than the Chinese (officially, according to their policy) did. Like biometrics, immigration status, and medical diagnoses. GG

I don't know how to do this
But I'm going to keep doing it anyway
Very often, I don’t know how I’m supposed to move forward
How am I supposed to keep writing about, and caring about, climate change and pollution and government capture by Big Oil, when the government is executing people in broad daylight? How am I supposed to watch the country descend into full-throated fascism, and then log on to my computer and say: anyway, about those methane regulations?
