You're going to read about the climate heat using these "normal" words but the temp above too hot, is death.

It doesn't just feel hot, it kills. Thats how hot climate "warming" gets.

"In Palm Springs — where Friday's high temperature was forecast to hit 116 degrees — many homeless people left to contend with the heat on their own.

"I don't know how anyone can do it," he said. "I feel so bad . . . there's not much I can do."

Canada Wild Fire Crisis

The ASTOUNDING huge big news out of COP28 "so far" is Biden's comitment to not just build NO MORE, not one, coal plant ever again, but the cycle down and Replace ALL COAL PLANTS NOW within 12 years.

US TO REPLACE COAL PLANTS

Coal is 20% of the US power system. That is construction of massive size. Terawats of renewable construction. Funding for remefiation for energy industry jobs, protecting former coal communities.

You don't remember the Alamo.

In April 1832, the Mexican government closed a loophole allowing settlers to reclassify their human chattel as indentured servants. This finally outlawed slavery, full stop.

For Stephen Austin, this was the last straw. “Texas must be a slave country,” he wrote a friend, “circumstances and unavoidable necessity compels it.”

Why does anyone chose nuclear spending over solar home installs? So money goes to rich people, not us.

So economic control increases, and economic independence, ours, decreases.

So coercive economic power stays in a few hands, not spread out over many hands.

So security "requirements" include treating your population as terrorists, and not equal members of the economy and society.

Install solar on every roof, home, school, enterprise.

Elon Musk stole the Turkish election with Turkish Dictator Erdogan, with deep fake videos and preventing the democratic opposition from even denying the terrorism chants the deep fake videos lied about.

Now Elon Musks twitter is censoring, preventing distibution, erasing a sitting Democratic Party State Senator from showing her videos, "because it supports abortion rights"

We are in climate collapse. Its not "coming" its not "by 2050 this or that" it is now. People dying in the street of heat.

New Rules for EVs, sell EVs or dont sell cars, is as much a way to save ICE car makers from themselves, as it is to save the world.

(ICE - Internal combustion, carbon burners)

EV cars are coming, FROM NEW CAR MAKERS, and they have long range, fast charging and lower prices.

President Carter, now in his last days, home to be with his family as he passes, once personally saved Ottawa from a Nuclear Disaster, at risk, and cost, to his life, suffering from radiation poisoning all his life.

Canada had a Nuclear Accident in the 50s, asked the US for help, Lieutenant Jimmy Carter lead a team out of NY.

The future President Carter, had his team lower him into the reactor.

I had no idea

I have no idea why this isn't widely known.

Cute wording, but the point is VERY SERIOUS

"Giant Batteries Drain Economics of Gas Power Plants"

https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/23/11/22/029246/giant-batteries-drain-economics-of-gas-power-plants

Idiots, liars and Exxon co-conspirators have been lying about batteries, lying about the need for baseline power support from fossil fueled plants.

Studies show, even without adding the costs of subsidies, of wildfires, the costs of climate collapse, batteries ARE CHEAP.

BIG BATTERIES.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE OR ARGUMENT, build it all now, protect your taxes.

BC gas prices 2.13 a liter. 10 bucks a gallon. Oil companies hate us. Making us pay THEM for our own funerals.

BC climate costs for 2021 were 17 billion dollars in government spending, business losses.

The cost for this year's climate destruction in #BritishColumbia hasnt even been guessed. Largest share of Canadas 15 million hectares of forest lost, more than a century of logging.

BC must spend 5 billion dollars building the new energy.
Wind, sun, now.
To save the $%^%$ budget!

When CBC first put up the graph in their Fire Crisis article, the graph only went up to "6M" -to Six Million Hectares.

🇨🇦 Fire Season loss had only _once in history gone over 6 million.👈

The Red Line is this year's burn. I have superimposed it over CBC's first graph from June 9th.

Now the burn is 17.6 Million Hectares.👈 SEVENTEEN POINT SIX
It is still burning, still over 500 fires "Out Of Control"

It will cost much more if we dont fix this now.

Drivers know it possibly best. If your check engine light comes on, its fix it, or buy a new engine.

The #Climate Wildfires, destroyed Pakistan, Amazon running dry, massive instant explosive hurricanes where no hurricane has been before, are Earth's Check Engine Light.

Its going to be MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE, and deadly, if we don't build all the renewables we need now, to END carbon fuels.

Earth's check engine light is on.

Jeff Bezos is scum.

600 people died on their floors and beds last year in a polar nation from the heat of the day, no flame, no fire.

In a polar nation,

If your body temp is above 40C you are a dead person.

Our air is becoming deadly, our day has become deadly, and Jeff wants to sell you ways to think cool.

We must build solar and wind energy like tanks and ships for war.

“If you try to move a bill that solves the border crisis during this presidential year, I will do whatever I can to destroy you, because I do not want you to solve this during the presidential election,” Lankford said he was told.

This is an Oklahoma Republican Senator announcing publically he was threatened by a "tv presenter" I am assuming it was Hannity or some other arrogant prick dipstick, and I sure hope it has long legal outcomes.

Canada's Catastrophic Wild Fires Are Beyond A Warning.

Climate chaotic collapse is here.
100 Years Early.

#Climate collapse is not "moving to a warmer room"
Climate destruction is a bus beginning to fall down a hill.

This graph is murder scene.

2023 Forest Fire season.

It shows that UNLIKE Previous Fire Seasons, 2023 began mid Spring, not during the heat of July.

Rising to over twice as high as previous Fire Seasons, -> Before the coming July heat when the Fire crisis will increase.
