It bears mentioning that the reason the #penguin chicks are so hesitant (to jump) is b/c this is typically done from FAR lower heights (often off a ground-level ice sheet), not a 50' cliff.
They are having to do this b/c so much of the lower ice has melted. 😞 #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

in 2013, coal generated 175 times as much electricity as #solar power in the US. Within a decade, in 2022, coal was generating less than 5 times as much electricity (incl. estimated rooftop solar).
So far this year, coal has generated slightly more than twice as much electricity as all solar.
Coal is dying here but needs to die even faster.

I wish I didn't have to tell you about this again, but I do. It's not being reported much in the news — and you know why?
Because it's not 'new' (the origin of the word 'news'), it's old. This has been going on for months now, and corporate news outlets are simply tired of reporting it. But it is still happening.
Canada's boreal forests are burning up.
At least 1100 fires are active, more than 700 out of control. Over 13 million hectares have been burned so far, with no end in sight. It's an unprecedented climate and environmental disaster.

Whenever someone tells you that the climate crisis is a personal responsibility issue, show them this:
The climate crisis is a billionaires crisis, a trillion-dollar corporations crisis, a capitalism crisis, a systemic inequality crisis.

Buckle up because El Niño is almost here, and it’s going to get hot
Prepare for temperatures reaching ‘uncharted territory,’ the World Meteorological Organization warns.
by By Justine Calma, May 17, 2023
"The next five years are almost guaranteed to be sweltering, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned today. Climate change has already raised baseline temperatures for the planet. Now, a weather pattern known as El Niño is going to make things even hotter when it develops later this year."
