It absolutely does not have to be the case that the USA has to still be producing the amount of oil and gas that we are now in 2026, but it's up to all of us to stop it from happening by stopping to buy their polluting products.

The US will be an oil production powerhouse through at least 2026,..

Many experts believe that the clean energy transition has reached the point where emissions will stabilize and then begin to decline. The critical milestone of peak climate pollution might be happening right now.

The total global climate pollution released between February and May 2024 declined slightly from the amount released during the same period in 2023.

I really wish people would stop making multi-part forms where I need to fill in required feeds to see all the questions. Especially when they validate them so I need to put in valid fake data.

I just want to see all the questions being asked so I know if it's going to require me having to go hunt down some random fucking document / see if I fail some eligibility requirement before I fill it in.

@f11xter @weirdwriter yeah, the list of info needed in advance is a good option. Reminds people who may not think to get info to do it.

Gov.UK specifically designs for the widest accessibility, and tries to avoid overload or too long forms and for lowest power devices.
NatalyaD mastodon (AP)
@weirdwriter

I was very cynical about GOV.UK when it started in about 2011 cos its predecessor directgov.uk was horrific, but I was pleasantly surprised. There was top-level support and while it's petered out a bit now and some departments like the tax department avoided improvements (they're bastards), 90% of government departments were forced into the new accessible regime.

They had people who believed in it, researched, listened, improved & promoted it.

Hot damn, kudos to #answerthecall2024 for raising over $2 million last night in small dollar donors for Kamala Harris. It's encouraging to see efforts like this and #mastodonforharris supporting a candidate who will stand up for our rights.

If, like me, you wanna donate to help Kamala Harris become President, AND you’d like to see her right here on Mastodon, please use the link below to the #MastodonForHarris page on the Dem donation website — you’ll be supporting both causes!
Please BOOST this link https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris
& #MastodonForHarris even if you can’t donate right now.
#Kamala2024 #harris #KamalaHarris

https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/112850807360365303

Because funds raised via https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris go through our page and then directly to Harris for President, Harris’ finance team sees precisely how we are doing. And because we have been raising money from lots of people, with numerous recurring donations, at a good clip, I’m confident #MastodonForHarris is getting noticed. 3/3

Pure speculation, but have not seen any definitive updates on the damage in Jasper, but yesterday they cleared all fire crews without SCBA -- ie all wildland crews pulled -- and any structure defense would also require light/air support and typically hundreds of firefighters for a single structure fire... that could not have lasted very long. Apparently 200-300 ft flames on the front per CBC reporting, which is grim. Damage (in my opinion) could be quite catastrophic. #Jasper #wildfire #JasperNationalPark

 “(The) air quality had deteriorated to the point that wildland firefighters and others without self-contained breathing apparatuses needed to evacuate to Hinton,” Parks Canada said in a statement.

“Structural firefighters remain in town and are working to save as many structures as possible and to protect critical infrastructure, including the wastewater treatment plant, communications facilities, the Trans Mountain Pipeline and others.”
Bill Witte reshared this.
Word I have through first responder connections in town is pretty grim.
Bill Witte mastodon (AP)
It’ll be a tough recovery for Jasper. Once a WUI fire transitions to an urban conflagration with building to building ignition (like Maui) IC needs to make difficult decisions. Crews in structural gear need to switch air bottles and rehab every 30-45 min. It might be OK to lose 20 -100 houses if they save critical infrastructure. All communities need to do better mitigating structure ignitability.

Each of my boosts is my favorite post or reply among all posts and replies I found submitted during the prior month (with no boost for any such month unless active enough to credibly have a favorite). See, I'm hoping to balance three goals:

• Promote good stuff.

• Ensure quality by limiting it to fixed intervals.

• Help those who explore my original content to do so without too many distractions.

NB — Not all of one's boosts can be found at all times on all instances that show one's boosts.

I wonder about many things. One is the percentage of plastic our bodies can contain before some key organ--heart, brain, or lungs for example--stops working.

Not just us, of course. Everything in the biosphere is undergoing plastification. You'd think companies killing their customers might have second thoughts, but apparently not.

Future alien visitors will find bones imbedded in layers of plastic and wonder what strange religious beliefs led to our odd entombment.

26 July 1920 | German Jewish woman, Johanna Proskauer, was born in Berlin. She emigrated to the Czechoslovakia.

On 27 July 1942, she was deported to Theresienstadt ghetto and on 15 December 1943 to Auschwitz. She perished in Stutthof on 20 August 1944.

• My content is often Quiet Public or Unlisted, but might be Public if it: (a) is a boost or original post, (b) is a reply on some level to one of my original posts, or (c) is a reply on some level to a Public post naming me.

• I may edit words repeatedly for clarity or style. I enjoy the writing practice; I should do it more.

• Sometimes there's a fearsome image hidden in my banner pic—it's simultaneously copy protection and a challenge for folks who want to look for it.

🌳 Scientists at University of Birmingham have discovered that trees help remove methane from the atmosphere, not just the carbon dioxide we normally think about!

This is huge news, as methane is 80x more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2 over 20 years, and is responsible for 30% of global warming.

In #Illinois, a police officer shot Sonya Massey and killed her. He has been charged with murder. The facts will come out at trial, but the choice for the election is clear. Kamala #Harris wants to hold cops accountable when they break the law. Donald #Trump wants to give them immunity from prosecution. A decision to stay home means you're OK with letting the cop who killed Sonya Massey stay home. Silence means consent. https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/sonya-massey-police-accountability-trump-harris-rcna163741?cid=eml_mda_20240726&user_email=6178f1b4ffd352f367e7b15ac9f42f239b7166116dfcd896d93afa99a5de221d
