I'll say it again (and Again) the "depressing, give up, its not going to help" stories about COP28 are ALL written by Exxon.
If the story isn't telling you the good news and telling you fight harder, negotiate better, protest more often, recognizing that protest brought us here, then it is written by OIL.
If the story say COP28 is nothing, its Exxon
If it says it will do no good, its Exxon.
If it says capitalism will stop us, its Exxon.
You're WINNING, FIGHT HARDER.

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.

I love good news. This, this is good news.
A good system that passively makes fresh water from seawater without power or exhaust or byproducts, and sitting in the sun drives it. Scalable from family to community, etc.
"Cheaper than tap water"
Rain is even cheaper than that, breaking rain is big mistake. Rainstorms that destroy nations, or just bridges and highways, or rains no longer bringing enough water ---
We have to build all the energy needed to end carbon fuels

"Heat Has Forced Organizers To Cancel Twin Cities Races That Draw Up To 20,000 Runners"
Heat.
October 2nd.
__
They cancelled 2 annual marathons, in October, because of the danger to runners.
October 2nd.
This is a slap in the face, a punch in the face.
Climate is BREAKING.
This is an alarm like someone knocking on your door at 3am.
Marathons (plural) cancelled for heat in OCTOBER.👈 👈
We've been reassured to the brink.
It is TIME to act.
BUILD IT ALL

Another 200,000 Hectares of burn in days.
The Canadian Climate Wildfire Catastrophe 🇨🇦 🔥
-- Is Still Burning.
The fire season ended a month ago, historical longest fire season ever ended 2 weeks ago.
This horrific, deadly, destructive climate fire, burning 28 Billion Trees, is NOT THE CRISIS.
THE CRISIS IS CLIMATE COLLAPSE
We must build oil and coal's replacement as if for war. Build sun like tanks, build wind energy like Ships.
Eighteen point One Million Hectares

Remember when the social threat Elon Musk took over xitter and started putting labels on NPR and other accounts as "Government Agents"?
Guess how many Russia and Putin Accounts xitty has now.
Guess how many have labels?
You guessed right! the xitty social weapon run by Musk is a hotbed of hidden Russian propaganda!

The New York Times isnt stupid, they know Trump is busy overthrowing the government, working to end the American Democracy, enslave the American peoplem they are providing cover, helping him pretend to be a servent of the democracy, a servant of the constitution.
They know what they do. They are not merely nailing hands.
"New files shed light on ExxonMobil’s efforts to undermine climate science"
/
"The new revelations are based on previously unreported documents subpoenaed by New York’s attorney general as part of an investigation into the company announced in 2015. They add to a slew of documents that record a decades-long misinformation campaign waged by Exxon, which are cited in a growing number of state and municipal lawsuits against big oil."

LIES.
Carbon Credits, footprints, "no country has ever," its too late, there's no point, its too expensive, carbon capture
CBC loves to push polls saying "Canada wants action on climate but doesn't cost anything." CBC is a big help spreading Exxon lies.
When lawsuits come to Canada, I hope it includes news stations, Governments lying.
California has started BIG Lawsuits, BC Towns want to Sue.
Use courts, streets, votes, all of it.
We can, we will end carbon fools.

Clarify the demand. Build all the Sun and Wind Needed To Make Carbon History Right NOW. All of it. Now.
Build all the solar, wind, battery and grid needed to end carbon fuels, right now, at speed.
Like We Built Tanks and Ships For War.
Build All of It NOW.
Clarify, Simplify, Increase the Demand.
Build the end of carbon fuels, as if for war.

Everyone knows the clerk KIm Davis refused to give a couple their marriage licence because she is a bigot
The Couple Sued Her.
The Jury awarded the couple $100,000 of Kim's money.
OK?
Lets start suing the Trudeau's for not building sun and wind energy systems. Because it is murder.
Lets start suing the politicians personally for not doing what science and law demand.
And Keep suing them and their ESTATES.

"A group of B.C. towns want to sue Big Oil over the climate crisis"
Lets make this BIG, lets grow this lawsuit into the federal government toppling, oil industry crippling, renewable building turning point we deserves, life deserves.
These good people need funding, all toews should offer money and legal help, all citizens, the families of the 600 killed just by heat, the farmers, taxpayers. Climate cost BC taxpayers several billion over just two years.

Cats I understand have an extra structure in their eye in addition to our rods and cones, that ignites on movement, not brightness or color.
Tea cup poodles are the 'victorious species' by any measure, and lions are just ecological garbage trucks, a necessary, but increasingly limited, job descripfion.

Erdogan the dictator, being swept from office because controlling all the press wasnt enough when the crappy cheap buildings Erdogan insisted on, fell down killing Turks.
But Elon prevented the democratic opposition from ANY COMMENTS when Erdogan spread Deep Fake Videos of the democratic opposition chanting terrorist slogans.
Its not just thug nazis passing notes, its weapon aimed at democracy, home and abroad.

Xitter is no a social media site anymore.
It is a weapon, and the sight, the stock, trigger, of that weapon are hidden to casual observers by the flowers of sane people decorating it, as if it were not an array of howitzers being brought to bear at the American Democracy.

Without even counting the racists platformed, Musk's military protection of the Russian Fleet blockading Ukrainian wheat exports ends all doubt about the evil of the platform.

" . . . we will continue to post here regularly" - sounds like "we post on xitter, but we also post here"

last straw
"Under Elon Musk, Twitter has not only decided to stop blocking bigots and liars and pro- insurrectionists, it has actively welcomed them, with apparent support from Mr. Musk. I had already cut my participation there by 90%. But Musk’s latest move, to threaten to ban and sue the ADL – to the delight of antisemites and other haters – is the last straw for me."

A new report says that a PR firm has been paying Rotten Tomatoes critics for positive reviews for over five years.
Wikipedia - "In February 2016, Rotten Tomatoes and its parent site Flixster were sold to Comcast's Fandango. Warner Bros. retained a minority stake in the merged entities, including Fandango."
