@nytimes: Floods are not unusual in South Asia, home to about one quarter of the world’s population. But in recent years, climate change has created more intense monsoon seasons in the region, displacing millions and gutting buildings, bridges and villages. https://t.co/oHdFjhxVNK

Like fusion, space-based solar power sounds cool, but it “requires technical advances” - just a few, mind! We have cheaper and more importantly already deployable solutions to intermittency: let’s focus on those. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/07/will-space-based-solar-power-ever-make-sense/

This current discussion about whether or not the equalization measure would apply to "The Enterprise" highlights one of the weirdest components of the International Seabed Authority: the ISA will become its own mining contractor. ISA will be both a commercial miner and the regulator.

I have a close friend who had no power for 3.5 days & his mom still has no power. So you should follow this closely even outside of HOU bc this is GOP's climate "strategy," so it could be coming to all of us soon. Unmitigated climate crisis & no responsibility for service providers to harden infra.

After a disastrous response to the category 1 storm, #Houston residents are left asking how the city could be so unprepared for a hurricane, and how much worse things could get. New today from Correspondent Dylan Baddour:

Hurricane Beryl Was a Warning Shot for Houstonwww.texasobserver.org The category 1 storm dealt the city disastrous damage. Houston’s first direct hit from a hurricane in decades showed how vulnerable the nation’s energy capital remains.

Everyone talks about how much we have to learn from the young—we need their fresh ideas and energy. But if you really want to disrupt the status quo, find the radical elders and learn from them. Throw out the colonial idea that old people are disposable. We need their wisdom.

The reason we are failing to deal with the Climate crisis is the same reasons we are failing at traffic congestion, road deaths, housing, and cost of living. Profit motivated and funded influence of culture and policy.

And there isn't a certain point where you will know it's "over". There won't be a point where people who care about other humans and other species will get to stop trying because it's over.

Thomas Paine, a founding father, proposed a universal cash payment for everyone turning 21 back in the 18th century. Around that same time, Thomas Spence was the first to propose what we now know as universal basic income. UBI isn't new; it's just overdue.

Stories like this are why I support universal housing and ubi. It won’t stop every tragedy like this, but the pilot programs have proven that it encourages people and gives them the financial safety buffer in order to get help.
