Tundra training for Wallace today, our friend the Akbash/Pyrenees boy 18 months old now. All new to him, this environment. But his heritage is guarding herds in harsh places like this. Tony was able to get him from digging for Marmots and stay closer in general, Wallace did well . Melting of course, but slower on the 2 large ice patches 3050-3200m since we were last in 7/25, and some rain. So tundra was nice soft/springy. Cool 8C lite NW wind, felt great. #climate #dogs #hiking #mountains #gye

Oil giants turn heads after walking away from critical international effort: 'The more we delay, the more cover we are providing

Major oil and gas companies have walked away from a global climate working group as it was preparing to implement standards cracking down on dirty energy expansion

The unusual weather pattern stems from complex atmospheric interactions, including shifts in regional pressure systems and the influence of larger climatic phenomena such as the Indian Ocean Dipole and ENSO, which can bring wetter and cooler conditions to East Africa. Climate experts warn that such volatile weather extremes may become more frequent with ongoing climate change, necessitating improved preparedness & infrastructure resilience

Chapter 16: #Climate Change: Where is the accountability for the killers ushering in the Dream-destroying climate apocalypse?
#ThomHartmann

..."Families across America have lost their homes, family members, and livelihoods to wildfires, floods, extreme heat and cold, mile-wide tornadoes, bomb cyclones, heat domes, hurricanes, and drought caused by today’s climate emergency, but nonetheless they have to pay taxes subsidizing the fossil fuel industry that helped cause..."

We are the first generation that can end extreme poverty and the last that can prevent runaway climate change. We hold every card. History will ask if we played them.

We wrote an in-depth essay about this unique moment and the responsibility that comes with it. It is not about optimism, but about the specific, systematic work required to build a better future.
