How #fossilfuels mutated #Milton.
#Climate #scientists - historic #storm represents "the profound irresponsibility, culpability" of #polluters. #ExxonMobil scientists warned continued #fossilfuel #burning would lead 2 “potentially #catastrophic events" those catastrophes represent “profound irresponsibility, culpability of fossil fuel industry that knowingly hid evidence of tremendous danger of their product to humanity, the planet. A whole higher category of crime.” heated.world/p/how-fossil-fuel

This story about the meteoric rise and dramatic fall of Lambda, the for-profit school of Silican Valley reads like a thriller.

From an illustrious founder, deceipt, $100 million + of funding and burning, real villains, criminality and an unexpecting outing, it is all there.

One quote: "It sucks so bad that they are getting away with this, especially when the students are mostly minority or in vulnerable positions."

Reality beats fiction once again.

Americans I’m sorry but your government is disgusting and vile . And most of your people are ignorant communists or nazis . With just a handful of you that think logically but out of those people . Almost none of you know how to get a point across without burning something down or screaming at it . Historically burning things never works. learn to vote things or people out of office. As a country you all are so close to implosion. #america #usa #burning #communist #nazi

Petersen’s district has lurched from one #book controversy to another in recent yrs. In 2021, the #Spotsylvania #school board voted to remove sexually explicit tomes from #libraries, w/2 members suggesting #burning them — remarks that drew national scorn. The board later rescinded that decision. Then, this spring, the superintendent pulled 14 books for “sexually explicit material” — including #ToniMorrison’s “#Beloved” — & suggested shutting down #SchoolLibraries to address budget shortfalls.

There are now 880 #wildfires #burning across #Canada, 580 of them out of control, according to the #Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. As s#moke crosses the border this week, about 70 million people in the US, including residents of Chicago, Detroit, New York, St. Louis, and Cleveland, will experience decreased visibility and poor air quality. The smoke plume has already reached as far south as Alabama. qz.com/canadas-massive-wildfir #pollution #healthcare #forests #ClimateCrisis #AirQuality

QuartzCanada's massive wildfire problem is worseningBy Clarisa Diaz

Disinformation accounts on the #Birdsite are recirculating #burning #tire imagery from Kuwait (several OLD incidents, none this year) attempting to say that it's no use trying to do anything about "fake" climate change, and it's because of burning tires. There's no tire fires there, or anywhere, causing wildfire smoke in Canada. No Jewish satellites involved, either, or crazy Portland hippies in Birkenstocks running wild through the land with lighters.
