Millions of people from Dhaka to San Salvador and dozens of cities in between marched and carried signs demanding action on Friday as part of the Global Climate Strike.
So wonderful to see this. Brings it right to Twitler and Moscow Mitch and the 1000’s of other congresspricks denying methane and CO2 in order to stay on their thrones.
Big Crowd in Seattle. I cannot get home. The transit system was trashed. 4th Avenue is a major transportation thoroughfare.
It’s the future warning us now.
I am so proud of these kids.
Which event did Barron Trump not attend?
Given the number of cities around the world holding protests, this seems like it has to be the single biggest protest ever. Very much a “We are all one people” moment.
We are in Gothenburg for a year. My 5th-grader came home and told us about the strike. He wanted to go, but it had already started.
Climate change appears in almost all the subjects in his school. He’s currently learning about sources of conflict (from individual-scale to global), sustainability, and cooperation. Tonight, he told us that he’d like the family to eat less meat.
Thank you children!
My only surprise is Trump has not Tweeted their schools demanding unexcused absences.
I’ve been watching Our Planet on Netflix and it really demonstrates just how interconnected everything is. Dust storms from the desert blow out to sea and provide nutrients for microbial plants, which form the basis for all sea life in the shallows and high seas. Then coastal terrestrial and aviary animals bring some of that back to land and it all cycles around. There’s no such thing as an ecosystem in isolation. They all touch each other.
It’s the utmost arrogance to assume that we can’t disrupt (or repair) these interconnected systems. We’re the apex predators of pretty much every ecosystem on the planet now where life is abundant (not so much in the largest ecosystem, the deep seas, but we’re still having a significant impact there too from our trash and pollution).
My rage at Mitchie Moscow abounds. He and Barr are keeping Trump in power. And all the energy we spend in (by necessity) fighting to remove Trump from office is taken from the needed energy we require to save our Planet
Got back from our small town’s event two hours ago. Been working through the photos, as they asked me to document the event.
Here are some I particularly enjoyed:
Some of our elementary school kids, had two of them as 2nd grader swimmers 
Couldn’t help but smile as I shot this.
Big kids too!
Applause! Applause! Great photos from a seemingly wonderful community effort.
Thanks. It was fun as well. We only have 7,000 people in town, about 450 made it. Some shop owners closed for an hour so their folks could go. people driving buy were honking and waving. Even the guys driving gas and redwood log trucks were honking and waving. Love our active little town!
I can’t express how sad this really is.
I trust I needn’t explain why.

In the future if anyone here wants to buy or lease a car they should consider only these
Ford, Honda, BMW of North America and Volkswagen Group of America signed on to the deal with the California Air Resources Board, promising to implement the targets across their entire fleet, regardless of what the federal government does.
Cool it’s up to 22 states, originally they had us plus 17.
There seems to be a usual suspects thing going on when 45 crosses ethical and unconstitutional boundaries and the same bunch of blue or blue leaning states stand together to oppose him.
Becerra’s lawsuit is supported by the attorneys general in 22 states: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.
There does, doesn’t there. Always glad to see it.
