To the ones who keep the passion, respect…

Fierce Planet Posted on December 4, 2022 by jnfrDecember 4, 2022

I’m writing a very personal post, which as usual means I’m half-blocked and writing very slowly. Can’t be helped, this is my only process. So while that goes on, let’s celebrate Jane Fonda, who at the age of 84, after five arrests and recent treatment for cancer, once again leads the Fire Drill protests that began years ago, before Covid. (gift link should get you past the firewall). Their goal is to increase awareness of the continual dangers of climate change, and to pressure Congress to take action now. Fonda retakes the Hill: ‘Cancer is scary, but the climate crisis … Continue reading →

Climate heroes

Fierce Planet Posted on August 17, 2022 by jnfrAugust 17, 2022

Including Rosemary Mosco herself. A lot of online climate change talk focuses on villains, and it can be so isolating. But there are many, many amazing people who are taking action. Here are 16 of them. pic.twitter.com/vEivvja20M — Rosemary Mosco (Bird And Moon Comics) (@RosemaryMosco) August 16, 2022

Useful legislation

Fierce Planet Posted on August 8, 2022 by jnfrAugust 8, 2022

No, it doesn’t go far enough. And yes, we still have more work to do—we must keep pushing. But this is a real victory, especially on climate change. For details on the likely effects of the bill, listen to this podcast at Dave Roberts’ Volts, where he discusses the impact of this bill with experts. And I’ll re-up this post from Bill McKibben, which outlines what our next steps must be if the bill does pass: Making Momentum Matter! – Post-Manchin, the climate fight morphs in many ways. I’ll post more analysis as I can.

The Manchin Act

Fierce Planet Posted on August 1, 2022 by jnfrAugust 1, 2022

The deeply imperfect “Inflation Reduction Act” is so important to pass. I won’t truly believe in the passage until I see it, of course, because our dysfunctional Congress does tend to kill every potential step forward. But this bill contains many policies that can help us make real progress against the most important emergency we face: climate change and the resulting disruption to current ecological systems on earth, systems that humans and other living things rely on for survival. From Rebecca Solnit and Terry Tempest Williams: Humanity can’t equivocate any longer. This is a climate emergency …The climate emergency has … Continue reading →

They do not care whether the planet lives or dies

Fierce Planet Posted on June 21, 2022 by jnfrJune 21, 2022

Stalling on climate change action is the deliberate policy of the Republican Party, and has been for a very long time. But their drive to end environmental regulation goes much further than climate change. A case being decided right now in the Supreme Court, West Virginia vs EPA, is likely to destroy the ability of the US government to regulate the environment, particularly in any way that might slow the fossil fuel industry in its march to destroy the planet. This is one of several Supreme Court cases that will be presented to us this week and next, and this … Continue reading →

The important point

Fierce Planet Posted on October 16, 2021 by jnfrOctober 16, 2021

This should be the main headline on every news site, from now until the planet burns. But it’s not of course, and that’s a shame. At least we have Sludge to point out the truth for us.

Actually, that’s one billion animals killed

Fierce Planet Posted on January 10, 2020 by jnfrJanuary 10, 2020

And even those who survive may have no habitat to return to. From the Washington Post: A billion animals have been caught in Australia’s fires. Some may go extinct. Some of the rarest species on Earth are threatened by fires scorching their habitats, scientists warn. …More than 1 billion mammals, birds and reptiles nationwide — some of them found nowhere else on Earth — may have been affected or killed by the fires sweeping across Australia, according to a University of Sydney estimate. The potential toll is far greater when other types of animals are included. “We’re not just talking … Continue reading →
