The outcome

Fierce Planet Posted on April 6, 2023 by jnfrApril 6, 2023

…of the catalytic converter thefts that led us to leave our beloved Prius behind is this: a fairly new 2021 Nissan Leaf. Fully electric, no catalytic converter involved. The whole situation has been an extreme PITA, but this is a decent outcome, and we are happy. My Prius was cuter though.

Shatner touches the sky

Fierce Planet Posted on April 2, 2023 by jnfrApril 2, 2023

And it changes his perspective on Earth. In a new documentary on his life, he recalls how he felt when he first returned from a short trip into outer space. William Shatner gets existential prior to the premiere of his documentary, You Can Call Me Bill …Shatner’s been a little more existential since his trip up into outer space on one of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin expeditions. It’s spurred him to get more involved in environmental activism as he thinks about humanity in a greater sense. “When I came out of the space ship I was crying, just sobbing, and … Continue reading →

What I’ve been doing

Fierce Planet Posted on March 31, 2023 by jnfrMarch 31, 2023

Mostly I’ve been trying to write something difficult again, which is always painful for me. But my temper has had other trials as well, in the shape of unknown thieves who one night stole the catalytic converter from our 2004 Prius. Yeah, we’ve been driving this car for nearly 20 years. We don’t drive much—the mileage is under 50,000 even after all this time. It was paid for years ago, and has been remarkably cheap to run. We planned to keep it for another decade at least. So when the converter was taken, we contacted our repair shop and the … Continue reading →

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

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.

An excellent choice

Fierce Planet Posted on March 18, 2021 by jnfrMarch 19, 2021

Deb Haaland was sworn in today as Secretary of the Interior. This is the best choice Biden could have made for this position. In the New Yorker, Bill McKibben said: [M]uch of the pressure will fall on Haaland, because the territory she’s responsible for is so vast, and the political terrain so charged. She’s a brilliant choice because, with luck, she’ll be able to summon the rest of the country to appreciate the legacy that she now protects: the amazing landscape of the American West, the ancestral home of her own people and of many of our ideas about American … Continue reading →

Deb Haaland for Interior Secretary

Fierce Planet Posted on February 24, 2021 by jnfrApril 22, 2021

“I acknowledge that we are on the ancestral homelands of the Nakochtank, Anacostan, and Piscataway people.” Above is her opening statement. Tom Udall and Mark Udall say, in USA Today: Rep. Haaland’s nomination is both historic and long overdue. If confirmed, she would be the first Native American Cabinet member. Her record is in line with mainstream conservation priorities. Thus, the exceptional criticism of Rep. Haaland and the threatened holds on her nomination must be motivated by something other than her record. Of course as a woman she gets more scrutiny, even more so as an Indigenous woman. Today she … Continue reading →
