The Summer of 2023 seems to be a moment where seemingly far future predictions of climate catastrophe are all suddenly around us in real time. From heat domes to a melted Antartic, we are in the midst of a climate changed world. It can be demoralizing. What to do and think? Esch of us needs to find our own special super-power to act in community with others to build a better world.
The reading list:
- The Antarctic
- Boston Globe on heat domes
- The Guardian on links to CO2 as cause of current weather events
- Wildfires in Mediterranean

- Collapse of Gulf Stream
- Photos of smoke in Boston

- The Climate MInute speaks to a climate inspired song writer
- MCAN on the Zero Carbon Renovation Fund
- Gandalf Quote
- Find the current global CO2 ppm here
- How many days ‘til 2030?
Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for a building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist the United States transform it’s energy sector, over the next decade, under a just and equitable plan, that uses regulations, investments and a price on carbon that protects environmental justice communities.
Thanks for listening.
