Have you seen this? It is awful for large parts of the US. Michigan is in a better position. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #Climate #USA
Last was "The Little Ice Age" by Brian Fagan. While I would've liked a more global perspective, Fagan does demonstrate how radical climate change, beginning around 1300, dramatically altered conditions both gradually and violently, contributing to a number of crises across Europe and beyond. Highly recommend

Climate change is increasing landslide risk. Canadian tech has a solution
Ok so watched the season premier for #TulsaKing last night. The scene were Bodie shows up with a bright green EV is quite funny but I correctly predicted that they would use it to bash EVs and spread misinformation.
Sure enough when they had to recharge it became a big drama and everyone was slagging off the car.
Totally stupid because a 5 minute top up would have been enough to get to Kansas City and make the drop.
I have decided that Taylor Sharidon (show creator) is a right wing hack who is using his platform to promote fossil fuels. With this scene and the one in "The Landman" where Billy Bob Thornton goes off on a misinformation screed about wind power, it is clear there is another agenda.

At Fallowfield VIA station yesterday. All the corn fields between Ottawa and Brockville look like this: parched dry and useless as silage. This is shaping up to be a major disaster for farmers.

Climate Summary – August 2025
"Globally, August 2025 is the third hottest on record with the hottest and second-hottest Augusts occurring in 2023 and 2024, respectively. In Maine, August temperatures ranged from normal to slightly above average, with an overall average temperature of 64.8°F – roughly 1.8°F warmer than normal historical temperatures. Mid-August brought record-breaking high temperatures in Caribou at 94°F, and Millinocket at 95°F, with a heat wave that carried through much of the state. Temperatures are expected to return to normal through September and are likely be above average from October through January (National Weather Service).
Total rainfall statewide was below normal in August with an average total of only 1.93 inches, which is approximately 1.58 inches less than historic averages for the state in August. As the pattern of reduced rainfall this summer continues into September, we are continuing to see consistent #drought conditions for much of the state. At the end of August, an estimated 86% of Maine was experiencing some level of drought, and approximately 53% of those areas affected were under severe drought conditions. With a continued rainfall deficit, drought in the southern two-thirds of Maine will persist into September, but may decline over the coming months as rain totals are expected to be close to normal in October and November (National Weather Service). Soil moisture is forecasted to be below 70% percentile for much of the state through October (U.S. Drought Monitor).
Severe drought conditions may lead to yellowing foliage, premature leaf drop, dry soil, low water levels in streams, reservoirs, and wells, and, at times, can lead to increased fire danger. Maine Forest Service (#MFS) Rangers continue to recommend checking the daily Wildfire Danger Report and consult with local fire officials before conducting any open burning."

AI needs massive amounts of computing power to run its large language models. Data centers need massive amounts of electricity. Put it all together and it’s fair to ask: Is AI throwing our climate under the bus?
