Peel those apples: washing produce doesn’t remove pesticides, study finds.
A new scientific report lends weight to consumer concerns about pesticide residues on food, presenting fresh evidence that washing fruit before eating does not remove various toxic chemicals commonly used in agriculture. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

Yeah, no....this is too fucking hot. You can feel a hot breeze of air outside as if the earth turned on the oven.
This is how streets look like in a small town while cloudy:
Imagine that most big cities are way worse and way hotter. Also imagine that instead of cars we had trees. It would make a massive difference. But our society is not built for humans, it is built for cars, stuff to consume, etc..
We know how to deal with the climate change, we know how to design better cities and create a paradise on earth for everyone. But there is no incentive to do so in a society where trade is the main driving force.
The Grab - https://www.videoneat.com/documentaries/26145/the-grab/
Watch this documentary to see how governments and companies go after buying Earth resources from other tribes, in all sorts of terrible ways. From arable land to water. In a crazy race to get enough for their own tribe because of the impacts of climate change that will devastate vast areas on this planet.
This terrible mentality of trying to survive and thrive at the expense of the rest, as if we are not living on the same planet. Same spaceship.
Very telling documentary. Some 10 years in the making.

One is a billionaire who is selling all of his books, the other one is a quite-broke human who has the courage and decency to provide her book online for free. Trade-Free. No ads, no data collection, no subscribe-here-to-read bullshit.
That's the world in which we live. The ones who make a fortune are trained and incentivized to not even share their "must read" books for free, despite having so much wealth.
Oh look, Bill Gates released a book about "How to Avoid a Climate Disaster"! It must be important.... so it is worth 18$ to read.
Grab @Sasha 's book from here https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/book/ - she also talks a lot about Climate Change, solutions, and a new kind of worldview.

One of the reasons I know individual action cannot tackle climate change is by comparing with littering. Littering could be solved by individual action, and yet it still requires collective action to keep any space clean.
Almost every day I've to drive past a high school or rather the parking lot of a high school. It's a wealthy area so most of the kids there get their own car at 16.
1 kid = 1 car.
Next block is a primary school with the same principle 1 kid = 1 pick-up car.
If I'm unlucky enough to be there around 3pm I've to witness one of the worst display of Human stupidity and selfishness where hundreds of kids and parents drive empty cars in the same directions.
How can I have any hope for the future when I see wealthy and I assume, educated people rejecting car pooling probably on the ground that it's child abuse to force kids to share a car or worst, use public transportation (the horror! /s).
Car culture is destroying not just the planet, it's destroying social solidarity.
Do the right thing.
It may not always be clear at first what the right thing is. For example, recycling is fairly easy but accomplishes much less than something more difficult such as changing your diet or giving up your car.
Learn the differences, and do the right thing. 🤗

This is a tough story and what it doesn't point out (again, normalizing this) is our #CarCulture.
How much of her monthly bills go towards a car (which is the unexpected expense causing her financial difficulty at the moment).
Corrupt politicians of former eras locked us into a built form that enslaves us to the car, ensuring roughly 1/3 of our incomes go towards car makers and oil and gas companies.
Current politicians are in no hurry to break us free from this enslavement to car maker profits. Articles like this don't point out how messed up this is. It simply normalizes a single industry taking a huge chunk of our money as the way of life.

Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.
But Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its climate.
Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work. http://www.climate.gov/news-features/features/happy-200th-birthday-eunice-foote-hidden-climate-science-pioneer #history #science #ClimateChange
Happy 200th birthday to Eunice Foote, hidden climate science pioneer

This is not planet Earth as we found it. The world we’ve known all our lives is vanishing in front of our eyes.
Human civilization was built upon the certainty of a stable, predictable climate allowing consistently reliable agriculture producing decade after decade of steady economic growth and allowing huge, thriving coastal cities.
But now we're seeing what happens when human industry pumps a *trillion* tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in only a few decades, when we warm the oceans to levels never seen before, and when we threaten the survival of everything that makes our lives possible.
The past is gone. Continue to hope and work for the best, but *prepare* for the worst.

If I had access to public transportation I could have carried on with my life while building up my finances for an EV or at least an hybrid.
But no.
Because states and cities refuse to invest into correct public transportation I had literally no choice but to get a cheap gas one in a hurry.
This really pisses me off.
I'll never say it loud enough: public transportation is fundamental to fight both social inequality and climate change.
