This week I'm heading to Iowa for another carbon-minimising bundle of events! It won't quite break the record set by Alaska this past Sept (30 events in 6 days) but it does make every hour count. I'll be in Cedar Falls on Thurs, Dubuque on Fri, Cedar Rapids on Sat. Details below:
Thurs 7pm I'll be speaking at @northerniowa in Cedar Falls on "Climate change and faith: Why facts are not enough" guides.lib.uni.edu/leopold-lectur…
@northerniowa Fri 12.15pm I'll be giving the lunchtime keynote address at the "Growing Sustainable Communities" conference hosted by @CityOfDubuque cityofdubuque.org/1079/Growing-S…
@northerniowa @CityOfDubuque Sat 9am-noon I'll be speaking at an interfaith call to climate action statewide gathering hosted by @iowaipl in Cedar Rapids. More info here: iowaipl.org/statewide-inte…

As you may have heard, my non-Cdn friends, the Liberal government returned to power last night but with a minority rather than a majority. What does that mean? The two best articles and explanations I read today come from a woman's magazine + the CBC kid's section! Here they are:
A million kids across Canada took part in a mock vote. Their results were notably different to those of the adults, but both resulted in a Liberal minority government. What does that mean? CBC explains: cbc.ca/kidsnews/post/…
Last night, Canada elected 98 female MPs including our @CanadianGreens leader @ElizabethMay and our minister of environment and climate @cathmckenna. Five top takeaways here: chatelaine.com/living/canadia…

My fellow Canadians - when it comes to climate change, one of the most important things each of us 18+ can do is VOTE, and our election is TOMORROW. If you have any q's or doubts, pls use the resources in this thread to inform your strategic vote. Onward! #canpoli #ClimateAction
🇨🇦 is uniquely vulnerable to climate impacts. From sea level rise that threatens coastal cities to bigger wildfires, more intense floods + thawing permafrost, we're all affected. And our cumulative carbon ems? We're the 9th biggest emitter in the WORLD.
But one party couldn't care less: the @CPC_HQ. Their climate plan has all the right words in it and it looks very nice. But when you get down to brass tacks, as @MarkJaccard shows here, their plan will actually INCREASE emissions rather than decrease them. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/augu…

#BREAK Biden a top Russian target online, new Facebook data shows

"It looked like there was a systematic focus on attacking Biden from both sides," @benimmo tells me
@benimmo Accounts with usernames like black.queen.chloe and michigan_black_community_ looked like they were run by black activists. There were also pro and anti-Trump accounts, and accounts posing as feminists, LGBTQ rights advocates, and environmentalists.

My perspective

Lack of will & intent by Govt dispensation (ஏதோ நாலு குடுமி கூட்டம் வரும், அதுக்கு இது போதும் attitude. Never expected such a turnout nor planned for it)

Lack of food items once you enter premises. Only available when you are on temple corridor.
Online booking is a scam. Period.

Forget your footwear. No place to drop them or collect back.

Lack of civility by so-called devotees. Cutting queues en masse whilst cops are mere witnesses (can't blame them, they do their vocal best).

Chances of extreme dehydration.

>>>
DO's & DONT's

Travel light✅
Wear comfy clothing✅
If affordable stay overnight and have early morning darshan (queue starts 3 am)
Stock up plenty of water.✅
Carry snacks (nuts, dry fruits, confectionery, glucose powder sachets)✅
Leave footwear at parking or residence✅

@msnweather Notice this chart shows deviations from NORMAL, or expected climatic temperatures. Yearly deviations, like in 2012, show no relationship to any human efforts to restrain the minimal #GlobalWarming of less than two degrees in two centuries.

@msnweather Most of the fires burning in Alaska [2018] are far out in wilderness. There is no need to send out fire crews to try containing them. The majority of the fires were started by lightning. Officials keep track of them but otherwise let nature run its course.

@msnweather 2018 “Overall #Alaska has seen half the number of #wildfires it gets in an average season, with significantly less acreage burned."
“It’s one of our lowest years in the last ten years,”
It's the third year in a row with a low fire season for the state.

Biggest cheer during @iowademocrats chair @troymprice's opening remarks came after he predicted #Iowa Ds will "send @joniernst into an early retirement." #IASen #HallofFame
Sen @CoryBooker is 1st candidate to speak at #HallofFame event. (19 candidates will each have 5 minutes)
"We are being tested. This is a moral moment in America, and we must meet this test. I'm running for president because we can't take 4 more years of Donald Trump." #iacaucus
But @CoryBooker isn't just running to beat Donald Trump. That's the floor, not the ceiling. We can't just run on what we are against. Democrats need to tell people what we are for. "Every American needs health care, and make no mistake, abortion is health care." #iacaucus

Trump is federally, financially & physically weakening America for invasion. idc if you think that’s a conspiracy theory

Benedict Arnold did the same thing to West Point. Offered to sell it for 20k pounds & weakened its defenses

At what price is Trump selling America to Putin?
clements.umich.edu/exhibits/onlin…
All these ppl w/o security clearance, access they should not have & the sketchiness involved.

Scores of unfilled governmental positions

If you stand back and look at the big picture is their a pattern emerging?

A pattern aimed at weakening us internally?
