#climate change editorial

[meteorologistaustenlonek]

"It’s alarming that only a few weeks into the summer we’ve already experienced a prolonged heat wave that has put about 36 million Americans under excessive heat warnings and shattered temperature records across the West."

"But even as Americans die from preventable heat-related illness, officials aren’t using all the tools available to them to respond."

"There are few areas where modernization of disaster response is more pressing than with heat waves. The old ways just aren’t cutting it anymore. Americans deserve a robust approach that’s befitting of our new #climatereality."

LA Times editorial

As I now have all seasons together of my little red house in nature seasonal series, I wanted to post them all together 🌸🌳🍂❄️ But as it's maybe all a bit too idealistic, I wanted to add the ✨️climate change edition✨️ with weather being off seasonal, drought and heat periods increasing, as well as floods and storms 🫠

(Anyone else having problems with uploading multiple pictures to tumblr? I just needed 10 minutes for this post cause tumblr was always freezing)

Scientific American:

In the November election, the U.S. faces two futures. In one, the new president offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience. She pushes policies that boost good jobs nationwide by embracing technology and clean energy. She supports education, public health and reproductive rights. She treats the climate crisis as the emergency it is and seeks to mitigate its catastrophic storms, fires and droughts.

In the other future, the new president endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical conspiracy fantasies. He ignores the climate crisis in favor of more pollution. He requires that federal officials show personal loyalty to him rather than upholding U.S. laws. He fills positions in federal science and other agencies with unqualified ideologues. He goads people into hate and division, and he inspires extremists at state and local levels to pass laws that disrupt education and make it harder to earn a living. Only one of these futures will improve the fate of this country and the world. That is why, for only the second time in our magazine’s 179-year history, the editors of Scientific American are endorsing a candidate for president. That person is Kamala Harris. Before making this endorsement, we evaluated Harris’s record as a U.S. senator and as vice president under Joe Biden, as well as policy proposals she’s made as a presidential candidate. Her opponent, Donald Trump, who was president from 2017 to 2021, also has a record—a disastrous one. 

[...] One of two futures will materialize according to our choices in this election. Only one is a vote for reality and integrity. We urge you to vote for Kamala Harris.

For just the 2nd time in Scientific American’s history, they have endorsed a Presidential candidate: Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

The other time they endorsed was for President Joe Biden in 2020.

Instead of getting an actual expert on AI to write this book, they just got someone who wants to suck AI's dick 🤦‍♀️

The first two spreads of “Finite Place” - an illustrated accordion book highlighting the ideas of four writers and their work on the ecological crisis. For this project blending book and editorial illustration, I selected excerpts from Amitav Ghosh’s The Great Derangement, Vanessa Nakate’s A Bigger Picture, Jenny Odell’s How To Do Nothing and Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass. Each page illustrates a particular author’s message and the broader “narrative” the combined quotes create as they flow together.
