This is our world too we have a right to Live !!
Lesser kudu are forest antelopes found in East Africa. The females and juveniles have a reddish-brown coat, while the males become yellowish grey or darker after the age of 2 years. Males have a prominent black crest of hair on the neck. One long white stripe runs along the back, with 11-14 white stripes branching towards the sides. A black stripe runs from each eye to the nose and a white one from each eye to the center of the dark face. There is also a chevron between the eyes. The area around the lips is white, the throat has white patches, and two white spots appear on each side of the lower jaw. The underparts are completely white, while the slender legs are tawny and have black and white patches. Horns are present only on males and are dark brown and tipped with white in color
This is the sun rising through the smoke haze from the massive fires in NSW. There looks to be no end in sight as they are so massive that they cannot be controlled. A State of Emergency has been declared in NSW this week.
With no rain for 12 weeks and temperatures pushing towards 40 degrees at times the New Forest heathland has taken a battering with only patchy colour in the heather - normally transformed to purple, now burnt and dead-looking largely. It has also meant tress and ferns dressing for autumn a couple of months early so where there is summer colour it leads to a strange, but attractive colour palette. More worrying is that I've seen much less birdlife and wildlife than usual - perhaps its just me? It does make you wonder what our seasons are going to become as climate change seems to gather pace.
And who better can explain this than David Attenborough, we need to pay attention to what he says and learn how we can make a difference!

I think some people feel the same way about sports that I feel about huge election days. Though, not in a good way. I have a really hard time handling my crushing anxiety around days like today. I feel so nervous it's hard to go to work and be functional and I feel just about every emotion imaginable.
Currently, my biggest fear is that someone who is racist and non progressive like Joe Biden or Mike Bloomberg is going to win the nomination. I would be happy with either Sanders or Warren. We need a real progressive that is going to undo the four years of horror that we have all lived through. What we don't need is another billionaire that has no clue what most of the population really wants and, let's face it, with what Bloomberg is spending on ads, he could eradicate famine in the entire world. Anyone who makes the choices he's making, not time mention his racist stop and frisk past doesn't deserve to lead. These wealthy white men are deplorable. I can't take it anymore.

Sea Forest / Land De-Forest - the Madness of Mankind.
Rain forests - that reduce tons of CO2 - destroyed by the thousands of acres each day.
Wind turbines - that reduce? CO2 - built by the thousands at great cost to the electricity consumer.

Some recently painted artwork in my local park. At present behind bars to protect it.
I like the irony of protecting the artwork and our world.
I moved sideways into clouds and skies for this series. This could be a "hard hat" storm out east. Keep your "rock" umbrella as ready as I keep my rock skis ready for the early season. Finally, the fairgrounds really approached twilight's end for last summer's carny; I am ready for the rides to pop. This cloud was a feast of captures. Clouds do this as the atmosphere vastly expands after compressing, cooling and clearing the Rockies from the west. I liked this sky but there are degrees. I figured folks on the eastern plains, Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma, better go for the hard hats. Black is the new blue.
No global warming under here; no global warming under there! People won't continue to believe the TheRump's lies after FEMA is broke. This will soon be a thumper and those folks will need to flash the sign of the cross to the heavens. That fossil-fueled summer heated up our atmosphere and with 8% more atmospheric moisture trigger smack downs worl d wide! Insurance companies declare events as acts of god instead of global warming for obvious reasons. They don't have payouts if they can blame god. It's more important to stage a WWIII even before our regular scheduled mass extinction. Few southern conservatives are listening. "The extinction won't be televised," Gil Scott Heron. Well... scientists said the weather would be more violent as the climate warmed. The heating increased humidity in the atmosphere by 8%. Here we are, we have met the enemy and he is us.
I believe we're facing the most important moment in our generation, perhaps in any generation yet. We talk about saving the planet, but the planet will survive. Life on it, maybe not. To stop us hurtling towards extinction will take massive and immediate change from every government, every business and every individual. No one will be immune from the crisis. We're all responsible for causing it - and we can all be responsible for preventing it.
big storm in the forecast - again. Yesterday there was a violent storm and Tornado at UBC.

Sedotto dalla cappa di caldo, l’avventore della piazza trova ristoro nella parvenza d’ombra di un albero stordito dagli umori del suo sudore.
Another poster supporting action on Climate Change. It is amazing how our government leaders seem to live in a bubble of denial.

Get off your couches people and join a protest or go talk to your local member.
This brave woman was one of several people arrested in Trafalgar Square for daring to peacefully resist the government's inaction on the climate and cost of living crisis. She had been participating in a "Just Stop Oil" demo, by sitting on the road, on the south side of the square and had been holding a placard declaring "We will not pay for greed."
Another activist explained his own interpretation of the placard - "We refuse to go hungry to feed your profits, we refuse to sacrifice our planet on the altar of greed."
This and other similar protests occur as a tiny corporate minority are profiteering from the surge in the oil price, inflicting misery on working families, and while also benefiting the government's backing for new oil fields.
The UK's mainstream TV network Sky News network reported in August 2022 that "the country has seen a huge spike in the number of people becoming billionaires." - Yes, that's right, a "huge spike" in the middle of the UK's longest decline in working families' living standards in 200 years.

The UK government claims that it doesn't have enough funds to support the NHS, the disabled, the homeless or working families who can't afford to heat their homes. It also explains its inability to take any of the steps desperately needed to avert catastrophic climate change, due to the supposed cost.
All the while it allows UK oil companies to profit from the Ukraine War by setting the maximum possible market price thereby plunging ordinary families into poverty. It also continues to allow individuals and corporations to hide their wealth in tax havens, hands out billions by propping up, via the Bank of England's open market operations, the assets of wealthy bond holders and it still privileges multinationals with the lowest corporation tax, by a significant margin, in the G7, and also in the G20.
According to the Just Stop Oil website, just a few days prior to when this photo was taken, a spokesperson for the activist group set out their demands -
“Rishi Sunak is about to U-turn on attending COP27. We demand that he also U-turn on new oil and gas. This genocidal policy will kill millions of people, while failing to address the worst cost of living crisis this country has ever seen.
“It's time for a serious windfall tax on big oil, without the get-out-of-jail-free tax credits that will encourage more oil and gas that we cannot afford. Vulnerable people will be freezing to death in their homes this winter, unable to afford a can of soup, while his government refuses to tax the rich and the big energy companies that are profiting from our misery.
“We owe it to our young people to stop fossil fuels, we owe it to our workers to create a just transition to a zero-carbon economy, we owe it to our old people to enable them to live with dignity. We are not prepared to stand by and watch while everything we love is destroyed."

January 26, 2018: Rise and Resist and the Weekly Impeach. Climate change activists at the Winter Garden NYC
Parent picking up their child from school on the way to a holiday Christmas. Hope all stay safe and have a merry time. Looks like no snow this December, similar to the ice storm of '98. I hope that is the only similarity between the two dates. Hope the lights stay on for all. Wish all a safe and have a merry time.
