<b>California is on fire! Greenville County is being turned to ash
by uncontrolled wildfires!</b><br>
Aug 7, 2021<br>
Crazy Weather<br>
California is on fire! Greenville County is being turned to ash by
uncontrolled wildfires!<br>
<br>
The Dixie Fire, California’s largest wildfire, tore through the town
of Greenville on Wednesday, leveling much of the downtown area along
with several homes. The fire has grown to more than 400 square miles
across two counties.<br>
The Dixie Fire has scorched 278,227 acres and was 35% contained on
Wednesday evening, Cal Fire officials said. The blaze had also swept
through Rich Bar, a Gold Rush-era ghost town.<br>
Forty-five structures have been destroyed, 22 “minor structures”
have been destroyed, and the blaze is threatening another 12,438
structures, Cal Fire officials said on Wednesday night.<br>

<b>Greece: Residents flee as wildfires approach | DW News</b><br>
Aug 7, 2021 - DW News<br>
Thousands of residents fled a wildfire north of Athens early Friday
as Greece's government warned of tough days ahead.<br>
<br>
Firefighters continued their efforts to prevent the flames from
reaching populated areas, electricity installations and historic
sites, as the region faces its fourth day of inferno.<br>
<br>
In heat wave conditions, fires tore through forest areas 20
kilometers (12.5 miles) north of the capital, destroying dozens of
homes. Fires are also causing destruction in the Peloponnese, a
peninsula located at the southern tip of the mainland; and in
Euboea, Greece's second-largest island. These two regions, along
with Athens, are suffering blazes of "enormous strength and scale,"
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said.<br>
<br>
Nearly 60 villages and settlements were evacuated Thursday and early
Friday across southern Greece, with temperatures set to increase in
the coming days.<br>
<br>
In a suburb north of Athens, a 38-year-old man died after he was hit
by a falling transmission tower, according to the hospital that
treated him.<br>
<br>
Mitsotakis warned of strong westerly winds on Friday, meaning the
affected regions are going through an "unprecedented" situation
"because the past few days of heat and drought have turned the
country into a powder keg."<br>

[Dave Roberts Opinion]<br>
<b>Crunch time: this is America's last chance at serious climate
policy for a decade</b><br>
It's going to be a clean energy standard & clean energy tax
credits, or nothing.<br>
David Roberts - - Aug 7<br>
This is it, folks! The home stretch. It’s time to pay attention,
call your members of Congress, and mobilize your networks.<br>
<br>
Congress is working on what is likely to be its last big shot at
climate change policy for a decade or more. If things go well, the
legislation will include a clean energy standard (CES) and clean
energy tax credits, which together would revolutionize the US
electricity system. If things don’t go well, there will be no
substantial climate legislation for many years to come...<br>
- -<br>
It’s going to be the CEPP and tax credits or nothing big for
climate. If both those policies are put in place, it could set the
US power system on a new course and strengthen American credibility
at the upcoming COP26 international climate meeting. If they slip
through the cracks, climate will have to settle for scraps and the
US will surrender all hope of meeting its climate targets or
influencing others to do the same.<br>
<br>
For the next few months, this is all matters. If you’ve ever
considered getting involved, now is the time.<br>

[Activism -- make the call now]<br>
<b>IF YOU WANT TO STOP CLIMATE CHANGE, CALL 202-318-1885 TO TELL
YOUR SENATORS TO ACT NOW.</b><br>
What to say when you call:<br>
Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], I am one of the Senator’s constituents
living in [YOUR CITY/TOWN, STATE]. I wanted to ask the Senator to
support a big, bold climate bill, that invests at the scale of the
crisis, including the following 4 things:<br>
<blockquote><b>A Clean Electricity Standard that cuts pollution and
modernizes our grid.</b><br>
<br>
<b>Directing 40% of funding to frontline communities.</b><br>
<br>
<b>No more subsidies for fossil fuel corporations.</b><br>
<br>
<b>A Civilian Climate Corps that puts people to work.</b><br>
</blockquote>
There are many more climate investments we need now. The bottom line
is the climate investments must be big to meet the climate crisis
head on.<br>

<b>Naomi Oreskes On Exxon's Decades-Long Doubt Campaign And Big
Oil's Bad Week</b><br>
Jun 5, 2021<br>
The Climate Pod<br>
#climatechange #exxon #oreskes #shell #merchantsofdoubt<br>
<br>
Last week, we saw massive news break for some of the world's biggest
fossil fuel companies. ExxonMobil was one of the companies that
received backlash for climate inaction and our guest this week, Dr.
Naomi Oreskes, has been following the company for a long time. Her
recent paper with Dr. Geoffrey Supran, “Rhetoric and frame analysis
of ExxonMobil’s climate change communications” looks at the
company's decades-long campaign to sow climate doubt. We discuss
their findings and last week's news.<br>

<b>ExxonMobil wants you to feel responsible for climate change so it
doesn’t have to</b><br>
A new study reveals how the oil company used “cutting-edge
propaganda” to focus on fossil fuel consumption.<br>

<b>Oil and Gas Inundated Facebook With Election Season Ads After
Biden Released Climate Plan</b><br>
ExxonMobil and the American Petroleum Institute were top spenders in
a $9.6 million election-year fossil fuel marketing blitz targeting
U.S. Facebook users.<br>
Oil and Gas Inundated Facebook With Election Season Ads After Biden
Released Climate Plan<br>
Sharon Kelly - - Aug 5, 2021<br>
- -<br>
The vast majority of the oil and gas industry’s ads were paid for
between July and November 2020, InfluenceMap found, adding that
there appeared to be a sharp uptick immediately after Biden released
his sweeping climate plan last July...<br>
ExxonMobil alone paid Facebook over $5 million — more than half the
total examined — to show the company’s ads over 139 million times in
2020. The second-highest spender studied was the American Petroleum
Institute, which paid Facebook $2.97 million, and OneAlaska — a
political group whose three top donors were BP Alaska,
ConocoPhillips, and ExxonMobil, ranked third, spending $330,00. <br>
<br>
“Despite its own commitment to mitigate climate change, Facebook
continues to receive millions of dollars from the oil and gas
industry every year to post ads promoting the use of fossil fuels,”
InfluenceMap wrote. “It received $9,597,376 for the ads covered in
this research.<br>
- -<br>
“Some of the most significant tactics found included tying the use
of oil and gas to maintaining a high quality of life, promoting
fossil gas as green, and publicizing the voluntary actions taken by
the industry on climate change,” the report concludes.<br>
<br>
That’s all on top of ads that actively promoted outright climate
denial in 2020, which a previous InfluenceMap report found Facebook
users saw at least 8 million times during the first half of 2020.<br>
<br>
“The research also shows the industry is using social media
strategically,” InfluenceMap concluded, “and deploying its ads at
key political moments.”<br>
<br>
InfluenceMap’s findings drew a scathing response from Democratic
Rep. Ro Khanna, chairman of the Environment Subcommittee of the
House Committee on Oversight and Reform, CNN reports.<br>
<br>
“For decades, fossil fuel companies have misled the public, to
regulators, and to Congress about the true danger posed by their
products,” Khanna said in a statement to CNN Business, noting that
his committee intends to ask fossil fuel CEOs to testify before the
Congressional subcommittee soon. “This report proves our knowledge
that the industry’s disinformation campaign is alive and well.”<br>
