Feeling a bit despondent today.

Because of the hurricanes, I can't work in my office because there is mold remediation happening in the building.

Because of the hurricanes, we have to remove an 80 year old oak tree that is leaning toward our house, one that will almost certainly crush half of our house in another hurricane.

So I have to witness the massacre of this great tree while I try to work from home. It is snowing sawdust. Chainsaws groan and scream. Loud thuds let me know every bough that is felled. It really sucks to be responsible for the dismantling of a great tree. I feel like we should be dismantling the house instead.

"#UniversalSuicide": An imprisoned #ClimateActivist on why the fight for the planet still matters

#JustStopOil cofounder Roger Hallam spoke with Salon about overcoming climate despair and taking action

By Matthew Rozsa

"Many people don’t need something as dramatic as #HurricaneMilton to tell them our climate is spiraling out of control. It’s evident everywhere, from the U.K. recently reporting its second worst #harvest on record to #Antarctica turning green to the U.S. spending $150 billion a year on climate change-related #ExtremeWeather events.

"But this isn’t some mysterious crisis. We know #FossilFuel companies are responsible for the emissions heating the globe. But instead of fixing it, these corporations have lied to the public, bribed politicians and sowed distrust in science. Meanwhile, governments are giving more money than ever to fossil fuel companies via subsidies, with a record $7 trillion cashed out to #BigOil in 2022.

"Some climate activist groups would like to bring your attention to this issue. But they are often arrested and get the book thrown at them when they demonstrate. Climate activist Roger Hallam knows this all too well, as he serves a five-year prison sentence for #BlockingTraffic — and, as he explained to Salon, his plight is a warning to Americans who vote for politicians that deny climate science.

"Hallam, who described himself as a #PoliticalPrisoner, was incarcerated for his role in leading and participating in an anti-climate change demonstration in November 2022. For four days, Hallam and more than three dozen other activists climbed a gantry and thereby blocked traffic in London’s critically important #M25 motorway."

EL CENTRO, Center for Puerto Rican Studies at #CUNY Hunter College also has an infographic PDF for Florida:
centropr.hunter.cuny.edu/app/u

am including the image of the PDF linked here

notice how most of the Puerto Rican population in Florida live in the path of #HurricaneHelene and #HurricaneMilton.

most of them moved there after #HurricaneMaria devastated La Isla.

"PUPDATE" on "Trooper," the white Bull Terrier who had been cruelly tied to a fence during Hurricane #Milton and left to stand in deep water as the storm rolled in. He was saved by #Florida State Trooper Orlando Morales and renamed in his honor.

In this heartwarming #CBS News clip, they are reunited. Morales drove four hours on his day off to see the dog again.

"Trooper" is currently happy and safe in a loving foster home, waiting to be adopted. The list of potential adopters is around 500 people.

His 23-year-old former owner has been identified and is facing felony criminal charges for animal cruelty.

[CW: Have a few tissues on hand for some HAPPY tears.]

"#HurricaneMilton was a massive rainmaker — overflowing canals, rivers and lakes and flooding homes and neighborhoods from North Tampa to Orlando.

#ClimateChange almost certainly made Milton’s deluge worse, scientists found in a new post-hurricane analysis — by perhaps 20 to 30 percent. Its findings don’t bode well for #Florida’s future."
