I don't get political or witchy often on this blog, but I have an idea. Why don't we, as a group, take all of the successful energy around big oil companies and siphon it into the effort to create a COVID-19 vaccine?

As in, create some spells to redirect all the good luck from Big Oil to the COVID-19 vaccine. I don't know much about working with luck, so would this work?

I wanted to do an illustration to bring attention to an epidemic that once more is plaguing my home state of Florida. Red tide and algae blooms are a natural phenomenon in Florida waters, but runoff from the sugar industry and other human factors has caused stronger outbreaks. This red tide depletes the water of oxygen and releases dangerous toxins, killing off tons of fish, sea turtles, manatees, and more. If you’re a fellow Floridian that cares about our marine life please take these upcoming midterm elections to vote for representatives that will work to fix this growing problem. If your elected official takes large amounts of “donations” from the sugar industry and works to defund environmental protections and deregulate big businesses partially responsible for this problem (*cough* Rick Scott *cough*), maybe you should rethink your vote. #redtide #algaebloom #florida #midterms #election #marinelife #emvironment #art #illustration (at Boca Raton, Florida)

Should Canada treat climate crisis like a war?

This is the book every climate-concerned Canadian has been waiting for. Seth Klein's A Good War: Mobilizing Canada for the Climate Emergency extends the political imagination, not through utopian speculation, but through an engaging analysis of state policy, both current and historical.

The book thus highlights forgotten knowledge that free market fundamentalists would prefer we not know. First, adopt an emergency wartime mindset, and prepare to do whatever it takes to win. Consumer and volunteer action is laudable, but only the state can act with the speed and scale necessary. During the war, the federal government created new economic and governmental institutions, including 28 Crown corporations. They spent what was necessary and increased overall taxation to fund it.

An effective response requires more democracy, not less. Strong wartime political leadership helped mobilize public support. Today, social movements and tactics ranging from grassroots education to civil disobedience are also needed to push politicians. Deep social inequality is toxic to the kind of necessary social solidarity, mass mobilization and sense of shared sacrifice needed to combat climate change. "Everyone has to do their bit," including shifts in consumption, transportation and home heating. A just transition for resource-sector workers, as well as Indigenous leadership, culture and respect for aboriginal title and rights, are all essential -- both as matters of justice, and to buy time as we build transformative coalitions.

Earth to warm more quickly, new climate models show

Greenhouse gases thrust into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels are warming Earth's surface more quickly than previously understood, according to new climate models set to replace those used in current UN projections, scientists said Tuesday.

By 2100, average temperatures could rise 6.5 to 7.0 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels if carbon emissions continue unabated, separate models from two leading research centres in France showed.
