@thirdactorg.bsky.social DMV--Third Actors from the TA DC, Maryland, and VA working groups--are the DC light brigade. Here's this week's offering--with thanks to , with a new @dcmediagroup.us
thirdact.org/virginia/eve... Bringing the #ClimateCrisis to the #NoKings movement at the 3/28 March Across Memorial Bridge. Join us!
Four global maps showing near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of March in 1986-1995, 1996-2005, 2006-2015, and 2016-2025. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest over the Arctic region and Asia. Anomalies are calculated relative to 1951-1980 from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis.
Welcome to March! This visualization shows how temperatures have changed around our planet over the last four decades during this month. Red shading indicates warmer than average conditions, and blue shading the reverse.
Data from doi.org/10.24381/cds...
Much of the nation is about to experience a Massive March Heatwave over the next 10 days, with temps jumping 20-40°F above normal. We call it a blowtorch. 70s and big-time snow melt & flooding in the Northeast by next week? It’s possible! 1/
2024: Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Energy: "I ccouldn’t sleep last night because of the enormous energy suck from AI and crypto.”
2025: Jennifer Granholm, corporate lobbyist: "I'm an AI optimist."
Isn't money great?
At Third Act @thirdactorg.bsky.social we're quite old. Not quite as old as honest Abe, but still!

Guess who uses geothermal wells for heating and cooling? St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan
Also, geothermal wells can be used to provide heat without first generating electricity
Fracking technology is key
Everything you wanted to know about #geothermal but hadn’t thought to ask. “Why the Time Has Finally Come for Geothermal Energy” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
"Trump says scientists are wrong about the dangers of climate change and that the regulations slow the economy.It claims ending the rule will save Americans $1.3 trillion, but it did not factor in the costs of extreme weather caused by climate change or the costs of pollution-related health issues."
There are still good people there trying to do good work. But after the mass firings it’s going to get even harder. Tragic.
"Orphaned" (abandoned & often undocumented) oil and gas wells are a source of methane emissions in the U.S. A well that produced natural gas during its lifetime, is older, deeper, & run by a small operator is more likely to leak methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas.

Interesting distinction. Can you say more? Cite some examples or point us to analysis that supports this idea?
Facts vs lies about causes of climate change - worth a read. @naohun.bsky.social @carsoncenter.bsky.social @yalee360.bsky.social apnews.com/article/gree...
What's CERA Week? The "Super Bowl" of oil and gas conferences, where CEOs and top government officials collude to boost profits by destroying our future. Learn more at Actions Lab February meeting, Tues Feb 17 thirdact.org/actions-lab/...
And this is with the most insane fossil-fuel worshipping regime in charge ever
Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now.

Live, Laugh, Love cutting CO2e
Trump & his Republican majorities cut healthcare funding to 3x the ICE budget. So MN may no longer be able to afford healthcare, but we have seen a sharp increase in the number of masked Texans running wild in our neighborhoods with a license to kill.

A rare and welcome instance when @barackobama.bsky.social has used his immense reach to send a message on climate change. Let’s amplify!
Hello USA! China is beating us on the only metric that ultimately matters.

The extent to which China is powering the world with affordable, clean energy technologies - from solar photovoltaics to electric vehicles - is astonishing. It's already the biggest energy story of my lifetime and it's still early days.
