Philadelphia there is a #ClimateRevolution going on and seems our elected officials didn't get the memo on the #CleanEnergyRevolution. Extractive Economy other than fishing is detrimental to our communities. July 26, 2016 i joined It Takes Roots to Change the System Caravan “Toxic Tour”
in south philly to protest and demand that the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority consider proposals for Southport to provide sustainable jobs that do not depend on extractions. The Clinton's started this destruction to our Earth and for some reason continue to support the fracking industry.

SEPTA we can do better than fracking in Philadelphia. i'm impressed with how much time and effort Septa puts into renewable energy, but don't understand their desire to build a natural gas plant in Philadelphia, with all the harm that fracking does to our environment. No way should the city of Philadelphia consider such a harmful extraction from our earth. There is so much evidence proving the cancers and climate change occurring because of toxic natural gas extractions and the nuclear waste that sits and sits and sits, slowly evaporating into our air. Solar Panels and Wind Power would be just as profitable with little to no harm to our environment. Please visit 350 Philly to learn more about this campaign. Please sign Pa. Clean Air Petition!!

#climatechange Twitter activists! Our friends at Green Justice Philly want us to tweet about today's code orange air quality alert:

------
Let everyone on social media know about it, especially the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority which is @PhilaPort on twitter. We really want them to know that citizens of Philly are taking notice of our air quality and how their ongoing process for building at Southport will effect that moving foward.

Other good targets on twitter are Mayor Kenney (@PhillyMayor), City Council (@PHLCouncil), your individual councilperson and Governor Wolf (@GovernorTomWolf). You can tag up to ten people in a photo on twitter which gives you room to both include a message and direct it to people's attention, so photograph the haze and let people know about it. Hashtags we are trying to use are#RightToBreathe, #NoNewPermits, #CleanEnergyRevolution and#ActOnClimate.

Please view and see how fracking is destroying communities. Thanks @joshfoxfilm!!

New Orleans Artist Aria Doe Paintings after Hurricane Katrina

The new film “Dear President Obama: THE CLEAN ENERGY REVOLUTION IS NOW" is a direct appeal to the President – and to all elected officials – to carefully consider the growing evidence proving that hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas is hardly the path to energy independence that many promote.

Together, we’re banning fracking

Using the same winning organizing model that secured statewide bans on fracking in New York and Vermont and a moratorium in Maryland, Food & Water Watch and our grassroots allies are building on this momentum to win more victories in our campaign to ban fracking. This means not only stopping fracking but also related fossil fuel infrastructure projects like pipelines and LNG terminals. We’re working to ban fracking nationwide on public lands and have active and vital campaigns in states and have made important gains in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Pennsylvania, as well as other states across the country.

167 Tiny Maps Tell the Major Story of Climate Change

Published: August 31st, 2016

By Brian Kahn

Climate change just got another telling visual courtesy of the famed temperature spiral creator. But rather than a graph, it’s a series of 167 maps.

Alone, they each tell the story of whether a year was mostly hot or mostly cold or mostly average. Together, they show unequivocally how much our planet has warmed since the 1850s, including the rapid rise over the past three decades.

See Earth’s Temperature Spiral Toward 2°C

Published: May 9th, 2016

By Andrea Thompson

The steady rise of Earth’s temperature as greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere and trap more and more heat is sending the planet spiraling closer to the point where warming’s catastrophic consequences may be all but assured.

That metaphoric spiral has become a literal one in a new graphic drawn up by Ed Hawkins, a climate scientist at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. The animated graphic features a rainbow-colored record of global temperatures spinning outward from the late 19th century to the present as the Earth heats up.
