Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online.

It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

I've been following this project for a few years and it's fun to start seeing hard results. Covering irrigation canals with PV solar panels is turning out to be one of those awesome win-win-win scenarios where there's less water loss and less algae growth

You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

Actually I don't find it funny at all. We've wasted $72 billion, seriously made life harder and more expensive for those in our country that can least afford it. It's a debacle that infuriates me.

(A contemptuous joke about a Four Seasons hospice that might get a sincere man tossed off a social media site platform was slated for this space. Discretion and politesse intervenes.) Instead, thoughts and prayers for America's mayor. And by this, of course, I refer to Fiorello LaGuardia.

The NWT has… “inadequate” EV infrastructure, so when I heard that a charger opened last week 300km away I had to go check. BONUS: it’s cloudy in Yellowknife but it wasn’t in Ft Providence and I got EXCELLENT Aurora shots 😎

"Trump is a bad person" didn't work in the last election. People already know that, but many pretend he will help them anyway. TRY: "You hoped Trump would help you. But Donald only helps himself. He's pocketed billions while making you poorer, thanks to his high inflation, tariffs, & gas prices."
