"Imagine you’re a NOAA weather forecaster in the field during a raging, rapidly-spreading #wildfire. Your title is #incidentmeteorologist (or #IMET), and your job is to support agencies and emergency responders who fight these devastating blazes by providing accurate weather forecasts. Your forecasts help determine a variety of factors ...

But you can’t do it alone."

"They feared me so much, they had to lock me away for eternity, and when they did that, they were saying that the individual's rights will be protected only so long as they don't conflict with the state.

"All this is the premise for understanding why the fossil fuel industry is so freaked out about this year’s election. They can read these charts as easily as anyone, and they know what’s coming.... They have to lock in customers right now, or else watch their whole business start to slowly, and then quickly, fade. And with that fade will come, inevitably, reduced political power."

""We know that triple-digit temperatures are coming again today, so that's why it's so important to get that work done at night when it is cooler," Cal Fire Battalion Chief Brent Pascua said. "We had the water-dropping helicopters back last night, so hopefully we'll see that containment come up."

"The heat affects them tremendously. You know, the work-rest cycles? They can work for a little bit but the body just needs to take a break after awhile," #CBSNews

"Those survey responses suggest that at least half of Americans may not feel they have any skin in the game when it comes to addressing global #environmentalproblems, according to Geoff Dabelko, a professor at Ohio University and expert in environmental policy and security.

Translating concern about the #environment to actual change requires people to believe they have something at stake, Dabelko said. “It’s troubling that Americans aren’t making that connection.”"
