I almost forgot this screenshot I took on Monday evening.
I took it after I heard that our lowest night temperature was supposed to be 24C, which I couldn't quite believe. These are the tropics, but even here February is usually cold - at least our "cold", which means 10-15C at night or lower. I switched to Summer now: Shorts, t-shirt and no more jacket on the bike.
I wonder though: If this is February, what will the real Summer be like?

The Biden administration suspended new permits for natural gas terminals. Can we see more of this kind of backbone?
Ten days ago Joe Biden did something remarkable, and almost without precedent – he actually said no to big oil.
His administration halted the granting of new permits for building liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals, something Washington had been handing out like M&Ms on Halloween for nearly a decade. It’s a provisional “no” – Department of Energy experts will spend the coming months figuring out a new formula for granting the licenses that takes the latest science and economics into account – but you can tell what a big deal it is because of the howls of rage coming from the petroleum industry and its gaggle of politicians.
And you can tell something else too: just how threadbare their arguments have become over time. Biden has called their bluff, and it’s beautiful to watch.

When the well is dry
Where will you turn
And which of your family
Are you gonna watch burn
No history books for you
To be on the wrong side of
What will be the meaning of
Your monetary triumph
While we all, have to pay
It's not far away
The people who deny
Yeah they know that it's a lie
They hope you buy what they are faking
The private jets they fly
All the solutions they won't try
Still here is what they're saying
"Let's keep mining coal" as if
It's saving those towns
I'm not blaming those towns
Why should we save our home?
Because when it goes down
We'll all go down
Yeah we'll all go down
