COP29 In a Genocidal Dictatorship Soaked in Blood and Fossil Fuels

Nov 7, 2024 | globalwarmingisreal.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman |Thomas Schueneman

The hyper-intelligent powers that be decided to hold COP29 in a genocidal country dependent on fossil fuels. Azerbaijan is a country guilty of both greenwashing and peace-washing. Azerbaijan’s proposed agenda for COP29 leaves out discussing the phase-out of fossil fuels. The country in the Caucasus region recently increased oil and gas production. According to an investigation by Global Witness, it plans to further increase gas production by a third more over the next decade.
Critical Senate Races for Climate Change

Oct 10, 2024 | globalwarmingisreal.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman |Thomas Schueneman

People in the hills of North Carolina are coping with historic flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. Western North Carolina is hours away from the coast. On the heels of Helene’s recovery efforts, another monster storm, Milton, has devasted Florida. We need climate action now, not in 10 years, when it will be too late. That means electing Democrats who are more likely to vote for climate bills.
Forest Degradation | Retailers Must Protect Forests | GWIR

Oct 3, 2024 | globalwarmingisreal.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman |Thomas Schueneman

Forests are vital. Around 1.6 billion people worldwide depend on healthy forests to make a living. Forests contain 80 percent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Forests also store carbon, keeping it from entering the atmosphere. However, forest degradation and deforestation is a global problem. Over the last 20 years, about 250 million acres of forest area have disappeared, equivalent to Texas and New Mexico combined. Forest degradation is likely far bigger.
Project 2025: A Recipe For Environmental Destruction

Sep 12, 2024 | globalwarmingisreal.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman |Thomas Schueneman

What would a second term for Donald Trump mean for the environment? The cornerstone of it would be a drill, baby, drill policy. Or, as the Republican National Convention Platform 2024 proclaims, “Make America the dominant energy producer in the world, by far.”That shouldn’t come as a surprise. According to Open Secrets, Trump received $951,902 in campaign contributions from oil and gas companies in the 2024 election.
How to Manage Your Emotions When Triggered

Jul 31, 2024 | possiblepath.substack.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman

Many of us toss the word trigger(s) around without thinking much about what it means. The National Association of Mental Illness (NAMI) defines a trigger as “an action or situation that can lead to an adverse emotional reaction. In the context of mental illness, referring to triggers usually means something that has brought on or worsened symptoms.”Three years ago, I read a book by David Richo titled Triggers: How We Can Stop Reacting and Start Healing.
The End of the Chevron Doctrine: SCOTUS Ushers In Environmental Deregulation

Jul 26, 2024 | globalwarmingisreal.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman |Thomas Schueneman

The current Supreme Court, packed with Trump appointees, has little regard for precedent. We first saw this in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center, overturning the nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade. In June, SCOTUS once again overturned legal precedent. The majority conservative SCOTUS overruled the 40-year case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., a 40-year-old case.
Greenhushing: Hiding Climate-Risk Disclosures Is On the Rise

Jun 20, 2024 | globalwarmingisreal.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman |Thomas Schueneman

You know what greenwashing means. Do you know what it means when a company does not publicize its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) information? It’s a lesser-known term called greenhushing, which “reflects a new dynamic in corporate climate strategy,” Kathleen Biggins, founder and president of C-Change Conversations, said in a statement shared with Global Warming Is Real in an email. Greenhushing could get public companies in trouble shortly.
How To Build Resilience As a Trauma Survivor

Jun 19, 2024 | possiblepath.substack.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman

Healing from childhood trauma requires resilience. The American Psychological Association defines resilience as “the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.”Childhood trauma is so incredibly damaging. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention links to chronic health problems, mental illness, and substance abuse in adulthood.
My Trauma Transformation Journey

Jun 12, 2024 | possiblepath.substack.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman

Here is the tale of part of my ongoing journey towards trauma transformation. I included hyperlinks to topics I already wrote about. I also included short excerpts from my journals or articles from this newsletter. May 2020. My trauma recovery journey took a turn during lockdown, that infamous time when our lives and the world slowed down to the pace of the proverbial turtle. The anxiety I always lived with became stronger than the steel once produced in Pittsburg.
Highlights from the 2024 State of the Air Report

May 30, 2024 | globalwarmingisreal.com | Gina-Marie Cheeseman |Thomas Schueneman

Is air pollution in the U.S. lessening? The findings of the American Lung Association’s 25th annual State of the Air report indicate air pollution continues to worsen in some areas of the country. Nearly 40 percent of Americans (131.2 million people) live in areas with unhealthy air basins, an increase of 11.7 million people compared to last year. Climate change plays a significant role in the increase in air pollution.
