Quote:Staff are ready to come in from Northern Ireland and Britain to assist in the coming days in restoring power.

Quote:    May God give you...

   For every storm, a rainbow,

   For every tear, a smile,

   For every care, a promise,

   And a blessing in each trial.

   For every problem life sends,

   A faithful friend to share,

   For every sigh, a sweet song,

   And an answer for each prayer.

Quote:A Minnesota judge decided that three activists could use the “necessity” of confronting climate change as justification in court. They’ll call on scientists and present evidence of harms from climate change to show they violated the law to protect people and had no legal alternatives.

This is one of very few times where a court has allowed the so-called “necessity defense” — which activists have previously used in cases related to the Vietnam War and abortion — in a case about climate change.
