Time for the US to get a new president.

I think I have figured out what's going on.

Always happy to help with costume ideas for your #cats.

Best 'bonus moment of doom' ever? "we’re heating the planet 10 times faster than ever before in planetary history. And this fact alone means that scientific models are hampered, likely incomplete and inaccurate, because there’s no precedent for what’s happening."

Xi is like, "Who the fuck are these weirdos?"

What could go wrong?

I’m just saying Billie Joe MacAllister should’ve survived that jump.

It’s astonishing to see this, even though we saw it coming months ago. White = 10°F + above normal in the El Niño regions. Its immense! In the air, a regional warming of 10° is no big deal. But in the ocean it’s immense! Think about how hard it is/ how long it takes to cool/ heat your pool. 1/

Gosh, that’s too bad, anyway…🤷🏼‍♂️

So 2026

"The dip in Russian oil production is only temporary, as output is expected to recover once refineries come back online after unscheduled maintenance" I predict there will be more unscheduled maintenance in days ahead.

With strong herd immunity to basic facts and overwhelming evidence, I’m anticipating the wackos and grifters will rebrand these as cures for measles and Ebola.

Hansen warned last year that even 2 degrees is dead. Glad to see the UN is catching up.

One of several eyebrow-raisers in here. (Happy Holidays?) "California’s highest king tides are predicted on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, with another in late January. Water levels will probably rival the highest in recorded history, even without a nearby storm."

Measured against an already superheated ocean, it may not be the strongest gradient, but there are still zetajoules of heat to be unleashed on the atmosphere.

The first time was June 20, 2020. It won’t the last. The Arctic is warming at nearly four times the global average rate,

Thinking we have time left to address climate change, or that “Net Zero by 2050” will save us, is driving us toward full social collapse in ways that become more obvious with every new broken temperature record.

Give it a month or two of failing systems and creeping insanity and they will envy the dead

Who knew ignoring climate change would be a problem for the economy

Even if Canada unilaterally ceased all fossil fuel production (destroying its economy) and could somehow miraculously achieve net zero overnight, it is only a tiny fraction of the global CO2 problem. The terrible dilemma here is there is no way out of this that we don't all lose. We are doomed.

Canada's largest ice cream company used to source its fruits and nuts from U.S. suppliers — some for over 30 YEARS. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products. So, what did Chapman's do? They called Italy. They called Spain. They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.

Dolly Parton, the beloved country music superstar known as much for her philanthropy and theme park business as she was for her chart-topping hit songs, has died at 80.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Twelve years of Russia's attempts to break Ukrainians. Already 1644 days of full-scale war. And every day of this struggle has a face. These are all our people who continue to act, work, help and do everything every day to ensure that Ukraine exists. Thank you to each and every one.

"A narrow class of people is profiting from our anguish. They know they’re setting our world on fire... What they care about is money... Not even enough to become grotesquely rich ...They seek power, buy it, co-opt it, leverage it and always thirst for more of it."

Just a thought here since Lutnick is back in the news after scuttling the US Canada trade talks, always refer to him as: Epstein lunch pal Lutnick.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

For those of you already missing Stephen Colbert, he's resurfaced on community public access in Monroe, Michigan, and no, I am not joking: youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4

Public Notice: If you smeared shit on the walls of the Capital Building on January 6 or tried to hang Mike Pence you may be entitled to compensation…

Will this be another pandemic? Very unlikely. Are we once again being gaslighted by public health - absolutely.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027. And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should. #climatecrisis #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/two-yea...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9
