Douche bags polluting space:
“A SpaceX rocket that launched almost seven years ago is on a collision course with the Moon, experts have warned.
The Falcon 9 booster, which launched in February 2015 as part of an interplanetary mission, has been following a chaotic orbit since running out of fuel following its mission.
The four tonne rocket is expected to hit the Moon at a velocity of 2.58km/s at some point in the coming weeks.
The space junk is being tracked by Bill Gray, the creator of the Guide software used to monitor near-Earth objects, asteroids, minor planets and comets.
The astronomer put out a call for other observers to help gather data and calculate when the rocket might crash into the Moon, concluding that there will be a “certain impact” on 4 March, 2022.”

Dana Woods \Climate Change Survival:
The methane (150 to 200 times more potent than CO2 for the first 5 years) which has recently been and now is much moreso , pouring out of the Arctic ocean (at 2300 some parts per billion) is NOT from fracking and it's limitless for all practical purposes. A tiny fraction will put life on Earth over the top if it hasn't already . This began to look like this about 2 weeks after a large earthquake in the Laptev Sea. (melting ice causes more seismic activity) The shallow WATER on the Coast is rapidly warming, below that is "permafrost" which emits Methane as it melts , and below that is a zone of Methane hydrates (methane in chrystalized form which has/HAD? been keeping the ENORMOUIS AMOUNT of Methane in the sediment under it, contained)
Please stop fooling yourselves and letting climate media personalities (eg lying Micheal Mann) tell you that emissions reductions, or planting trees or even the most efficient carbon capture can save life on Earth from near term extinction. Cloud Brightening in the Arctic must be implemented ASAP (it just involves spraying sea water into clouds to fall back onto ice and can be stopped on a dime if necessary for some reason. It could keep the Arctic from going ice free which which be the end of life on Earth soon after .
Meanwhile. you/we should demand that generous money be allotted IMMEDIATELY to study other , more controversial solar radiation management , as asked for the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine in March . This is way more than likely the last year we have to study these technologies before we will need to decide between them and complete extinction . If there are dangers involved it's all the more reason to study them more NOW , rather then deploying them without further research and/or having China deploy them unilaterally (China is studying them as I type) which cause more severe weather in other areas of the globe.
They must be deployed uniformly across the globe to not cause water shortages in the Southern hemisphere, at least , and more severe storms in the North. The peer reviewed study I posted yesterday shows that if deployed evenly across the globe, there would be a global cooling effect without additional severe weather anywhere. Calcium carbonate can and should be used and would not harm the ozone layer, but there are other questions and further research (currently overseen by NOAA) is needed THIS YEAR !!”

Charles Koch needs to be arrested immediately along with those politicians who refuse to do it:
“How The Koch Network Hijacked The War On COVID”
Overview:
Find interview with the authors in Archives at:
The U.S. pandemic response with Nina Burleigh, Alex Kotch, and Walker Bragman
“A Public Affair, Jan 28, 2022 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM, Talk, With Esty Dinur”
Notes:
Trump let 1) Evangelicals hijack America’s initial response to COVID and they completely ignored the pandemic and used it to act against abortion and gay rights, as well as 2) Koch who wanted to show the world that private for profit enterprise could serve as government (eg. Jared’s “Operation Airbridge”) simply for ideological and profit motive.
Biden’s failing the Pandemic spectacularly. Biden is influence the message from Science and the CDC (lying). He is also failing by allowing republicans to groom voters with science fiction for their own political benefit.
In March 2020 koch networks started to promulgate anti-lockdown propaganda. In April 2020 they started funding anti-lockdown protests in several states. It was disinformation and rallies for business profits. Example Uline packing. Libertarian think tanks kept the messaging up while refrigerated trucks filled up with dead body’s in large American cities. ALEC, headquartered in Wisconsin (Robin Vos), put out press releases against lockdowns. Then they funded Academic Institutions that they had financial influence over. DeVos and Mercer were involved. “Astro turf” roadmap. Convention of States Actions was involved (primary function to rewrite the US Constitution). Vos family financed for example “Michigan Freedom Fund”. Michigan’s alt-right Hillsdale College was instrumental.
Let the virus rip came out of Koch’s “American Institute for Economic Research”. Provided academic cover for pro business agenda. “Great Barrington Declaration” authored in part by Scott Atlas would go on to kill 10’s of thousands of Americans. “Hoover Institution” was involved.
Mercatus Center, at George Mason University, giving out grants for those who would bolster argument for everything remaining open, especially, keeping schools open. Their Emily Oster is a killer of children that Democrats and Republicans will NOT hold responsible for her actions.
Civil suits should be filed against the Koch Network, but sadly, Charles Koch owns the US Supreme Court. So, I guess they can kill us and the environment as much as they want.
America continues to experience 3,000 deaths per day. The Koch Network must NOT be allowed to rewrite the U.S. Constitution. They will invariably kill more of us with a rewrite that includes what they call “A Balanced Budget Amendment”.

Consider the possibility that the Orwellian dystopia you fear is already here and has been in place for many years, you just haven't noticed because you're still allowed to watch Netflix or buy a gun or say whatever you want to say within a small impotent online echo chamber.
Consider the possibility that the powerful are already getting everything they want from you, right now, exactly as things are, and that any suspicious action you see them taking isn't them constructing a cage for you but them tightening the bolts on a cage that was quietly built around you some time ago.
Consider the possibility that while they've been training you to watch out for communism and microchips and overt totalitarianism, they've been covertly transforming us all into mindless gears in a machine constructed to serve their interests which challenges them in no way, shape or form.
Consider the possibility that tyrants have evolved an understanding that you can exert a lot more control over a population with mass-scale psychological manipulation than you can with overt force, and that they have been developing the science of that mass-scale psychological manipulation for over a century.”
