Biden & Democrats are auctioning off 80 million more acres for further oil and gas exploitation
Sign the petition today and tell President Biden to cancel Oil Lease Sale 257, which currently offers more than 80 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico to Big Oil. That’s more area than the Trump Administration initially proposed.”

Nancy Pelosi = Destroyer of Worlds = lies when she breathes:
America can NOT claim progress on the collapse of the Climate’s ability to support life while shoveling money in the direction of the American Military (whose greenhouse gas emissions are larger than 140 countries).

“This is from the Summary for Policymakers in the 2019 IPCC 1.5C Document. Now, remember when you see these...most accounts say that we are *currently* at 1.23C above pre-industrial levels. Some people may, for different reasons, believe it's more than that. Where you stand on that issue, see where you think we are currently in with each section. As you see, at 1.23C we are in the yellow to orange range for most of the stuff. Also look at the "Warm-Water Coral" part thats all the way in the Purple. That, my friends, is inevitable biosphere collapse.
So, just fyi.

“HUMAN EXTINCTION BY 2022?
The October 2021 temperature anomaly shows that the Arctic is heating up enormously, with anomalies up to 9.1°C (first image).
The second image shows anomalies from 1900-1920. Globally, the temperature over the past century, i.e. from 1920 to 2020, has risen by 1.3°C. When adjusting data to reflect a pre-industrial base, ocean air (2m) temperatures and higher polar anomalies, temperatures may have crossed 2°C long ago.
The third image shows two trends, based on NASA 1880-October 2021 data, adjusted to reflect a pre-industrial base, ocean air (2m) temperatures and higher polar anomalies. The linear trend (green) misses the point that the temperature rise is accelerating. The polynomial trend (black) shows the potential for 3°C to be crossed by 2026.
Acceleration of the temperature rise may speed up further soon, for reasons including aerosols, sunspots and El Niño, further decline of Arctic snow and ice, seafloor methane and more.
The fourth image shows three trends, i.e. the same black polynomial and green linear trends, based on NASA 1880-October 2021 data, and a blue polynomial trend based on 2015-October 2021 data. Data are again adjusted to reflect a pre-industrial base, ocean air (2m) temperatures and higher polar anomalies.
The blue polynomial trend better reflects short-term climate forcing such as from aerosols, sunspots and an upcoming El Niño. The blue trend also shows the potential for 3°C to be crossed by the end of 2022.
Given that humans may go extinct with a 3°C rise, and a 5°C rise will likely end most life on Earth, the COP26 summit in Glasgow could have acted more decidedly.

“The road to zero emissions is strewn with "alternative facts" - by Andrew Glikson
Once again, the hopes of billions have been raised, only to be dashed, this time by the cruel joke of COP26, the reality being that “By 2030, governments are planning to extract 110% more fossil fuels than their Paris Agreement pledge to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels would permit”.
Given that future emissions and temperatures may exceed what current policies would lead to, growth in the use of fossil fuels combined with the lack of effective methods of reducing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can only have catastrophic consequences.
This means that unless civilization moves to a war-like footing, such as in pre-world war II, in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions from all sectors and to sequester greenhouse gas levels, large parts of the Earth may become uninhabitable.

DemGOPs and their Judiciary are an abomination:
“This is THE problem. We are controlled by the most greedy, manipulative, self-serving people on the Planet.
So many have misidentified who is victimizing them. The things they see as the issues are merely mirages. They are completely unaware they are being manipulated by the moneyed interests of Big Business. Big Pharma, Energy, Defense, Industrial, Financiers, Developers, Agriculture and their campaign donations, Political Action Committees, Lobbyists and Government Bureaucrats, and Future Lobbyists.
Indeed this story outlines the in and out of our Revolving Door system of Government:
"About half of retiring senators and a third of retiring House members register as lobbyists. That's up from less than 5 percent in the 1970s."
