2018 “Hothouse Earth: here’s what the science actually does – and doesn’t – say”
*
“Having a job is weird because we’re in the middle of a major extinction event.”
*
“Personal and national success are two odd goals for members of a species on the precipice of extinction.”
*
“Thanksgiving was born of war: first, colonial conquest masquerading as concord, then a means to bind the nation in the midst of the Civil War.”
“Thanksgiving Serenade”
*
“If Satan punishes the evil, why does that make him the bad guy?
If God forgives killers and child molesters, why does that make him the good guy?”
*
“The Dead Sea which straddles the board between Israel and Jordan has changed shape over the years. Its surface area has dropped from 410 square miles in 1930 to 234 square miles today (1,050-605 square km) causing it to split into two basis in 1979. Since then its southern basis has been partitioned into a series of saltwater evaporation pans.”

It is likely that asteroids seeded life on earth.

“The American outbreak of avian influenza is officially the worst on record with 50.54 million dead birds, according to the US Department of Agriculture. The highly pathogenic virus was found at a commercial turkey farm in South Dakota this week, resulting in tens of thousands of birds being killed to avoid further spread.”
“US Avian Flu Outbreak Worst on Record With 50 Million Dead Birds”

“With the Arctic warming four times faster than the rest of the world, more moisture is being held in the atmosphere and falling as snow in northern Europe.”
“Rapidly warming Arctic causing greater snowfall further south”
*
“Global Climate Change is Only the Tip of the (melting) Iceberg
If we can solve climate change, we’ve barely just begun…”
“It is Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus’ prediction coming true with a vengeance. (Briefly, in 1798 Malthus pointed out that, since food production grows linearly and population grows exponentially, eventually there won’t be enough food to feed everybody.)”
*
“The costs and consequences of Europe’s energy crisis are growing”
*
160F - 190F is just around the corner and they let it happen knowing what was coming and knowing we would die because they wanted things like lulamon bags and expensive ice cream bars and because they thought they were genetically superior. Something to think about as you watch your loved ones die:
“Climate change is increasing the frequency and temperature of extreme heat waves”
*
Of course America did. Seriously?! It took you this long to find out?! Good lord where the hell ya been?! Iraq, Afghanistan, etc ring a bell ?! Better question might be why you bringing it up now?:
“Europe accuses US of profiting from war”
*
“Meet Our Civilization’s Newest Pathology, the Celebrity Right Wing Billionaire
Why Inequality Is Our Fifth Civilizational Risk”
*
“There aren’t enough trees in the world to offset society’s carbon emissions – and there never will be”
*
“At the End of the COP27, a Truth Appears in Broad Daylight: The Climate Is the Poor Relation of Geopolitics.
Until the war in Ukraine is over and America and China find a modus vivendi, the climate will not return to the forefront of geopolitical concerns.”
*
Don’t hold your breadth. America will withhold its assistance until climate chaos removes or diminishes the need for it. For example, why give aid to an island that is underwater?!:
“Caribbean countries weather climate extremes and hope richer states deliver on promised funding”
*
“‘I’m too tired’ – Climate Weekly”
“if you drag proceedings out long enough the exhausted participants will grudgingly accept whatever is on the table.”
*
“Vehicle pollution zone to cover all of London”
*
The so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” was just more wealth concentrating bullshit:
“Macron to raise US subsidies in talks with Biden next week”
*
There is no “our” it is more accurate to say “their” because most American’s only realize worsening wealth:
“Our obsession with economic growth is deadly”
*
“This is Climate Change”
