“They've gouged us with their greed flation. Our career politicians were key to killing Earth. They did relatively little to save over a million of us from death during COVID. They've allied with Nazi thieves in brazen violent scams to enrich themselves. And now the United States is reviled the world over excepting for a small number fascists regimes. A reckoning is due.”

Temperature rise due to El Niño and further variables
“TEMPERATURE RISE DUE TO EL NINO
Moving from the bottom of a La Niña to the peak of a strong El Niño could make a difference of more than half a degree Celsius.
The difference in temperature between November 2022 and March 2023 already is about half a degree Celsius and we are not even in an El Niño yet.
El Niño is expected to reach its full strength over the next few years, with a maximum possibly in 2026.
Furthermore, sunspots look set to reach a high maximum within years, and the 2022 Tonga submarine volcano eruption did add a huge amount of water vapor to the atmosphere.

Wisconsin has joined the list of states on fire:
“3,000-acre fire in Arcadia was one of many wildfires in Wisconsin Wednesday; another Red Flag Warning issued”

And George Santos is still in Washington while Gorsuch and Thomas remain on the US Supreme Court. Don’t expect the corrupt to adequately police the corrupt.

“13 years ago this week Julian Assange published the Collateral Murder video showing the killing over a dozen people in Iraq, including 2 Reuters journalists, seriously wounding 2 children
He faces a 175 year sentence if extradited for truthful publishing
“Collateral Murder Video: Killers amused and enthused about request to engage and running over bodies. Remote dissociation to killings. Casual concern to the 2 children. Cold, cold US killings.”

America ‘s true role in climate collapse is much greater than just emissions and consumption.
In America’s world, economic might it political might and when you’re an imperialist a big component of political might is military might. So, in the world dominated by American presence if you’re not at the table you’re effectively on the menu.
If you are a country that is not America, what do you do to maintain your sovereignty and independence? Generally, you either sell out, you’d better be ready to compete or at least try.
Many countries prefer (or past tense) to be off America’s menu. They are going to try to stand on their own 2 feet. Well, looking back at the hard truth of international politics (especially in the presence of a dominate predator imperialist like America) and that is sovereignty is political might that is a function of your economic might that, if you choose, is further a function of your country’s military might. And that is a logic string that requires ENERGY. Follow the American example if you don’t want to be an American vassal. What is that example, exploit the cheapest energy of the day. One that is necessarily easy to adopt and\or dovetails with the rest of the world - Stop!
Just like in the reintroduction of the Wolf in Yellowstone National Park the presence of a large predator changes behavior of everything around it. In fact, look at an example of what our own Politicians say when we struggle against gun violence – get your own gun.
America set a competitive norm for international relations – fossil fuel. You can even curry favor with a predator America if you buy their fossil fuel.
The reality is AMERICA – its 2 parties and 3 branches - 120% responsible for the climate lead death of our biosphere’s ability to support life. America IS climate change, global warming and now “Death Project.”
