11/2022 Drought?!: Big Oil produces 3.8 billion barrels of wastewater/year in the arid Permian Basin

Updated: Jan 17

The US Supreme Court is an enemy to a just and fair America:

“The most terrifying case of all is about to be heard by the US supreme court”

“If the court upholds the rogue ‘Independent State Legislature’ theory, it would put the US squarely on the path to authoritarianism”

“Yearning to fly

We all know the benefits of travel — but a substantial increase in flying seems unsustainable at a time when aviation’s share of emissions is set to rise and most of the world has pledged to keep global warming at 1.5 C.”

Greed not consumers with a too much cash is driving inflation:

“Top Fed Official Says Corporate Price Hikes Are Fueling Inflation

While Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard gave a nod to what one observer called "the elephant in the room," her core message—that monetary tightening is needed to tackle inflation—drew progressive pushback.”

SCOTUS ruling upholding “Independent State Legislature” is the final blow to voting & any semblance of a Democratic USA. Mainstream media’s silence together with inaction to cure our failed judiciary suggests Democrats are fully on board.

Then you will truly know pollution and mass extinction.

Mass Tree plantings are merely sapling mass graves:

“The poor design and oversight of so many tree-planting efforts undermine the genuine good that can come of such projects, Rachel Nuwer writes.”

“Is Tree Planting A Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card On Climate?

Genuine good can and sometimes does come from tree-planting projects but too many are poorly designed and maintained.”

Reader comment: “It would be more effective to finally convince people to get rid of their lawns, and have them all plant shrubs and trees. And teach them how to take care of them, just planting trees in an open field and not maintaining them is a pointless waste of time.”

“Too many people spend their lives being dutiful descendants instead of good ancestors.

The responsibility of each generation is not to please their predecessors. It’s to improve things for their offspring.

It’s more important to make your children proud than your parents proud.”
