It is wrong to say that America hasn’t prepared for the death of our global biosphere because I’m sure they have it’s just that their plans don’t include me, you, your children, or 99% of the people everywhere. -
“We just observed the 5th warmest March on record globally according to Copernicus EU
It wasn't warm for everyone. Extremely cold conditions were recorded in Southeast Europe and North Africa.
Arctic, Asia, and eastern Antarctic really stand out as the hot spots.”

“Just pay attention to the rate of increase and it seems it is getting ready to shoot straight up. I have seen curves like this and the end result of such curves are the shooting star. The abrupt change.
For the second year in a row, NOAA scientists observed a record annual increase in atmospheric methane, a powerful, heat-trapping greenhouse gas that’s the second biggest contributor to human-caused global warming after carbon dioxide.”
“Methane is Gas

“El-Ninó, gone.
La-Niná building up to permanently replace it.
These are conditions never experienced or witnessed in our species history.
Nothing says that anything has to be the way it's always been.
History has no precedent for the current global climatic conditions.
'Everyday unprecedented' is the normal and we'd be foolish not to expect the unpredictable.”
“NOAA Climate.Gov
According to the latest ENSO outlook from NOAA NWS Climate Prediction Center, La Niña continues. The current forecast favors the continuation of La Niña through the summer (59% chance), and into the fall (50-55% chance). A third-year La Niña would be pretty unusual, with only two others since 1950.”

“Anyone seen it? Anti-War activists are stalked in the scorching California desert in a terrifying twist on capture the flag. Anyone seen this?
PS. I love this movie poster.
"British filmmaker / anti-war provocateur Peter Watkin’s Punishment Park is a vitriolic rebuke of America’s policies of global aggression and war-making of the 60s and 70s. Part dystopian nightmare, part pseudo-documentary, Punishment Park is a political tale of the macabre set in an arena of a scorching California desert where cops hunt convicted protesters down like dogs.
Shot cinema vérité style as a docudrama, Watkins went even further to strike an authentic tone by casting actual anti-war activists for the hunted hippies, and real-life conservatives to play the police force and litigating body. The result was an incredibly tense film set that rendered an incredibly moving and realistic portrayal of state-mandated violence and all of its players.
Watkins began his career at the BBC in the early 60’s, moving up the ranks before helming his own features. His second film, The War Game, a docudrama depicting nuclear war, was produced by the BBC but immediately banned when they saw the horrific final cut.
It’s no wonder Watkin’s style was deemed too dangerous by the Establishment – his films are unfathomably gritty, but yet intellectual and didactic enough to appeal to audiences who sensed something was rotten in their governments."”
