OK people, here’s the deal. Since the A$$hole-in-chuts and his GOP sycophantic enablers have defunded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, we now have an opportunity to make PBS truly a PUBLIC enterprise! Make generous donations to your stations and watch frequently. Thank you!

This applies just as well to media coverage of the Liberals' stupid "net zero debate"

SA’s algal bloom ‘one of the worst marine disasters in living memory’, and driving force could rival black summer, experts say As Senate establishes inquiry into the ‘human-mediated disaster’, a report is calling for more long-term action

Scientists are warning the wildlife impacts of a marine heatwave that has driven a catastrophic algal bloom off South Australia are likely to be equivalent to those from the black summer bushfires, and demand a similar response from governments.”

AI Predicts An East Coast Hurricane Soon - 3 Reasons For Caution An AI-based weather model predicts a hurricane along the U.S. East Coast in less than 2 weeks. Here are 3 reasons to be cautious with this forecast right now.

A European AI modeling system is being particularly aggressive with a forecast for a US East Coast hurricane. You may have seen it in social media-rology posts. However, here are 3 cautions that I offer. Hope you read this from several perspectives.

AI doesn't automatically exempt the originators from skewing root metrics. So some results may lend themselves toward more 'disruptive' measures, in line with current geopolitical values, therefore adding more return for the originators.

Last month's total #Arctic sea ice volume averaged the 5th lowest on record for the month of July. This was about 60% below 1979 levels and 41% below the 1979-2024 July average.

Prepare for these responses....... Land is sinking, politically-biased instrumentation, it was higher XXX years ago and varies naturally, Covid vaccines did it....Sigh

I agree with Dr James Hansen, who factors in natural causes like Milankovitch Cycles. But aerosol and direct CO2, methane, etc., are human caused - and a CRITICAL tipping point.

Companies like Progressive are already refusing to refund policies cancelled, when a customer transfers to another insurer. They're front loading to cover for inevitable losses in each market, that's more and more exposed to these effects caused by burning fossil fuels.

Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, says the climate crisis could make adaptation economically unviable.

Wind cuts coal and gas burning, so petrostate politicos get very weird and wrong about it.

It is often the lowest cost of new generation & high wind power states often have electricity rates at or below the national average.

Wind makes oil & gas scream because it hurts them. #energysky

Wright is an OKLO principal. They support HALEU fuel, a hard Thorium fuel which is easier to convert to weapons grade plutonium, offering more of a market than liquid Thorium reactor tech. Dow Chemicals, one of the largest petrochemical companies in the world, invests in TRISO HALEU. Do the math.

The Climate 8-ball says: f&%kery ahead!

* This is why solar, wind, hydro, etc.; aren't #BaseloadPower, and fossil fuels has been, but SHOULD have been graduated to Liquid Thorium Molten Salt Reactors, decades ago. The increasing polarities of overlapping effects, limit #renewables more and more.

#MilankobvitchCycles on full tilt, create more of a middle vacuum, attracting scaled power to fill the void. Example: the back to back hurricanes in 2024, with Helene and Milton. This scales to other bipolar events, like drought/flood, heat/cold, sun/clouds*, etc., increasing toward Singularities.

Like heat and wildfire smoke keeping us from safely enjoying what should great summer days, not being able to insure a home is a visceral climate impact. When private insurers close up shop, who's left to shoulder financial risk? You and me, directly or indirectly (via taxes and the government).
