I just feel like if my career was chasing down screaming children in the snow with the goal of throwing them in the back of my vehicle and taking them to a facility where they might die... I'd quit

Som airlines are letting you buy like carbon offsets or something to fill in the loyalty gaps rather than mileage runs. Does AA offer that?

(I’m a northwest girly so I fly the other American airline in the oneWorld alliance😜)

Carbon offsets give big polluters a get-out-of-jail-free card on climate change. And although there are *some* high-quality offsets out there, there's a helluva lotta junk.

I made a deep-dive video on the wild west of offsetting. Took me bloody ages so check it out pls 😅

They also fix nitrogen, and should help reduce that input vs wheat/corn

New Scientist: Carbon offsets are one of the five worst ideas of the 21st century Along with Bitcoin, Social media, Alternative fuels, and Effective altruism.

"Those who serve the public, they should be fearful of the public. They should be fearful that the public is going to be dissatisfied with the job they're doing. Not feeling like they're tyrants, not feeling like they're bullies and because they got guns ... that makes them immune..." #3E

It makes sense bc he would neither look nor learn how to look before making such a declaration

We'll see, but I don't think the apparent TACO on Greenland will last long. It's just another case of "last person he talked to," and that won't be the Europeans once he's back at the West Wing / Mar-a-Lago. For their own anti-NATO reasons, too many in the inner circle are determined to push this.

I mean, @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has been shouting about this & publishing whole books about the Trump mafia regime for like over a decade. Ditto @naomiaklein.bsky.social , who warned of this path back in shock & awe days

"The lies this administration is telling about Ms. Good aren’t those you deploy as part of a cover-up. They’re those you use when you want to show you can get away with anything."

This is why the ICE operation in Minnesota has felt to me like crossing a new Rubicon, maybe the most horrifying yet.

People under federal criminal investigation for the murder of Renee Good by Trump's DOJ:

-Her wife who had to watch
-The Mayor of Minneapolis
-The Governor of Minnesota

People not under federal investigation:

-The motherfucker who actually shot and killed her

And in this moment, this beautiful child would be falling into his mother for comfort but she has been taken.

We are raising a generation of children who are being traumatized by the state, and some of them will grow up angry because their parents were ripped away by force.

How the common daisy became a ‘visible signal’ of climate change Experts warn that the slightest increase in temperatures can trigger early blooming in hundreds of wildflower species.

Hundreds of wildflowers have bloomed this winter, as climate extremes trigger a drastic “shift” to their natural cycle.
I know deniers are now telling people its normal for flowers to bloom in the heart of Winter

Senator Susan Collins killed the amendment to protect the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) -- perhaps the world's premier research center for work on #weather, #climate, models, and remote sensing. Remember that.

She may have just saved us all. Don't be judgy.

What does Secretary Rollins think American families should eat for dinner?

My family ate like this in Soviet Ukraine. This isn't the American way.

New Economic Blueprint for Resolving the Climate Crisis Announcing the Carbon Reward Policy Paper

If we can backstop banks to prevent collapse,
why can’t we backstop climate mitigation to prevent irreversible risk?

Link to full paper in the blog post below. Please share widely, we are a small 'think tank' and need partners and funding to make this real

The carbon reward is best understood as
mitigate-and-trade, not cap-and-trade.
The traded asset represents verified climate service, not permission to pollute

GCR reframes climate action from sacrifice to risk management—similar to how we fund disaster insurance or emergency financial backstops.

In fact, XCR should make an excellent climate hedge for institutional investors. When we're falling behind, the price will rise - predictably
