Rapid warming and more sunshine reaching the surface lead to more evaporation, drier soils, more extreme rainfall, more flooding, crop failures, increasing food prices and more trouble in general.

"Air pollution masked about 1.5Β°C of warming over the Northern Hemisphere, where about 90% of humanity lives and grows food."

We in modern society are like mountain-sick climbers on Everest, too addled by hypoxemia to realize that our ascent spells our Doom.

β€œBritain is still in this never-never-land, it-won’t-happen-to-us nonsense...We can’t live in the fantasy that supermarkets will always be there. They can be taken out, and they are being.”

Oh look, Australian tropical rainforest trees have become the first in the world to switch from being a carbon sink to an emissions source due to increasingly extreme temperatures and drier conditions.

A gentle reminder: The world as you know it is dying, and the world as you would like it to be is but a dead on arrival stillborn dream.

"We are reaching the point that anyone eyeballing graphs can see acceleration of global warming.

No more statistics and natural variability corrections needed."

The ESA lists species only after collapse, props them up on life support, and ignores millions moreβ€”from nematodes to lichensβ€”that vanish unseen. Preventing paperwork extinction isn’t saving life; it’s performative foot-dragging under political whimsy.

This creed hasn’t changed: man above beasts, profit above life. We still trade extinction for β€œgrowth,” still justify destruction as destiny. This isn’t fringeβ€”it’s mainstream, rooted in 10,000 years of monotheistic dominion.

Plug-in hybrids pollute almost as much as petrol cars, report finds Analysis of 800,000 European cars found real-world pollution from plug-in hybrids nearly five times greater than lab tests

As expected
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) pump out 5 times more planet-heating pollution than official figures show.
Data shows PHEVs emit just 19% less CO2 than petrol and diesel cars
Under laboratory tests, they were assumed to be 75% less polluting

Scientists Warn About the β€˜Greenlandification’ of Antarctica - Inside Climate News Global warming is awakening sleeping giants of ice at the South Pole as glaciers start to flow faster and surface melting increases.

Your 'moment of doom' for Oct. 16, 2025 ~ breaking the ice.

β€œBasically, the ice shelves are there and then, boom, boom, boom, a series of melt streams and melt ponds. And then the whole thing collapsed, smattered into smithereens.”

Israel destroys ceasefire in hours Today, Israel slaughtered Palestinians and resumed siege. Not a "ceasefire"

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

America's largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to grant federal contractors blanket immunity from human trafficking laws.

What stage of capitalism is this?
