Earth is likely to cross a key climate threshold in two years A new World Meteorological Organization report spells the end of the world’s most famous climate goal.

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

"Sanctuary of Stone and Sea" - An image from the edge of the continent—Cape Flattery, where wind-swept pines and ancient sea stacks shape a landscape both with ruggedness and raw elegance.
No doubt this is one of those quintessential Pacific Northwest scenes that evoke a real sense of serenity.

White House says food, toxins among reasons for poor U.S. health Parts of the “MAHA report” contradict scientific consensus.

Exclusive: US aid cuts leave food for millions mouldering in storage The food stocks have been stuck inside four U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programs.

Waste, fraud and abuse.

"Food rations that could supply 3.5 million people for a month are mouldering in warehouses around the world because of U.S. aid cuts and risk becoming unusable, according to five people familiar with the situation."

Last month, I got to experience Northern California's super bloom at North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve. While seeing two beautiful waterfalls amongst the basalt hills. 🌿🌼🪻

They most likely will be tortured and killed once returned. 😞

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit.

The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

Home - NOAA Ocean Acidification Program NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program prepares us for the impacts of ocean acidification through research and interdisciplinary partnerships.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained access to the computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), claiming to use that access to search for programs and staff linked to diversity policies.

Simultaneously, sections of NOAA’s website displaying climate data have become unavailable. They are systematically going through the system, removing content at their discretion. More details to follow.

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

“What started as a purge of the security services accelerated Friday into a full-blown coup, as technical units aligned w/ oligarch Elon Musk moved to seize key systems at Treasury, block outside access to personnel records, & take offline comms networks.”

Because we are afraid that Trump will declare martial law, which is what he wants. Also, with his hateful, divisive propaganda against Democrats and Liberals, they have dehumanized us. They think we are the enemies within and subhuman, and maga/trumpers could shoot us and feel justified in doing so.

The Demonization of DEI What they're really attacking is EMPATHY

Hate has no place here. Trump is attacking empathy. Let’s not let him and let us reward Pro DEI Companies 👇🏼

Anyone who says this was NOT a Nazi salute can — with all due respect — fuck off.

Donald Trump’s fundamental advantage is that almost no one remembers anything.

Remember this day.

The last full day with a Democratic President.

We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

Flashback to 2020:

CA official: "If we ignore the science and put our head in the sand... we're not going to succeed together protecting Californians."

Trump: "It'll start getting cooler. You just watch."

"I wish science agreed with you."

Trump: "I don’t think science knows, actually."

Brussels orders X to hand over documents on algorithm Request follows complaints from politicians about Elon Musk’s platform boosting far-right AfD party

Musk will fight handing this over tooth and nail—because if he actually hands over the algorithm it will reveal how much he has tampered with it to artificially dampen the reach of progressive accounts, proving he is 100 times worse than those he replaced.

Women-centered Celtic society unearthed in 2,000-year-old cemetery DNA analysis indicates that a Celtic tribe in Iron Age Britain was matrilocal, meaning men relocated to live with women’s families.

DNA recovered from an Iron Age burial ground in southern England reveals a Celtic community where husbands moved to join their wives’ families — a rare sign of female influence and empowerment in the ancient world.

I'll be wearing all black that day, in mourning of our democracy. I'm going to stay off socials, internet, no tv, and I'll be heading out to do some bird watching with my daughter.

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.
