A graphic with an icon of the sun, a wiggly line denoting natural cycles, and a volcano, with a title reading "WHY is climate changing?" created by me. Not fancy, as my graphic design skills lean to function over art!
Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.
Could these be the real culprits?
The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.

The question is no longer if EVs are going to dominate the future. That’s fairly obvious. The question is now if the US is going to have any role in that market. Right now, it’s not looking promising. heatmap.news/electric-veh...

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.
History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere
The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.
The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring
The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame
FDR once bragged to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that the richest people in the nation hated him and “I welcome their hatred.”
Just weeks later, he was re-elected with 61% of the vote in a 523-8 blowout in the Electoral College.
Voters *like* politicians who make the right enemies.
The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.
The Arizona school voucher scheme has blown a massive hole in the state budget. In 2025, vouchers for private schools will be responsible for a $1.4 billion state budget deficit and for a funding loss of 300K per school in the state.
Vouchers are a scam.

Trump officials are considering not renewing leases for two NOAA centers — one for weather and climate prediction in Maryland and a radar operations center in Oklahoma — according to two people familiar with the plans.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S.
We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off.
Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.
(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
18f.org
If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

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.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates.
So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.
Democrats should be in rural and red areas right now. Talk to the folks and tell them who is hurting them. Right now.
We are missing a massive opportunity…trust me on this. Get out here.
