The effects of AMOC strength fluctuations and aerosols / sulphur emissions are also covered.

Models of everyday life were deposited in #Egyptian tombs. They were supposed to support the deceased in the afterlife. One of the most charming examples is the model of a #cow giving birth.

Here's why I so like the word "banalization": because I believe it perfectly captures what the #BrokenTimes and American journalism are doing to Trumpist fascism. Their evil isn't banal (apologies to Arendt) but is being presented as such in our press.

Publicly managed insurance programs, aka FAIR Plans, provide coverage where pricate companies won't. But in at least 86% of states, industry runs them.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Federal agents shoot woman they say 'boxed in' authorities in Brighton Park Authorities were on patrol when they were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the drivers "was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," prompting officers to open fire, DHS said.

A woman was shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday on Chicago’s South Side, marking the second shooting since President Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month.

In Karnataka’s Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot, a river diversion project is bringing long-term changes to local villages — and the environment.
