Decarbonization has always been inevitable.

Almost the entire climate fight has been about how quickly we can accelerate progress, and how long fossil fuel industries and their allies can delay progress.

And winning too slowly is the same thing as losing.

Reminder that if you see something horrific, there is good evidence that playing Tetris as soon as possible helps.

Giving yourself PTSD from seeing photos or film clips doesn’t help anyone.

Look, (a) of all please be ready for some gnarly roof-caving-in conditions tomorrow night but also (b) of all please support your local artist seriously buy a sticker or something and (c) of all commit to the bit - you gotta stick with it to make it stick.

These videos are glorious madness.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Talking About Energy Dominance? Solar Would Like to Have a Word. - Inside Climate News We are in the solar-powered century, although some are taking their time to figure this out.

“In one hour, the Earth receives enough light from the sun to power the world for the whole year," said Sarah Kurtz, a researcher who has been working on solar power since the mid-1980s.

Absolutely insane what s going on in USA:
Monthly records pulverized by hundreds in over a dozen States with unbelievable margins:
For example Salt Lake City UT Minimum of 59F is SEVEN degrees F higher than the previous monthly record.

Thousands of records coming next days...

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

Mike Johnson shut down the House for six weeks to assist Trump’s Epstein cover-up.

But this afternoon, our representatives will finally vote to obtain the full Epstein files. We need as many Republicans as possible to secure a veto-proof majority.

According to a Cornish friend, that bit is called the "knocker bite" because you toss it down the mine to appease the Tommyknockers
