Home Means Nevada, at least for now. I am known as a wanderer, but I somehow always end back here in Las Vegas. I heard someone described as a "pragmatic leftist" and I think that's me in a nutshell. I am in the fight for the planet and my grandkids....
Saying a single year exceeding 1.5Β°C warming doesn't mean the Paris Agreement has failed provides as much reassurance as the captain of the Titanic telling passengers that there is an important difference between 'sinking' and 'sunk'.

I haven't seen much about it on the national news, but much of the state government in Nevada has been shut down all week due to an apparent cyber attack. I have been trying to come up with a good conspiracy theory that links that to Trump's apparent disappearance. I am sure someone here can help;-)

A line graph of world newspaper coverage of climate change or global warming from 2004 to 2025 in continents around the world.
Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events.

this is literally a plan to do this, published in plain writing by the party that currently controls the government. if you want resistance to alarmism treated as an intellectual stance rather than an affective posture you'll need something in the vicinity of a reason

The GOP Budget includes a massive land grab in NV to pay for tax breaks for the rich. I just filed an amendment to strip this provision because we need to work together on a plan for responsible growth and keep $ from land sales in our state toΒ support education and conservation.
