🤯 icymi: rapid 21st century mass extinction
ALT Climate models projecting higher warming for a given level of carbon dioxide have been discounted as unrealistic, but a new way of assessing models suggests they are accurate For a given emission trajectory, we expect warming to be 25 per cent higher,” says Gergana Gyuleva at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. The conclusion has enormous implications. For instance, a project called the Carbon Action Tracker currently projects that average global surface temperatures will rise by 2.6°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100 if countries implement existing policies. Gyuleva's teams's results suggest we are instead heading for 3.25°C.

Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 campaign for president, was interviewed on MSNOW. In response to a very general question regarding the Trump presidency, Mr. Schmidt spoke for two minutes and gave the most insightful and brutally honest response of what the Trump presidency has done to our great country: "Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is.
But he is a consequential president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And, there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.” "When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile.
An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.” "It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City.
Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And, let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter.
We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk." @SteveSchmidtSES r/t Ron Tipton
WTAF?
Honeybees pollinate roughly $150 billion worth of crops annually. About 1.6 million colonies died across the U.S. between June 2024 and March 2025. The administration's response? Close the lab that diagnosed the cause. This is not efficiency. It is willful abdication of the government's stewardship obligation to American agriculture.

Parts of Spain/Portugal will approach 40°C next week, and we are still only in MAY. This is not “just summer arriving early”. Europe is heating faster than almost any continent on Earth. European agriculture, ecosystems & infrastructure were not built for these extended extremes.

The Med is experiencing a 1-in-216-billion-year sea temperature anomaly.
To grasp how rare that is:
▸ Earth is only 4.5 billion years old. For this event to occur naturally, earth would need to exist for 48x longer
▸ This is 15x rarer than the age of the universe
▸ Equally likely to win the lottery 1,500 times, in a row
This isn’t “unusual.”
It’s statistically impossible that this would occur without anthropogenic climate change.

If Trump abandons our Ukrainian allies and instead takes the side of a monster charged with crimes against humanity he risks being charged. His break with our allies means he can't rely on Rome Statute signatories violating their obligation to honor an ICC warrant if he travels.

'Total Garbage' by @edwardhumes is a book about our disposable economy, how we got here, and stories about how normal everyday people are taking action to change our world of waste.
This is a book everyone can benefit from reading🌎

This will change our planet forever.
On this Earth Day, look at how humanity has increased global greenhouse gas concentrations (here in CO₂-equivalents), compared to the natural changes over the preceding 130,000 years:

#ClimateChange is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. We’re causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes
We are taking Earth’s climate beyond natural limits with carbon dioxide & temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years.

“Universities need to address legitimate criticisms with humility and openness. But the way to bring about constructive change is not by destroying the nation’s capacity for scientific research, or through the government taking command of a private institution,” Stanford President Jonathan Levin and Provost Jenny Martinez wrote in a Tuesday statement.
Talk about grandstanding! Fake empathy all the way. Sorry for your loss Ms Morin.
Donald Trump murdered Abrego Garcia, & many others, by wrongfully sending them to an extermination camp… and he plans on doing the same to US citizens.
Meeting with Patty Morin is nothing more than pushing the great replacement theory. This is Nazi propaganda.
