If you want to convince me Geoengineering is a bad idea, you must first convince me that AMOC collapse, permarfost thaw, wetland methane feedbacks, collapsing carbon sinks, Amazon dieback, Twaithes collapse etc. can be solved by emissions reductions alone.

My day started early with a meeting with other Lead Authors in my chapter as we prep the Zero Order Draft for the IPCC next Assessment Report. As it now became usual, the first minutes were dedicated to commenting the US situation. “How am I doing?”, they ask?

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

The news cycle this week has been a reminder of the ability of the US government and its client media to, seemingly overnight, downgrade the accepted value of a single human life. Which, of course, means the devaluing of _all_ lives.

Honestly, I think at this point this administration pulling out is better than the risk they would come to an approval session and just derail AR7 (had they found their way to the meeting place, incompetent as they are). And I don't think the IPCC will lack legitimacy by not involving a rogue govt.

On a global net basis, so far, 100% of renewable energy has gone to *new energy supply* rather than replacing FF energy. We know this because FF emissions are at a record high.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

Trump is probably focused on the money he wrongly thinks he'll make from Venezuelan oil. But he's not a details guy and nobody has thought through the details. Essentially, the US has taken over Venezuela by mistake. Stranger things have happened, but not many.

Stranger Things
The 1980s Nostalgia of Trump's Foreign Policy is probably going to end up, like Stranger Things, as a horror show.

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

Absolutely shameful that the Trump administration ordered NASA to close its library.

The books and research will reportedly be destroyed.
