Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Do you ever even question what in hell happened to you? How did you become so lacking in innate empathy, so devoid of mercy or basic decency that you came to view the vilest, most wretched, most violent abuse of us fellow sentient animals as unobjectionable?

The core principle of fascism resides not within its ideology but within its deliberate actions to show that there’s no limits to what atrocities may be done to a vulnerable individual or group of individuals to demonstrate absolute superiority.

We are not just arrogant & narcissistic supremacists, we are delusional and deny how life works. When we deny how life works, we can't be true to our own nature. When we are not true to our own nature, when we deny our place and who we are, we harm our own life before death.

A new weasel species just found in China. Every time I mention “dark extinctions,” people demand proof. But how do you prove the loss of a species we never knew existed?

There are more undiscovered species than known ones.
Extinction often happens before discovery.

Humans kill 100m sharks every year. 73% have their fins chopped off & are thrown back into the sea to die slowly & painfully. Wtf is wrong with us? 🤬

"Mankind"... what an oxymoron. Let's hope there are some other species left when our reign of terror on Earth comes to a messy and inglorious end.

At the end of each year, FDA releases data on antibiotics sold for use in livestock.

It usually changes a few %. This year, it went up 15.8%.

I was shocked & emailed experts/industry groups. Likeliest explanation per a source: industry is not "being good stewards of antibiotics"

Please think before you give a dog (cat, rabbit, or any animal companion) as a gift. Remember these are living souls that will require a life-long commitment of love and caring. They are NOT an object that when you or your children get bored with can be tossed aside or thrown out.

“Stop shoving veganism in my face,” they say, while their demand for meat and dairy shoves suffering into the world and quietly forces the rest of us to absorb the climate damage, land loss, water use, animal cruelty, and generational cost.

Not been a fan of Mr. Neeson since over a decade ago when he was on Jon Stewart's Daily Show defending the abusive horse carriage industry in NYC. Loved that Jon Stewart pushed back. Anyway, Neeson wrong again.

Wow, talk about arrogance and ignorance-judging all other life forms based on their utility to humankind... sickening, to say the least.

Yes, animal farming produces more CO2 than flying - globally. But most of the world's population don't fly. In richer countries, we have a responsibility to do more (or less).

Is it better to go vegan or stop flying?
It’s commonly quoted that animal agriculture produces more CO2 than aviation, therefore giving up meat would have more impact than giving up flying. We look at the numbers behind the claims.
