For those wondering what we should be doing instead of growing populations, meat & cars? We should be reducing populations, meat & cars. Reminder: Less growth is NOT reduction. Replacing is NOT reduction.
Instead of 10 billion humans by 2050, we should aim at 3 billion by 2100 and starting today.

We are at 1.5°C today. Without air pollution, we would be at 2.2°C today.
The 3°C budget will be zero before 2030. We will see 3°C before 2050.
When we see an article about EVs or solar ... is it clear to us that we see #denial in action? We pretend to live in 2006, not in 2026.

I mistakenly put on Avatar: Way of Water. Why do people like these movies so much? Well, my daughter appears to be into it. She won’t let me change it now

Given that the mass deportation efforts underway, the increasing barriers to work visas, and the tarrifs are all supposed to be improving the employment opportunities for US citizens, the increase in the unemployment rate shows just how badly this administration‘s policies are roiling the economy.

There's more dog & cat biomass on Earth than all wildlife mammal biomass on land. The livestock food of pets destroys the last habitats and kills the last wildlife animals left.

To be fair, this is also the entire response for all those in this country who oppose gun control.
The orange felon’s response to the deadly Brown University mass shooting is, “things can happen.”
What an evil immoral criminal piece of shit, he should be in jail, not in the White House. The world is so much darker under his tyranny.
