My goal working in #climate is that on Jan 1st, 2050, my dear friend who - despite many other fine qualities - doesn't believe in #climatechange will turn to me and say, "I told you so. Nothing much happened."
I shall perfect my delivery of, "Yes, dear" as the date approaches.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

The BLS just released the *final* CES benchmark revisions with this morning's jobs report.
The 2025 labor market was dramatically weaker than originally reported... and for 12 straight months, job growth was never statistically different from zero.

When my MIL had Alzheimer's she invented "That Woman", a shady figure who stole her things. Something missing? That Woman took it.
Alas, we never caught That Woman. And as a result, she has now escalated to moonlighting as Prime Minister of Switzerland.
(Switzerland has no Prime Minister.)

Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

I have known several dogs who I am fairly sure had no brain either, and like Maggie, they were also very happy.
A woman discovered her dog had almost no brain after taking her to the vet for a seizure. This is Maggie. She had hydrocephalus, a fluid buildup in the brain cavity that filled 95% of her skull. Low sodium levels kept the disease at bay and allowed her to live to the ripe old age of 12. 13/10

The main point about Net Zero is not that it’s a vote-winner or loser, or even that it’s a legal or treaty commitment.
It’s that it’s essential to the medium-term liveability of our planet.
