The failure of carbon offsets to cut planet-heating pollution is “not due to a few bad apples”, a review paper has found, but down to deep-seated systemic problems that incremental change will not solve.
Not only was the toilet not properly flushing carbon, but more and more waste was being added to these waters as the heat waves rolled on. grist.org/climate/the-...
Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.
No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
Your 'moment of doom' for Oct. 7, 2025 ~ our yesterdays have lighted fools.

1. CBS, once one of America's most trusted sources for news, has hired anti-woke crusader Bari Weiss as its Editor-in-Chief
With Weiss, CBS is embracing someone who talks a lot about honesty but has a history of distorting the truth to conform to her right-wing ideological agenda.
Roads, farms & cities are locking big cats into shrinking habitat. Cut off from neighbors, they can’t swap genes. Inbreeding magnifies every other threat—poaching, disease, habitat loss. #RacingToExtinction apple.news/AXc1vozjeTKe...
"The current extinction has its own novel cause: not an asteroid or a massive volcanic eruption, but one weedy species... We're seeing right now that a mass extinction can be caused by human beings."
NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse
A new left-wing political approach must emerge from the Supreme Court’s destruction of laws and rights—an approach that doesn’t rely on the courts to enforce social progress, but relies on the people to force social progress on the courts. @elienyc.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...
"Technology companies mine and sell our attention like coal. They have turned looking into a form of labor that enriches them while exhausting us." (Yes, that's you, Insta) brooklynrail.org/2025/10/art/...
Thune: "We've told them we'll have a conversation about some of these things, like the ACA tax credits. Although that in and of itself is another issue that the Democrats created because they put the expiration date in place. They expanded these tax credits."
"Perhaps the most forgivable reason why scientists have not gotten more involved is because they love science, and believe that truth wins out in the end."
Your 'moment of doom' for Oct. 6, 2025 ~ Uninhabitable.
"...these large, flowing bodies of ice can take decades to fully adjust to the rapidly warming climate... even if global temperatures stabilised tomorrow, glaciers would continue to retreat."
"We cannot have markets on wildfires because a human could set or accelerate a wildfire,” said Such. “We don’t want to create a financial incentive for people to start fires.”
There are two primary causes of the desiccation: rising temperatures unleashed by using oil and gas, and widespread overpumping of water that took millennia to accumulate underground. www.latimes.com/environment/...
This year may be remembered as one of the gravest for marine mammals on record. Or, more worryingly, a sign that our ocean environment is changing so drastically that in some places and seasons, it’s becoming uninhabitable for the life it holds.
