Some day water will be worth more than oil. You can't drink oil.
When demand exceeds supply, solutions stop existing.

The Colorado River isn’t facing a management problem. It’s facing a biophysical one.

We can negotiate scarcity, but we can’t negotiate water that isn’t there.

Since European colonization, North America has lost 9–11 billion birds.

• ~5–6 billion before 1940
• ~1–2 billion from 1940–1970
• ~2.9 billion since 1970

The quiet collapse of abundance is how the Sixth Mass Extinction is playing out: fewer wings, fewer songs.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Remind yourself of this every day.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Most extinctions today are ‘dark extinctions’….species that vanish before they’re described, monitored, or counted.
No database can record what was never discovered.

Biology is not accounting, and absence of paperwork is not absence of extinction.

From my niece to coworkers - I've yet to see anyone who takes these shots look 'healthy'. Yes people lose the weight, but there's something off about how they look. (Something I can't quite put my finger on.) I think in the future, people will have health issues traced back to these injections.
