Important to look at this data and decide what it means for you, for y/our priorities, and how to address it.
Holy wow, +3.5 ppm CO₂ last year, up from +2.4 ppm average the past decade, and +0.6 ppm in the 1960s.

It gets scarier the closer you look at it. All this is a stress test for the planet, and it's buckling.

Two big reasons for the massive increase: wildfires, and the ocean sinks are shutting down.

Together with the attack on what is called the "endangerment finding" this administration is advancing pollution, ill health, and climate catastrophe.
Electric truck registrations have surged 48% in Europe; diesel registrations plummeted 16.8%, says industry body ACEA. It’s time for ACEA and truck makers Daimler and Volvo to pivot to electric trucks - or risk getting left behind by China

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

The "proof of citizenship" portion will likely follow the provisions of the SAVE act which requires birth certificates or passports. Since most women do not update birth certificates when changing surnames after marriage, it would effectively disenfranchise most women. 19thnews.org/2025/03/save...
An effort to block non-citizens from voting could impact married women, too
Voting rights groups say the SAVE Act would create a barrier for millions of Americans who have changed their legal name because of marriage or to better align with their gender identity.

Like I've been saying: Republican members of Congress are simply unprepared for what their lives are going to be like while they let Trump–Musk destroy everything.

"Like 2017" isn't even close to what lies ahead when the inflation hits and the social security checks fail.
The man cleared his throat.
