Re billionaires. If someone spent £10,000 a day, it would take about 273 years* to spend £1 billion. No one needs that much. *That's not a guess, I did the calculation (twice, to check)

Fossil fuels are pushing the Earth through a geologically-significant transition from Icehouse Earth to Hothouse Earth. These transitions normally take tens of thousands of years, and are associated with extinctions. This transition is far more rapid. www.livescience.com/oldest-clima...

This was floated months ago. Trump wants to build casinos and hotels there for Nomad Capitalists. It might be a "super-tax-haven" entirely outside any jurisdiction, where the super-rich can base themselves without paying any taxes anywhere. It could end up with millions of nominal "citizens",

"The climatic impacts of releasing fossil fuel CO2 to the atmosphere will last longer than Stonehenge. Longer than time capsules, longer than nuclear waste, far longer than the age of human civilization so far." - David Archer, Professor of Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago.
"We are messing with the trigger that causes climate change....the outcome is likely to be ferocious." - Prof Russell Coope (1930-2011) - who accidentally discovered abrupt climate change events, while researching the geology of the Ice Age in the English Midlands, back in the 1950s.

Climate deniers are winning. The climate crisis hardly features as an issue for voters. The media did this.

"Weather whiplash". It's linked to the disruption of the water cycle caused by global warming.
After the PETM warming event around 56 million years ago, it took around 20 million years for CO2 levels to fall sufficiently for glaciation to begin in Antarctica, at the Eocene-Oligocene transition. The CO2 was mainly taken up by weathering of the newly-rising Himalayas.

Public service catering should be entirely plant-based. It would save money and it would create a bigger market for plant-based food businesses - and it would expose more of the public to this way of eating. It should be called Future Food.

Perhaps everyone SHOULD expect the Spanish Inquisition (or a new version)?
Before long, real scientists will be on trial for witchcraft in the USA. MAGA is creating a medieval theme park.
The wildfires that raged across Greece, Turkey and Cyprus this summer were 22% more intense and 10 times more likely than they would have been in a world without climate change, according to scientists at @wwattribution.bsky.social FREE link via @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
MAGA is all about medievalism, based on ignorance and religious extremism.
"We found that the tipping point where the shutdown becomes inevitable is probably in the next 10 to 20 years or so. That is ... why we have to act really fast to cut down emissions,” says @rahmstorf.bsky.social in @theguardian.com's report on a new #AMOC study: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
MAGA is based on a medieval world-view. The divine right of kings; the superiority of white males; the subjugation of women; the supremacy of religion; the suppression of science.

New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...

We've supercharged the water cycle by burning fossil fuels. That's why we're getting CO2-enhanced extreme rainfall events. "Climate change increases extreme rainfall and the chance of floods" - Blenkinsop et al, June 2021.

Adam, before long the officer who shot her will be arrested for murder. Why else is Trump talking about DC murders and the potential punishment?
Are there no psychiatrists in the USA? Why are all the villages in the USA sending their idiots to be part of the government?

Obviously this is an assault.
Why aren't Democratic leaders holding daily press conferences to list out every single authoritarian action he's taking each day? Please. Start now. Stop waiting for what the polls say. Stop looking to consultants for what language to use. Speak plainly about fascism now. START NOW!
The MAGAs are twinning the USA with the Dark Ages.

They want a fascist government, and polls suggest they will get one after the next election.
Anyone who agrees with what she posted is disgusting.
Too late. The USA is now twinned with the Dark Ages.

Burning fossil fuels disrupts the long-term (geological) carbon cycle. eg. Forming the plant material to make ONE typical coal seam took ~100,000 years of photosynthesis in ancient forests. To understand how climate change is caused by fossil fuels, one thing you need to be aware of is Deep Time.

Here in the UK, the final coal power station closed nearly a year ago. Basically it has been replaced by wind power.
50% of the global climate crisis relates to the lifestyles of the most affluent 10% of the global population. They just can't live like ordinary people; it's an illness.

Well, that was certain to happen. Court orders are just bits of paper now.
Here in the UK, in 2024, wind provided about 30% of our electricity, and we have the potential for plenty more. It has totally displaced coal - the last UK coal power station closed nearly a year ago.
Absolutely. I'm a Brit, I remember Watergate. Every reporter for every media operation should watch the movie "All The President's Men" to relearn what they are supposed to do.
If people think that there is large-scale migration now, they will be shocked by what happens as climate chaos causes the collapse of agriculture in more and more countries, as this century goes on.
Migration has been picked as the wedge-issue by the far-right because it is a problem with no solution. The media love it because it can be stirred up to cause public disorder, which produces lots of clicks. Migration is how people react to social stress.
UK Politics. Flags on lamp-posts. I saw a report that someone was harvesting them carefully, folding them neatly, then taking them to pubs and selling them to "patriots". He claimed he'd made enough to pay for a holiday.
It's very likely the UK will have a far-right government after the next election. Migration has been picked as the wedge-issue by the far-right because it is a problem with no solution. The media love it because it can be stirred up to cause public disorder, which produces lots of clicks.

Climate research comes from geology, geophysics, geochemistry, oceanography, atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric physics, meteorology, glaciology, etc. 100s of 1000s of scientific papers, from dozens of countries, since the 19th century. It's not some fringe thing from a handful of scientists.
She should reply with a letter firing him. He's so far gone he might just pack his bag and go.
