“The soils are drained of their water, the vegetation is just scorched (massive defoliation and tree mortality observed in several regions).
I sincerely hope that this reality will finally spark a collective awakening.”
So far today: the Supreme Court left the $5 million E. Jean Carroll verdict against Trump intact, rejected an RNC challenge to mail-in ballots, and blocked Trump’s attempt to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook.

Ukrainian attack drones hit multiple power substations in Russian-occupied Crimea overnight, causing scattered outages.
Ukrainian drones have targeted Crimean power infrastructure nearly every night over the past week.
BREAKING: Iran has rejected Axios’ report claiming U.S.-Iran technical talks will take place in Doha this week, saying no technical working group meetings are scheduled and that any future round will only proceed once its conditions are met.
Iran says those conditions include an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, an end to Israeli military operations there, and the release of frozen Iranian funds.
Wir haben das stabile Klima des Holozäns (der letzten 10.000 Jahre) längst hinter uns gelassen. Ich forsche seit den 1990er Jahren zum Paläoklima.
Ich kann nur dringend empfehlen, jetzt eine Notbremsung bei der fossilen Energienutzung zu machen!
Für unsere Kinder. Bitte.
JUST IN: In a major blow to Donald Trump, the Supreme Court ruled that election officials can count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, as long as they were postmarked beforehand, rejecting a challenge by the Republican National Committee.
Ukraine’s aggressive mid-range drone campaign is already a clear success, but observers must realize that a logistics lockdown takes months of continuous pressure before it alters the situation on the front.
Make no mistake, things are getting much worse for the Russian military behind the scenes. However, the tangible results of this mid-range strike campaign take time to filter down to the actual combat zones.
The Kremlin still commands a vast logistics network consisting of thousands of trucks and railway systems. Frontline Russian units can also draw from deep stockpiles. Even a perfectly executed campaign against logistics cannot magically empty those warehouses in a few weeks.
By the time August or September arrives, months of continuous pressure will likely leave some Russian troops struggling to find basic supplies.
Observers need to be patient. The war is not about to reach a sudden conclusion, even if Ukraine’s latest moves are effectively shifting the balance of power
APPLEBAUM: Trump is not somebody who really thinks strategically, and he reacts to whatever makes him feel, in a given moment, like he's the winner. I think Russians probably cultivate that.
Russians have also been offering Trump and business people close to Trump some kind of business deal after war in Ukraine ends, if they can end it in a way that's advantageous to Russia.
So, Russians are anxious to cultivate Trump in order to make that happen.
Devil is dead
Hamas commander Walid Haniyeh who roasted two Jewish newborns by putting them in a microwave, who killed a Christian tourist by ripping out her intestines after r@ping her on October 7 has been killed in an intelligence based operation. He was hiding as a barber.
The GFS model is suggesting the UK will see widespread temperatures of 40° C as early as next Tuesday.
I’m not sure the country could cope with this considering how awful the last week was. We had two days of this in 2022 and the fact this is happening so early is disturbingly ominous.
The oil market is in a race against the clock. Global oil inventories continue to fall, with onshore storage now at its seasonally lowest point in recorded history. Strait inbounds remain far below necessary levels to allow the return of ~ 11MM Bbl/d of still shut-in Middle Eastern production. Iran is clearly in charge, and my best advisors continue to believe they will not relinquish control. The biggest unknown is Chinese imports, down ~4.7MM Bbl/d and the single biggest reason why we did not see the demand-reducing price spike...yet. Visible Chinese inventories have barely fallen yet their imports are down ~450MM Bbls = significant and unsustainable drop in invisible refined product and oil stocks. When does China come back? With only ~90MM Bbls of remaining barrels stuck in the Strait, the net balance once that is absorbed is outbound tankers vs. curtailed production vs. reduced inbound tankers (the one to watch) = continued inventory draws. With the crude curve below pre-war levels, the market is completely apathetic to the above, fully believing in every tweet declaring imminent peace. Yet, the clock continues to count down to operational lows and tank bottoms.
@RyanWeather@USWeatherExpert So, how volcano increase productivity because light scatter… it doesn’t apply to row crops. It’s forest undergrowth where all the gains are.
If Putin rejects President Zelenskyy’s terms for a ceasefire, Russia may want to enjoy what’s left of its oil industry — because in a month or so, there won’t be much of it left. 🔥🔥
