Climate, war, and inequality are linked at the DNA level: 3 sides of the same coin.

Don't kid yourself:

CLIMATE, GENOCIDE, and the ERASURE of YOUR RIGHTS are linked at the DNA level.

Three sides of the same coin.

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

An audience member at a Q&A recently asked me why I'm so apocalyptic. The genocide in Gaza, beyond being a tragedy, marks an irreversible shift in the global world order. Before the genocide, the imperialist ambitions of the Western oligarchic class were partially constrained by the utopian ideal of the rules-based order. Now that ideal is gone, and unrestrained barbarity will characterize the methodology of the war-making ruling class. In other words — our future is an apocalyptic one.

Here's a segment on Democracy Now yesterday, where I talk about my forced resignation from NASA this week, how this administration has been dismantling science, and why we're still in danger from global heating.

Iran's military response to the US and Israel cannot be viewed in a vacuum — its decision to attack Tel Aviv and American military bases in the region was preceded by Israel's egregious war crime of killing negotiators working on behalf of Iran twice as well as the initial launching of hostilities by the Trump administration and Israel. Trump believed he could replicate the Venezuela outcome in Iran. The reality, however, is that Iran holds all the cards in these talks, and it will not give them up.

WOW.

AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.

This is very HARD TO WATCH.

Picture reaching for something on a high shelf and coming up short. You don’t give up; instead, you find a stool, carry it over, and climb up. Buried in that action is something remarkable: You held the goal in your mind, identified what you needed, and executed a plan. No training required.

A study suggests bumble bees can do the same—the first demonstration of this kind of goal-directed problem-solving in an insect.

A reality check for the politicians and media types who talk as if we're addressing the #ClimateCrisis adequately.

Saying that we are, as they continually do, doesn't make it true.

There's a discussion on BlueSky about choosing the appropriate 2°C global carbon budget that aligns with the UNFCCC, Paris, ICJ, etc, climate commitments. The discussion is here: https://t.co/dO6EZ61z4F

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

@GaryMarcus @DavidSacks Not to mention that climate is far from a trivial issue, it's literally the biggest crisis humankind's ever faced.

[Kerry Burgess @KerryBurgess]

With Germanys failure to get elected to the United Nations Security Council, this brilliant address by Slovenia, Spain, and Belgiums action in Europe and the weakening of the US/Israeli military by their defeat in Iran, there is real hope that US/Israeli global terrorism may finally be addressed.

“The real surprise from the OECD’s subsidy numbers is that it cost China less than $18bn in sectoral support over 15 years to build an industry that can now provide more clean power than the world can readily absorb.”

[PBS News @NewsHour]

Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.

Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.

Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.

William Brangham (@WmBrangham) explains.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Ocean currents have a huge impact on our planet. That's why it is beyond stupid for Trump to dismantle America's huge network of ocean sensors. https://t.co/LS0gM3YrqH
