This wasn’t how it was supposed to be… The tragic truth is that, as some of us warned a decade ago, mainstream climate science has turned out to be the opposite of alarmist. It has turned out to be complacent and over-optimistic. Truthfulness - and strategic adaptation - are urgent. (Pse repost.)
Dr. Aaron Thierry@thierryaaron.bsky.social · 2d agoA first year above 2C in the mid-2030s now looks plausible. 0.5C was first passed in 1980, 1.0C in 2010 and 1.5C in 2024. The 15-year trend runs at 0.42C per decade. The 2026 and 2027 points for the current El Nino are estimates. We're not remotely ready!
"good faith people who care a lot about women's sports" not a thing. good faith people would listen to the facts, read the studies, listen to the experiences of trans people and base their opinions off of that. but all they do is parrot boogeyman rhetoric invented by the transphobic far right.

While this matters for all wildlife in the area, it will have the most impact on the Texas ocelot. Fewer than 100 wild ocelots remain in the U.S., all of them confined to a tiny, fragile footprint at the southernmost tip of Texas. Habitat fragmentation is the greatest threat to their survival. /5
Global sea-surface temperatures just reached their 50th consecutive record hot day and are expected to continue to rise for another month. This is so far beyond 'bonkers' (technical climate science term) that the Climate 8-ball has decided to start drinking early today.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social · 4w agoYeah, ok. I thought the explosive diarrhea thing was like food poisoning: a day or two, then you're done. That's not what this is. This is WEEKS. Do not want.
You can't grow healthy food in unhealthy soil. Decades of short-term thinking have stripped away the foundation our farmers depend on. Healthy soil means healthy Texans.

I don’t remember if Lindsey Graham or Brett Kavanaugh melted down first, but their back-to-back, angry outbursts are part of the reason Donald Trump didn’t pull the nomination after Christine Blasey Ford came forward.
lol once again the Knicks win may have reset our current timeline
I wonder if we’ll FINALLY find out what 47 had on Graham? He was completely cowed after that golf game. Pretty sure that Graham isn’t resting in peace.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.
Predictable and completely infuriating. ICE appears to have concocted the same story as in the murder of Renee good— that victim “weaponized his vehicle” & ir was self-defense.The victim had been in the country 35 years raised three sons never a criminal violation. share.google/dVxYFTgjJ24p...

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.
I just want to say, while we’re on the subject: ALL of our youth sports, in one way or another, are too expensive & have too high of a barriers of entry - not just soccer. + we should reform our youth sports not with the goal to win a mWC, but with the goal to provide opps to play for all kids

You know how glaringly obvious it was from day one Platner was bad news? That’s how obvious it is from the data for climate scientists and meteorologists that we are entering a deadly, chaotic new phase of climate breakdown next year. They are astounded how little ppl are talking about it.
