Money can't buy a livable climate. Man deserves extinction.

This (from the @wsj.com Editorial Board) distills every denialist trope there is: It implies climate change isn’t exacerbating extreme weather. It calls solutions “costly … nostrums.” It fosters doomerism. And it suggests we can just adapt to or “manage” climate impacts. How is this journalism?

Blaming climate change is the default explanation these days for any natural disaster, but Europe's costly solutions will make little difference to global temperatures.
Better forest management and fire prevention can make a difference, however.
And they would reduce the CO2 emissions from fires that now overwhelm much of the
reduction from electric vehicles or other climate nostrums.

I've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.

Since 1970 animal populations have decreased 74%, and the WWF only tracked vertebrates. I've watched the ecosystem on my front porch crash over 4 years. Expect untold acceleration. www.worldwildlife.org/news/press-r... Worst part? NW Florida's insect population has crashed. Food. Chain.

WWF LPR: Nature in Crisis

WWF’s Living Planet Report shows a 73% drop in wildlife populations since 1970, urging urgent action to avoid irreversible tipping points.

Ocean acidification caused by excess co2 from human activity has led to a 30% increase in hydrogen ion concentration that is killing the ocean and marine life reducing the availability of carbonate ions needed by countless marine organisms to build shells and skeletons phys.org/news/2026-07...

Ocean acidification emerging as a planetary signal linking today's carbon emissions to Earth's deep-time memory

When most people hear the phrase "ocean acidification," they think of coral reefs, shellfish or declining fisheries. Those concerns are real. But while working on our recent research, I found myself a...

Spahn trifft sich mehrfach mit dem Tech-Faschisten Thiel und er schweigt darüber. Dobrindt wird wohl in Amerika an einem Anti-Antifa-Treffen teilnehmen, fast täglich spricht er über die Gefahr durch den kaum existenten Linksextremismus. Merz prahlte: „Links ist vorbei” Klar sind das Faschos!

So someone putatively *on the left* tried to throw some really acrid contempt on me & my book because I said that governments were “colluding” w fossil fuel companies. (More on this in the Fall.) Well. Turns out, this is what the Trump regime is LITERALLY doing. Read this bombshell reporting 👇 🧵

In another instance, the ExxonMobil chief executive, Darren Woods, voiced concerns about European Union regulations that required big companies to monitor and reduce the environmental effects of their activities and develop "climate transition plans."
Haberman and Swan report that, upon hearing this, Trump instructed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to impose additional tariffs on the E.U. until they abandoned those regulations.

1/3. NO NO NO Strategic - No! This moment calls for prophecy - the insistance on being human in the face of the betrayal of all humanity. Climate - No! Focus on the criminal not the crime - the murderous elites. Risk - No! Stop pretending things could happen - mass death is now certain.

Hallo liebe Boiling Frogs! Seht ihr? Schön alles im Sommer-/WM-Loch verabschiedet und mit allen weiteren beschlossenen "Reform"-Maßnahmen, die ihre Menschenfeindlichkeit erst im Ineinandergreifen entfalten. So erlebt die BRD gerade den größten neoliberalen, autoritären Umbau in ihrer Geschichte!

Words fail. Words fail. A new paper from University of Exeter just found that coral reefs have hit their tipping point - the precipice from which there may be no return. This is a calamity. This is a disaster. This is code red for humanity. (1/11) 🧵
