Do you know what would be better forest management? ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE
Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they)@doctorvive.bsky.social · 2d agoThis (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?
Today is what’s known as Earth Overshoot Day. According to the Global Footprint Network, humanity has already used up the natural resources that the Earth can regenerate within a single year. The organization recalculates the exact date every year.

This grotesque headline is from the Telegraph. 3,000 people in Britain have been killed in heatwaves this year so far. 20,000 in Europe. Even if Britain did get to “embrace Mediterranean life”, what about the actual Mediterranean, what do they get to embrace? What about India?

Isn't it great to have a President that makes enemies out of our friends, sends his violent troops into America's biggest, most beautiful cities to murder people, sends the costs of fuel and goods soaring while stuffing his pockets with billions in crypto and dark money and never plans to leave?

Trump's economy is crumbling amid high inflation. His Big Ugly Bill has cost millions their healthcare. His war with Iran has no end in sight. His approval rating has plunged. Now he's peddling election denial nonsense to cover up his own failures.
5/5 One last thing. Thank you to the dedicated CDC scientists, laboratorians, epidemiologists, and support staff working on this outbreak and so many others. Public health continues because of your commitment, even under extraordinarily difficult circumstances and cuts.💚💚

Ontario budgeted $150M for wildfire response in 2026 despite spending $271M last year. Now, half way through July, there are approx 190 active wildfires. There have been 483 total this season. There were 351 TOTAL last year. Story for @nationalobserver.com from last month.
Ontario budgets just $150M for wildfires despite burning through almost double last year

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 3w agoAnyway I see the same thing happening in the Climate Doom people. There's this very visceral and convincing version of the world that they had envisioned that would require some very painful moral choices to adapt to, and it turns out "batteries + solar" are basically able to fix the problem.

There is no election security crisis. Trump manufactures the illness himself and then eases the crisis of his own making. I believe psychiatrists refer to this phenomenon as "Munchausen by Nazi” (pardon my accent). abcnews.com/Health/munch...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoRep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"
Trump's own declassified docs confirm Russia ran the Burisma/Biden smear with US officials to help Trump win in 2020. He released proof he was the beneficiary of foreign election interference. In a speech about foreign election interference.
He should have gone to prison for pressuring Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes. That’s the very definition of election interference. We all heard the call.
