You almost have to admire the hubris of trying to frame this as a “preemptive attack” when the ENTIRE PURPOSE IS TO PROVOKE A RESPONSE FROM IRAN in order to justify ongoing and more extensive strikes.

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike. When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

Let’s recall that Sumners was an advisor in Democratic administrations. He oversaw some of the most draconian and regressive policies when Democrats were in power. They (Senators et al) should disavow this elitist freak who was all about cutting social welfare and bolstering neoliberalism.

La Nina is here and the global cool-down is well underway (global mean sea surface temps are lowest since March 2023). Remember it's not the individual ups & downs that matter, it's the steady warming trend, which will continue until we reach zero carbon emissions. #Urgency #StayFocused #COP30

Direct air capture is not currently viable strategy. Likely increases carbon pollution (more carbon energy required to than saved).

Study casts doubt on carbon capture

Current approaches to carbon capture can increase air pollution and are not efficient at reducing carbon in the atmosphere, according to research from Mark Z. Jacobson.
