In a sane world, this would be front page news everywhere. But it will hardly be covered anywhere. The North Pacific Ocean surface warmed over twice as much over the past 15 years than it did over the preceding 156 years. That's an increase in warming rate of >2000%!

You can judge a person by the size of their moral circle. Trump, for instance, has the smallest possible moral circle, containing only him. Be the opposite: expand your circle. Include, for example, animals currently raised for food. We shut them out of our consciences. It's time to bring them in.

Please remember that capitalism has invested heavily in its own justifications, disguising its true nature and creating huge confusion about what it is and what distinguishes it from prior and other practices. Unpicking this and understanding what it really is have long been crucial political tasks.
