What is the news? All the BS about Trump and the usual nonsense. What isn't news. We're passing 1.5°C. We're likely passing planetary boundaries that will make the planet not the planet our species took hold in. On the BBC, we have Johan Rockström of @pik-potsdam.bsky.social: youtu.be/2HUor5EOFeI

President Trump made the offer to Xi Jinping, China’s leader, said David Perdue, the ambassador to China. The White House later said the U.S. had no plans for such a sale.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

This is the second ruling against the illegal recision of Solar For All money. In a country with rule of law in effect, that would be it -- the money would be restored. But we have to ask ourselves whether Trump will simply ignore the ruling & if so whether there will be any consequences.

When you elect more Democrats, they try to pass climate policy. When you elect more Republicans, they try to block climate policy. This is not Democrats' fault. Republicans make their own choices & are responsible for those choices. They are not helpless victims of the way climate activists talk.

If one of the "rewards" of affluence is that you get to opt out of the services everyone else uses -- roads & transit, aviation system, schools, healthcare, etc. -- then those services are inevitably starved of resources & decline. We have to force affluent people to be invested in them.
