ANOTHER death in ICE detention which appears likely to be the result of medical neglect. A diabetic who told his family members he wasn't receiving regular insulin shots OR getting diabetic-appropriate meals just died in custody. The U.S. prison-ICE detention-industrial complex kills.

As a scientist outside the US, this is staggering. Decades of world-leading Earth, Ocean and atmospheric research and a generation of scientists are at risk. … and, of course, science is often a team sport so the consequences for global scientific collaboration will extend far beyond the US.

NSF has reduced the research budget for all atmospheric, ocean, and earth sciences by ~80%. 80%! A lot of us will not be conducting new research or training new students for the foreseeable future.

Below is my best attempt to summarize the broad themes of the book. If any of this interests you pls buy so I can continue doing this

Think of CO₂ removal like a time machine. How far back does planting 100 million trees take us? One mature tree takes up ~25 kg of CO₂/year, so 100 million trees will take up 2.5 MtCO₂. That's a time machine that takes us back ~33 minutes in a year. Nature will not save us from fossil fuel CO₂.
