"[We] identify a statistically significant doubling of the global warming rate during 2011–2025 (0.40 °C per dec) compared to 1971–2025 (0.20 °C per dec)... The ensemble mean of 26 #climate models fails to capture the observed doubling of the warming rate, simulating a rate of only 0.29 °C per dec"

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Commissioner for Human Rights & X.com
@CommissionerHR
I am alarmed by the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Oleshky, a town in the temporarily occupied parts of the Kherson region of Ukraine.
Civilians, including children, are trapped without sufficient food, medicines, medical care, running water or electricity. Reports indicate that they face a high risk of death.
Under international humanitarian law, Russia, as the occupying power, has the duty to provide food and medical supplies and to facilitate humanitarian relief.
I call for an immediate local ceasefire, unhindered humanitarian access, and the safe evacuation of civilians.
The hardship and suffering of people caught along the frontlines of the war and in occupied territories demand international attention and action. #humanrights #Ukraine #Oleshky #Kherson

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

The climate emergency is manifesting and we have very few politicians and even fewer journalists championing any kind of action. We are heading for an eco collapse and we’re pretending like all is fine. It’s why I decided not to have children 30 years ago. I suspected it would play out like this.

Copy pasting the announcement on the monthly basis What made the "vulnerable nations" turn to RU oil and why is this continuing to sponsor Putin's war for the exact 80 days now?
Bessent: .
@USTreasury
 is issuing a temporary 30-day general license to provide the most vulnerable nations with the ability to temporarily access Russian oil currently stranded at sea. 

This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries. 

It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China’s ability to stockpile discounted oil.

LANDMAN is ripe for this because it routinely has Billy Bob Thornton go off on wholly-untrue pro-oil rants. His most famous one is about wind turbines not offsetting any carbon over their 20-year life cycle. In reality, they're fully offset within an average of 5.3 months.

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.
