retired HDR. Climate extinction dreader At birth CO2 was 312 I should never have learned about CO2 and CH4-driven extinction events. It's insane that the majesty and beauty of this planet will never be admired by anyone again.

Trump did this and those that voted for him because they thought the economy was so much better under Trump 1.0 can take their tariffs to the bank that’s about to go under.

The health of our planet, which does not belong to billionaires, is NOT political. It’s physical reality that does not care about our puny machinations or our political leadership on either side of the aisle. One is in complete denial, and the other has been making promises they can’t keep.

As the spouse of a federal scientist, I can say we’re ALL living in a state of constant extreme anxiety. How little these salaries take from the annual budget. What vital work these scientists/others do. And if he loses his job we lose our NPS housing too. The cruelty & the terror ARE the point.
