Remember that time Joe Biden had 4 years to declare a climate emergency to fast-track urgently needed action, and didn't do it? And then Trump just made up a pretend "energy emergency" on Day 1 to fast-track oil and gas projects we didn't need at all? That was cool.

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

Your 'moment of doom' for Feb. 21, 2025 ~ Plastic people. "Researchers studying birds and the food they eat are now finding much larger volumes of the toxic PFAS chemicals than before. The substances either never break down or degrade very slowly, which is why they are called 'forever chemicals.'"

Your 'doom quote' for today: "Same as yesterday. Hot, stinking air. You can’t breathe it without a mask half the time. The greenhouse effect—they said it’d happen, and it did. The oceans are dying, the air’s rotten, the water’s poisonous, and there’s no place left to grow food."

The film “Hidden Figures” depicts the journey of three women. Mary Jackson is one of them. She was NASA’s first Black female engineer. Her work was pivotal in the space race. NASA’s HQ in Washington bears her name. She broke barriers in aerospace transforming wind tunnel research. Great legacy!

The atmosphere on a hotter planet can hold more water. Each 1°C increase in surface temperature increases the capacity to hold water vapor by about 7%. 1.5°C anomaly ≈ 11% more water vapor. This graph shows the 12-month running average for the "total column precipitable water." You can see it!

Oh look, the consensus of a team of climate scientists is that in late October, 2031, the great arctic and antarctic ice sheets will shear off, raising sea level worldwide by tens of feet and the AMOC will stop. #collapse
