#Trump ’s plan? Tank the #economy with trade wars and sanctions, let it crash, then watch the ultra-rich rake in #bailout billions—AGAIN. It’s not madness; it’s a #scam, and you’re the sucker footing the bill. Immoral? That’s just how #oligarchs like it. Watch Professor Richard Murphy explain⬇️

I cannot believe what I saw in that White House meeting. Utterly incredible. Possibly the most embarrassing and pathetic US foreign policy moment of my lifetime, as two bullies utterly failed to face down a guy whose country's back is against the wall. 1/3

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

Two studies published yesterday in Nature Climate Change find that Earth has effectively already warmed 1.5°C. Yes, this seems to be happening silently, but to be clear: over 1.5C of heating some places become uninhabitable and the risk of tipping points rises enormously. 1/n

Lots of people out there saying, "at least by fucking everything up they're showing how incompetent they are, which will turn voters against them." I just wonder where in the world people get this hope. America made it all the way through the election in near-total ignorance. Why would that change?

"The issue is hugely politically sensitive, and a review of rural housing guidelines begun 8 years ago is still not complete. That is despite pleas from planning experts going back to the 1970s urging governments to rein in rural sprawl and focus on growing the regional towns and villages instead."

In Spain, the “government has approved “paid climate leave” of up to 4 days to allow workers to avoid travelling during weather emergencies, a month after floods killed at least 224 people… The new measure aims to “regulate in accordance with the climate emergency” so that “no worker must run risks”
