I've been encountering over the past few days the claim that the planet is warming twice as fast as predicted. This is entirely untruthful and unhelpful. The planet is warming AS fast as predicted, which is cause enough for dramatic action. The truth is bad enough!

Excellent article. I will look further in the lit, but wondering now if Bluesky folks have personal opinions based on experiences re: the conditions under which the word “global” turns off listeners and readers— is a non-persuasive turnoff, a cause of pushback www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/o...

The main argument for a Strategic BItcoin Reserve seems to be that Bitcoin holders worry about an impending shortage of greater fools and need the US government to act as the greatest fool of last resort.

I had mistakenly thought the Dem-controlled Senate was able to pass all the pediatric cancer provisions that the House GOP cut after Musk's tantrum. But only a small funding extension for an existing program ultimately passed. The more significant other provisions (first four items below) are dead.

Do Senate Republicans care about Trump's unqualified cabinet picks? Will they let him try to destroy the institutions of government? Or will they PROTECT the American people from Trump's obvious efforts to just burn it all down?
