This does not bode well

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

In case you missed it, as of Feb. 22, 2025: * Arctic sea-ice extent: lowest * Antarctic sea-ice extent: 2nd lowest * Global sea-ice extent: lowest * Global mean surface temperature: 4th highest * Global sea-surface temperature: 2nd highest * 36-month albedo: lowest * Collapse of everything: highest

What a gem the CBC is! Telling our stories. All the time. Everywhere. Poilievre promises to kill the CBC within 100 days and (plausibly) sell-off the radio and TV assets to Musk / Murdoch-type oligarchs? Let's #SavetheCBC & Vote strategically to stop the Cons from winning the next election. #Canada

The collapse of global industrial civilization is happening much faster than expected. It hurts terribly to watch these evil people do their evil things. But I keep returning to the truth that the faster modern civilization is gone, the better off everything else will be. Is it good or bad?

Saving the CBC isn't just about protecting your favourite program or personality. It's about preserving national unity -- and preventing Canada from being subject to a hostile foreign takeover. www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/19/o...

Not looking good…#climatechange

Global warming has accelerated, a lot! The first 19 days of 2025 were on average +1.74°C above pre-industrial. That's about 0.1°C warmer than the same period last year. Then we had an El Niño, now a La Niña.

This is extraordinarily honest reporting from the BBC - must watch. Clearly states that renewable energy is being added to fossil fuels, not replacing them. #overshoot #collapse youtu.be/ZAQGoXIkTlw?...
