We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

The most iconic species of them all, Emperor penguins, are under substantial threat. We are on track to lose them. Like so many scientists before, we call for rapid global decarbonisation for lifes’ sake. Like these calls before, its evidenced based & to ignore is at our collective peril.

“They should’ve come here legally,” MAGA says. Well, they did. One Afghan interpreter was arrested after a green card appointment. Another? Detained after his asylum hearing. Both helped U.S. troops. Now ICE wants to deport them.

The White House has instructed NASA to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.
