Good news: We can tell you how much the globe will warm if we continue to burn fossil fuels and emit CO₂ at an alarming rate. Bad news: We’re terrible at telling you how bad the impacts will be, and they’re consistently worse than we predicted.

What better way to spend the Sabbath than by listening to Christopher Hitchens decimate religion. 🖖

The technological feasiblity to surveil, and algorithmically categorize entire populations, does not lend itself in anyway to the legitimacy of the practice. Nor should we assume that the conclusions spat out by these unthinking machines, contain any credibility whatsoever.

Two countries on NATO’s eastern flank have warned that Russia is preparing a possible “provocation” in the Baltic states or Poland in an effort to test the cohesion of the western military alliance.

A fire tornado has appeared in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said: “This is what a wildfire looks like that rescue teams from the Kyiv region are continuously battling in the exclusion zone.”

People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.

"Our public story still tells us that the world is mechanical, manageable, and moving toward progress. But our experience tells us something else: systems are coupled, consequences are delayed, certainty is fragile, and control is mostly temporary." (Art Berman) #collapse

Supercharged Heat Domes are appearing all around the Planet! Why? It’s a developing super El Niño combined with a much warmer Earth, spiking natural cycles with extra heat injected into the system and pattern changes manipulating the jet stream…1/

@jamestalarico.bsky.social is what a politician should be.

We are smarter than frogs! We know the pot is boiling and we’re getting a bit anxious. Problem is, we did start the fire and if we miraculously manage to jump out of the pot we discover it’s a bain-marie. (One for lovers of French food)

The first step in understanding Americans’ defense of Donald Trump is recognition of their ignorance and imbecility. These are the most incompetent voters who’ve ever lived. They know and understand nothing, and— like the characters in a zombie movie— exist only for one purpose.

For awareness, most of Iran’s air force and navy consist of old U.S. aircraft from the 1970s and aging Russian‑built vessels. Neither force is particularly impressive, nor is eliminating them a significant achievement.

Is anyone surprised? Bibi, and Putin are running American foreign policy. Thank Epstein.

“We’re just using existing water rights.” So did everyone else. That’s how the Rio Grande became a river of sand.

"The deeper question is no longer whether people can handle the truth. The question is whether truth still matters once it is competing not merely with a more compelling narrative, but with a more compelling experience." (Art Berman) #collapse

Your 'doom quote' for today: "We are living the spiraling endgame of industrial civilization: a senescent empire crumbling under the weight of its own moral corruption and foolish quest for eternal growth as the ecological foundations of life itself teeter on the brink."

Nino region 3.4 SST update for June 8. By year's end: a global temperature spike, record floods & droughts, massive heatwaves & storms, global crop failures & famine, wildfires, dead coral and other marine life, inflation and infrasructure collapse. Your mileage may vary.

Humanity is dying. It is of course, too stupid and too lazy and too entitled to know it is dying. But for those who care to cast a cold eye on immutable reality it is dying in real time, real quick. Luckily, for those who can see, this ignorant dying is not without its own glorious laughter track.

Wow. Just wow 😮

As an ocean scientist, I'm frankly amazed at the attention the dismantlement of OOI has gotten, while the removal of the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer (our only Antarctic icebreaker) and the failure to replace the JOIDES Resolution (our only scientific drilling ship) were met with near silence. 🌊

"Global temperatures are likely to continue at or near record levels in the next five years, with the annual average potentially reaching as high as 1.9C above pre-industrial levels, scientists have found.” (The Independent) #collapse

The wrath of God lies sleeping. It was hid a million years before men were and only men have the power to wake it. Hell aint half full. Hear me. Ye carry war of a madman’s making onto a foreign land. Ye’ll wake more than the dogs. PS. - Cormac McCarthy,  Blood Meridian

According to Reuters, NATO is assembling a force made up of three divisions totaling around 60,000 troops for possible military operations against Russia. The deployment is reportedly planned for areas in Estonia and Latvia bordering Russia and Belarus.

Canada turning red is the geopolitical version of your golden retriever finally biting you.

This result took 40 years to emerge. Not 3. Not 5. Not a funding cycle. Four decades. We’re trying to understand planetary systems with attention spans measured in quarters and election cycles.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has issued a stark warning of an unprecedented global energy shock expected by June, citing the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Another aspect of everything happening faster than predicted Main error: global warming will accelerate much more than predicted Too many feedbacks now becoming operational much faster than predicted Fun fact: collapsing coral reefs produce a GHG signal via harmful algae blooms #climate #earth

The ice loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet is hard to grasp! This is what the 30 million tonnes of ice that Greenland loses every hour looks like, if it were positioned next to the Eiffel tower before melting:

For Doomers, it is no big deal to contemplate planetary mortality. It is really just an extension of our own individual extinction. For others, it is incomprehensible. Whether this is a failure of intelligence or imagination is no longer of relevance. The hospice was always real.

Wow

Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is. 1/2

Breaking News! Code: Preliminary Mega-Yikes!!! Preliminary SSTs are spiking near a new record all-time high. The final data will take about 2 weeks to be posted. With the record ocean heatwave in the Eastern pacific and a rapidly developing El Nino, hang on to your tenterhooks!

'The planet’s climate system has turned erratic. Scientific reports… signal trouble ahead... It’s almost like the planet is regurgitating the anthropogenic (human) input of the past couple hundred years within two years, the biggest planetary vomit of all time.' www.counterpunch.org/2026/04/13/s...

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
