Oceans are absorbing the Earth’s excess energy. That’s bad news for food systems.

This is infuriating & actually fucking evil. At behest of Pete Hegseth, administration declares a bogus emergency, claiming national security (the US has plenty of oil) to exempt offshore oil drillers from endangered species protections.
