Global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions rise again in 2024, up 2.3%.

This is our collective progress, 10 years after the Paris Agreement.

Yes of course! But good point. We need a better phrase. Ice cream sundae? Solar surplus? Hmmm.

Data. Evidence. Thank you Gina McCarthy. Gina McCarthy has been my hero for many years. I even gave her my first ReSister bracelet! She hasn’t slowed!. I needed this push from her today. As she says “pull up your big girl pants and get back to work!”https://apple.news/A4wnIVSnBRb25SfdRQ2BZwA

Very cool to see how the California power grid dealt with the solar eclipse today! Covered the gap in solar power with batteries, imports, and natural gas.

It turns out that it only costs $39 million a month to eviscerate federal government capabilities and bilk the American public 😤🤬
Funding Floodgates The Trump administration began funding DOGE soon after it took office. It started by tapping $750,000 from a White House fund for information technology initiatives in late January. Since then, the funding has ballooned; the most recent apportionment came on Feb. 8 and included a $14 million chunk described as part of a “software modernization initiative.” In all, ProPublica found, more than $39 million has been earmarked to DOGE in the Trump administration’s first month. For perspective, in recent years Congress had allocated around $50 million a year for the IT modernization initiative that DOGE supplanted, budget records show.

“A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.”

I was so shocked by this White House post that I asked Google Gemini AI whether it was real or fake. Gemini's 1st take -a resounding assertion the tweet was a spoof- is in the post below.

Gemini's reasoning is similar to what any normal human being would think after seeing such a sophomoric post.

Presidents often get too much credit - and blame - for what happens in the economy.

The Trump administration told researchers it was “releasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.
