AI is the serial killer icing on top the climate mass murder cake

The Democratic Shutdown Capitulation: A Perfect and Unnecessary Failure

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024.

This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year.

If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.

Schumer (and other geriatrics like Angus King and Shaheen) sincerely believes that he can't stop Trump, so he thinks anyone who wants him to try to win a negotiation is mistaken. His belief is self-fulfilling!

At the same time, he's not willing to stand aside to let someone else take the lead.
Short version:

Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet.

Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care

Trump: No

Schumer: Okay

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
