New science warns Africa’s forests, once removing ~20% of global carbon, are now becoming net carbon emitters due to deforestation and land-use change, widening the emissions gap threatening Paris Agreement goals.

Are rainforests now a cause of, rather than the answer to, climate change?
Study finds Africa’s forests, responsible for one-fifth of global carbon removal, are now generating carbon instead.

www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
![From the NSS: Energy Dominance – Restoring American energy dominance (in oil,
gas, coal, and nuclear) and reshoring the necessary key energy
components is a top strategic priority. Cheap and abundant energy will
produce well-paying jobs in the United States, reduce costs for
American consumers and businesses, fuel reindustrialization, and help
maintain our advantage in cutting-edge technologies such as AI.
Expanding our net energy exports will also deepen relationships with
allies while curtailing the influence of adversaries, protect our ability
to defend our shores, and—when and where necessary—enables us to
project power. We reject the disastrous “climate change” and “Net
Zero” ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the
United States, and subsidize our adversaries. <last sentence emphasised by me]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kwttqrd6vwu4dhnyqhx5akpp/bafkreif2pnod56qjhkm6slgkyu4hqzdmsoqv5bxbzixog7npg77rzjj644@jpeg)

Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

Democrats should have no reservations about calling them out for it, demanding resignations from these bought-off hacks and running on a promise to enact sweeping reforms.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
