FYI:
In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

Greenland has become a place of interest because its ice sheet is being melted by a "hoax".
MAGA is not based on logical thinking. It is based on greedy billionaires and ignorant nillionaires.

Just a few things I'd like to say about this @hausfath.bsky.social piece.
The first is that every 10th of a degree of heating over 2C raises risks for multiple irreversible catastrophes MORE than every 10th of a degree of heating under 2C.
That's why the 2C target exists. It's not random.

I can't create new cartoons at the moment because I'm blissfully away in Spain, largely ignoring the news.
But, if you need one - just replace a country in these with Venezuela, Cuba or Mexico and you'll get the idea

We were sent an election leaflet from
Reform on Tuesday. It came with a stream of horrible xenophobia - and a pre-paid envelope. We’ve replied with a message: “Never contact us again”. That way, Reform has to pay the postage. Please share and share again!
