Won't be spoken about enough. Trump's government's changes to scientific research and data collection programs are now literally killing people, as well as costing money for losses that could be mitigated with the right warnings/preparedness.
“The forecast for the powerful and deadly storm that battered small communities in western Alaska over the weekend was likely made worse by a lack of weather data triggered by the Trump administration’s cuts.”

"Polanski slammed” reports the Daily Express. The person doing that “slamming” is, err, Daily Express journalist Carole Malone.
And the reason? Because I want us to follow a science led public health approach to regulate drug use.

It says something about how distorted political debate has become is in the UK that you almost never hear a frontline politician talking seriously about harm reduction with drugs yet almost everyday a frontbencher from a national party will make a barely concealed racist claim about immigration.

We know what needs to be done. Our economic system forces us to limit action, to protect companies profit. We need to change the system.

Sense talking. Handing our problems to a thibking machine 'big daddy' but we humans still need to actually DO - with the resources in hand. (Less those needed by AI)
Fukuyama debunks the AI abundance myth: we can't feed or clothe all not due to a lack of smarts, but priorities and resources.
The world simply can't sustain the abundant lifestyle AI proponents promise, lacking even the electricity to run the very AI they favor.

Ancient woodlands need intervention to survive & thrive.
Humans put these ecosystems at risk & humans can protect & help return them to their former glory (and they are utterly glorious!)
How can you help?
Sponsor charities like Protect Earth & join us at events.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This is unbelievable.
The high temperature at one of Finland’s northernmost weather stations, in the municipality of Sodankylä (Lapland region) within the Arctic Circle at latitude 67.3°N, reached at least 25°C for 26 days in a row.
Records date back to 1908.
