This is such a great example of why you absolutely must understand disasters as political and correct anyone who says they are not.
“No one there considered the levee project to be political. On the contrary, it was a basic piece of public infrastructure created in a remarkable act of common purpose: Two city councils and two Native American tribes, Democrats and Republicans had worked together to create it.”

i’d rather we invest our time and energy and improving the ability to make flat pack modular mass timber pre-fabrication more cost-effective and viable than spend $ chasing dreams of 3-D printed concrete houses
General problem:
If I print buildings out of concrete that don't have to be built out of concrete (and in an unnecessary format, which needs more concrete infrastructure), i.e. the market for concrete is expanded, I end up with more emissions, even if the concrete is decarbonised somewhat.

Global warming reached an estimated 1.51°C in May 2025.

'If the 15-year warming trend leading up to then continued, global warming would reach 2°C by December 2036'

May was the first month below this trend in almost two years.

Global warming accelerated significantly!

If you want to do something small today to help the climate then start using this trick to avoid using the Google AI search which is extremely low quality and destroys the environment through extreme energy use.
I use udm14.com which routes your search to Google plus a term which switches off the "AI"; who knows how long it will keep working.

Anti-ICE protests do not “turn violent.” They begin with the inherent violence of ICE.

Without serious cuts to CO₂ emissions, ocean acidification will only get worse, threatening marine life, food security, and the health of our planet.

It’s the climate crisis’s ‘evil twin’, and it’s accelerating.

Is it at least an eye-opener to some how captured and corrupted our biggest media outlets are, even or especially the public ones?
#genocide and state #terrorism are made possible by a media turning a blind eye or derailing the story by spreading the lies of the perpetrators.
Do not obey in advance.

Trump’s use of Title 10 to federalize and deploy National Guard troops in Los Angeles is a dangerous escalation and part of his push toward turning the U.S. into a police state. My write-up on what that means and how we respond in today’s piece, link in the replies.

No one should be surprised when a planet that accumulates heat more than twice as fast starts to see temperatures go up more than twice as fast.

This isn't rocket science, but we do need more of these NASA satellites. 🌍🛰
