If you’re more upset about Democrats reminding members of the military NOT to commit war crimes than you are about Republicans using the military TO commit war crimes, then congratulations, because you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

Current Composition of the Atmosphere, July 2025
By 2030 the atmosphere will have such a high concentration of greenhouse gases that the effective radiative forcing will be twice that of the pre-industrial era.

I managed to get a couple of decent images from Friday night’s aurora here in northern New Hampshire. Here is my favorite.

Denver has come out to see AOC & Bernie tonight.

But, IUPAT President Jimmy Williams just set the crowd alight

So when Thomas and Alito retire, the Shyte4Brains admin aka TheGuyFromSouthAfrica will nominate Cannon and Bondi.
Attorney General: Pam Bondi (former Trump impeachment lawyer, part of effort to overturn the 2020 election

Deputy AG: Todd Blanche (Trump’s criminal defense attorney)

FBI Director: Kash Patel (called for prosecutions of numerous Ds)

Deputy FBI Director: Don Bongino (leading 2020 election denier)
So the top law enforcement officers in the country are….

Attorney General: Pam Bondi

Deputy Attorney General: Todd Blanche (Trump’s criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor)

FBI Director: Kash Patel

Deputy FBI Director: Don Bongino

Dems must find a way to disarm President Musk’s Shitler Youth and get the appeals courts on our side.
Trump & Musk have somehow managed to frame recent events as a binary: Either you want to burn it all down, or you support the status quo
It’s a false choice, obviously. But Dems/Trump critics have done a poor job articulating that failure in logic and existence of option #3: actually fix things
Opinion | The GOP has somehow backed Democrats into defending the status quo
It’s not enough to oppose Trump’s destruction. Americans want change.

And composition of the atmosphere is approaching 2 x pre-industrial effective radiative forcings.

The final ERA5 temperature data are now in. 2024 was the warmest year on record. Thanks humans! 🔥

There is no sign of a reduction in emissions. Little has changed. By 2030 the atmosphere will have such a high concentration of greenhouse gases that the effective radiative forcing will be twice that of the pre-industrial era.

I have updated my re-analysis of NOAA's inventory of greenhouse gases, specifically its monthly updates to CO2, CH4, and N2O. See the data section for each gas. Worldwide, emissions are climbing. The one-time goal of 350 ppm is now almost unimaginable.
