Repost from @resistancerangers.bsky.social on IG- I know we're about to declare war with Iran, and there are so many fronts to this continuing shitzkrieg, but this one, this right here, hurts my little raccoon soul most. For the love of all that's green and blue, keep calling.

My two cents: we don’t abandon the Democratic Party. We remake it. It’s a good party. It just has bad leadership.

New post on The Climate Brink from Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social about our climate future. With current policies, we’re on track for a bit less than 3C, with 2030 NDCs we’re on track for about 2.5C, and with net zero pledges we’re on track for a bit less than 2C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

This graphic gives the 12-month running average for Mauna Loa CO₂ since 1959, with a quadratic trendline (in red).
An R² of 0.9995 is overwhelming evidence that atmospheric CO₂ growth is accelerating. And at present, CO₂ is above the trendline!

As a reminder, land areas (where we live) are warming around twice as fast as the oceans. Subsequently, most of us are 'experiencing' temperatures rising faster than the global mean record.
