The world is facing a multi-year LNG glut. And despite very weak LNG consumption in Asia this year vs the optimistic predictions, Asia is still where all the LNG growth is expected.

So why is an Asian country choosing to use coal instead and export their gas as LNG?

A lot of $$ will be lost.

And the response of the plastics industry is......

....to massively ramp up plastic production

@climatenews.bsky.social Not enough rain in Seattle WA

I have been noticing as of late, many forecasts for rain, but when the day comes, nothing. Seems like the area above the heavily traveled interstate hghway 5 stays dry. Is automobile generated heat pushing away the rain.

Success stories including the leaf-toed gecko in the Galápagos, the wood white butterfuly in Wales and the corncrake in Ireland give hope

None of the republicans stand up because they view their position as a job and a source for ill gotten gains. They simply do whatever is necessary to get re-elected. The republicans are crooks and the Democrats are way to concerned about being PC, don't have a message, a strategy, nor a messenger.

Trump is Like Hitler. Defunding public broadcasting is another example. Just like Hitler burned books, Trump sees the truth and an informed society as a threat. Hope courts do the right thing and stop him. No one man should be able to shut down organizations that were established by congress.
