Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Just to be clear, when/if someone says the reconciliation bill the GOP has been debating in the dark of night won’t add to the debt and deficit, that’s a knowing lie.

Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption.

Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.

A Trump exec order bans almost 300 words from being used by federal agencies, the military and any org that receives federal funds. These kinds of "editorial" decisions were popular in Germany in the early 30s.

Visiting a park this year? Bring your own trash bag to help!
#AltCitizen USFS looms if further firings happen:

“Bring a trash bag, pick up trash. Bring a couple so you can double bag it. Bring gloves or a grabber or something, hand sanitizer, and don't leave it at the trailhead. You've got to bring it all the way home and throw it away in your own trash…”
Reduced staff in national parks and forests will likely mean rougher conditions on trails, and longer search and rescue response times. But the public can help out.
