The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

"Major groundwater basins underlie roughly one-third of the planet ... Many of those aquifers took millions of years to form and might take thousands of years to refill. The researchers warn that it is now nearly impossible to reverse the loss of water 'on human timescales.'"
The continents are rapidly drying out and the earth’s vast freshwater resources are under threat, according to a recently released study based on 20+ years of NASA satellite data.
Here are the report’s key findings and what they portend for humankind.

8 Things to Know About New Research on Earth’s Rapid Drying and the Loss of Its Groundwater
Decades of NASA satellite data reveal how quickly the planet’s underground stores of fresh water have been depleted and how their use is contributing to rising sea levels. Here are the key takeaways.

🌍❄️ Glacier futures depend on climate targets
A new study finds that limiting warming to 1.5°C - rather than 2.7°C - could double global glacier preservation. Every 0.1°C matters: more ice lost, more sea-level rise.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.
