We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future.

A future marked by scarcity and disaster.

A future these people are accelerating.

That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality.

Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.

So the management of Canada Post are simultaneously claiming that they need to shrink the service because its losing money, while promising to keep the aspect of it that guarantees to be the biggest money loser going forward.

It remains wild to me how adamant the public broadcaster seems to be that Canada Post be whittled down and ultimately privatized, with no seeming realization that same pressure will eventually come for the CBC too if it succeeds with the postal service.

24 years of satellite data reveal a dynamic, cyclic pattern of ice shelf damage across Antarctica.

Damage, linked to flow acceleration, strain, and thinning, shows strong sensitivity to climate warming, suggesting current models may underestimate future retreat.

Damage development on Antarctic ice shelves sensitive to climate warming - Nature Climate Change
Damages such as crevasses or cracks can be early indicators of ice shelf weakening. Here, the authors quantify changes in damage structures in Antarctic ice sheets, which show sensitivity to warming
