@TonyStark And breakfast too. Every child that goes to school should have the opportunity to receive 2 hot meals every day.

I absolutely love this. On Truth Social, Donald Trump now promotes the conspiracy theory, that the US government staged the January 6 attack.

So somehow the deep state was able to get Trump to rally the crowd, fire them up with lies and instruct them to go down to The Capitol and “fight like hell”.

I have to know more — was Trump a victim of hypnosis?

I’ve gotten quite a few follows lately from folks with private accounts. I will never request to follow someone as I believe it defeats the whole purpose of social media.

@Huntn00 the level of grist going on in our society is probably worse than the late 1800s and early 1900s in the days of the #RobberBarons except with the added twist that we’re all going down the ecological shitter, and apparently, headlong into oblivion. Which the earth will survive, but we will not.

@Huntn00 one other thing I will say, is that, in my work in the public sector, and seeing the goings-on that I do, I’ve noticed that most of the recycle that people think they’re putting into the proper bins, goes right into the trash, and isn’t recycled at all

@Huntn00 I’m reading a really interesting yet enraging book called They are the Plunderers’s. It’s very hard for me to want to finish because it makes me so goddamn angry how far down we’ve gone in the society. But it is an excellent book.

@Huntn00 I think what needs to be done, at least one of the multiple things that needs to be done, is we need to get rid of private equity firms, and we need to revamp our particular form of #VampireCapitalism.

Instead of companies I think that these fossil fueled extreme weather events should be named after the people who helped to make them happen like for example, the Rex Tillerson Heat Wave and the Frank Luntz Flood.

The current El Niño is coming on strong. Much stronger and far more quickly, in fact, than most researchers expected.

From a report by the BBC...
_______________________________

Scientists already fear some worst-case scenarios are unfolding.

"I'm not aware of a similar period when all parts of the climate system were in record-breaking or abnormal territory," said Dr Thomas Smith, an environmental geographer at London School of Economics. "If I'm surprised by anything, it's that we're seeing the records broken in June, so early in the year. El Niño normally doesn't really have a global impact until five or six months into the phase."

The average global ocean temperature has smashed records for May, June, and July. It is approaching the highest sea surface temperature ever recorded, which was in 2016.

The area covered by sea-ice in the Antarctic is at record lows for July. There is an area around 10 times the size of the UK missing, compared with the 1981-2010 average.

Alarm bells are ringing for scientists as they try to unpick the exact link to climate change.

Dr Caroline Holmes at the British Antarctic Survey emphasises it is not just a record being broken — it is being smashed by a long way.

"This is nothing like anything we've seen before in July. It's 10% lower than the previous low, which is huge," said Holmes. She calls it "another sign that we don't really understand the pace of change."

"You can say that we've fallen off a cliff, but we don't know what's at the bottom of the cliff here," said Holmes. "I think this has taken us by surprise in terms of the speed of which has happened. It's definitely not the best case scenario that we were looking at — it's closer to the worst case."
