Every Colorado River state is still pursuing economic growth. The conflict isn’t between states. It’s between a finite river and the assumption that growth can remain infinite. We can print unlimited money. We can’t print another Colorado River.

I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter. Looks like we won't be getting any more data for Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume for a while from PIOMAS. See: psc.apl.uw.edu/research/pro...

Alex Pretti was a VA nurse. Trump's fascist thugs murdered him for trying to help a woman stand up after being attacked. If our government is willing to lie about murdering a government employee who cared for our veterans, then they won't hesitate to lie when they murder you next.

What happened to only a single species on St Matthew Island is happening to many species at the same time on another island today. Islands are fun cases studies because they are finite 🌍 🦌 -> 🐞 -> 🧍
#Extinction. How does it work? 1. Population is too small. Die off due to lack of reproduction & inbreeding. 2. Population is too big. Resources are overused & can't grow back in time. Competition destroys last resources. #Overpopulation case study: Reindeer on St. Matthew Island

We've added 4.2 million new humans since 01.01.2026 🎉 A single human needs 1,000-4,000m2 for #food depending on diet (vegan to Standard American Diet). 4.2 million X 2,000m2 = 8,330 km2 or 833,000 ha in 19 days. There isn't much primary #forest left and yet we break new deforestation records.
We have added 4.2 million new humans since 01.01.2026 🎉 A single human needs between 1,000-4,000m2 for #food depending on diet (vegan to Standard American Diet). 4.2 million X 2,000m2 = 8,330 km2 or 833,000 ha in 19 days. Where does this "new" food land come from? What will happen next? #Water?

There's a dizzying array of disasters coming in, and I'm well aware that this is just the warm-up phase. I do yearn for the time when man's machines fall quiet - bit there'll be some fraught and frantic times before that happens. The end of the world is messy and loud.

Last month's total #Arctic sea ice volume averaged the 2nd lowest on record for the month of May. This was about 38% below 1979 levels and 24% below the 1979-2024 May average. More at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i.... Data from PIOMAS. 🌊

Scientists are stunned that Earth’s energy imbalance is rising faster than expected. Maybe it’s time we admit: we don’t understand what we’re doing—and we never did. Only our arrogance is constant. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...
