A decade-long global effort to save Earth’s disappearing species and declining ecosystems has mostly stumbled, with fragile habitats like coral reefs and tropical forests in more trouble than ever, researchers said in a report Tuesday.
If only we had more people competing for resources...

Well, that's grim news that indicates the current admin's level of concern about global warming.

And long term, this is how things are shaping up. From start to finish, the article is as depressing as the title suggests:-

The Pandemic didn't solve climate change. This weeks disasters are proof:- https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/18/w...ntl/index.html

On a related note, I think this is a good idea. Question is, who would fund it?

Q: Could we get rid of CO2 if we pumped it through a pipe into space?

How Many Plants Have We Wiped Out? Here Are 5 Extinction Stories

I know this may seem obvious for some but there’s been some confusion. The “We” in article’s title is referring to people who constitute the human population. It’s odd that I should have to point that out but we’re living in very odd times.

From about two weeks ago:

Quote:
Climate science denier appointed to top position at NOAA
David Legates, a longtime climate change skeptic, has been appointed by the Trump administration to help run the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the federal agency charged with producing "much of the climate research funded" by the government, The Washington Post reports.
Today:

Quote:
The chief of staff at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fired the agency’s acting chief scientist after the latter asked Donald Trump’s appointees to acknowledge NOAA’s scientific integrity policy, The New York Times reports. Craig McLean, the acting chief scientist at NOAA, sent an email last month to several new employees at NOAA who had been installed by the Trump administration requesting their acknowledgement of the agency’s rules that prohibit changing research and data to fit a political agenda. Dr. Erik Noble, the newly appointed NOAA chief of staff and a former White House policy adviser, wrote back, “Respectfully, by what authority are you sending this to me?” McLean said that his job as acting chief scientist entailed maintaining ethics across NOAA. Noble responded the next day, “You no longer serve as the acting chief scientist for NOAA. Thank you for your service.” In McLean’s stead, Noble hired Ryan Maue, a former researcher for a libertarian think tank. Maue has previously said scientists have made overly dire predictions about climate change.
Hurricanes are hoax! Fake news!

I know this old but it’s still astonishing. He extends the cone with a magic marker.



I honestly believe any previous president would have been impeached and removed from office on the grounds of incompetence and mental instability for that. With Trump it was like a half day news cycle. If Trump is re-elected I bet they’ll stop tracking hurricanes altogether. People on the Gulf Coast will claim hurricanes aren’t real even after their homes are destroyed. Think that’s ridiculous? We have people here who have lost a parent to covid and still call it a hoax. That’s the truth.
