Map of projected temperature anomalies next Thursday across the western U.S. from the ECMWF ensemble. The entire map is bright red and pink, indicative of extreme to record-breaking March warmth. Some location will be 25-30F degrees above average, with a few locations warming over 35F (!) above average.

All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.

Raging at Media, Pete Hegseth Just Said the Quiet Part Out Loud He wants β€œpatriotic” coverage of the Iran War. He doesn’t understand: in a democracy, coverage that asks difficult questions of the government is itself β€œpatriotic.”

Pete Hegseth wants to live in a world in which the US military can drop bombs on scores of children and face no serious media scrutiny for it. His vile claim that he can't wait for David Ellison to run CNN shows he pines for oligarchic control of media.

1/2 So, if the life and death impacts of economic decline are being swept under the carpet, what's happening with the "impact" of 4 billion deaths by the end of the century due to collapse of the biosphere Aditya?

Oh yeah.

It’s awesome and not at all predictable that the fascist movement that gained power by promising people they could be more selfish and worse versions of themselves have fucked things up so badly they’re now preaching sacrifice. Never seen this movie before.

You know what the Strait of Hormuz DOESN’T cut off?

Wind turbines. UBI. public transit. Taxing billionaires and redistributing it to the regular people who created that wealth. Solar panels. A plant based diet. Bike lanes.

Notice that those in power don’t know what to do and they’re incompetent. Notice there’s no opposition to those incompetent criminals.

This is on us. You and me. We have to act because we’re the adults in the room. That’s what a revolution is. That realization.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Budget cuts at Environment and Climate Change Canada threaten Arctic science For decades, ECCC research scientists have been integral to the work of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme.

Another blow to climate science: budget cuts at Environment and Climate Change Canada threaten long-running Arctic monitoring programs, some with >50-year datasets.

The Arctic is warming ~4Γ— faster than the global average. Cutting the science that tracks is…

Do you notice that the only images and reports of damage in the war are from Iran, with little to no images and reports of damage to Israel, nor to US bases and infrastructure? It's almost like they want people to think the damage is one-sided.
