Unless Ivanka or the inventor of the Egg McMuffin happens to be reading this, it’s a good bet Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit about you. If Trump could kill off half the country and still get reelected, there’s a good chance it’s all but certain he’d do that. So we’re probably not going to see…

Global Warming has shifted the 'major wind-driven ocean currents' poleward.
What have we done? A new study published in the Geophysical Research Letters has found that the vital role ocean circulation plays in our climate, weather, and marine life has shifted due to our warming planet. The study reveals for the “first time, independent satellite observational evidence demonstrating that the large‐scale ocean gyres are moving…
Climate breakdown shock – Ocean circulation is ramping up significantly due to global heating.
Faster than previously expected. Those four words are horrifying when it comes to describing the changes to our climate. We have been reading about these phenomena frequently lately and, they haunt with such dire consequences as increasing permafrost thaw, marine heatwaves, climate migration, increasing pressure on our food systems, to name just a few. Every…
Rand Paul worries about making planet habitable — but not our planet, of course
Rand Paul isn’t too concerned about climate change on Planet Earth, but to his credit he does think we need to start creating livable ecosystems elsewhere. I guess he thinks humanity is on a cosmic pub crawl, and since we’re about to wear out our welcome here, we need to find new and better floating orbs…
What Greta Thunberg knows that you might not: It’s easy to take a bite out of climate change
There’s a common belief reflected in popular culture and even “progressive” entertainment media that vegans are part of some ghoulish, otherworldly cabal disgorged from Satan’s viscera to rob our planet of joy. Lazy screenwriters often portray vegans as preachy, joyless, listless, pale, and weak. Similarly, vegan food is seen as tasteless, distastefully Spartan, or just plain…
Donald Trump says he plans to read a book on the environment (spoiler alert: it's about him)
Yeah, I’m fairly confident this is the goofiest shit you’re going to see and read today. (Second tweet) x Trump says he doesn't think global warming is a hoax (contradicting many of his past statements), then adds, “I want clear air, clean water” (which are not related to global warming) pic.twitter.com/ZgJyDLXOUy— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January…
Exxon-Mobil Australia does their best to win a “Tone-Deaf Tweet of the Year” award
In the middle of unprecedented bushfires, a wave that’s a direct result of global warming, which have been casting blood-red skies over major cities, destroying homes, taking people’s lives, and killed huge numbers of wildlife, including up to 30% of the koala population in New South Wales… Exxon-Mobil decided to tweet this: Stay safe and have fun…
Fox host upset that teen climate change deniers aren't famous, too
For the next few days, I’m going to apply the Barron Trump standard to anything conservatives say about Greta Thunberg, the young climate change activist who was just named Time magazine’s Person of the Year. Katie Pavlich says Greta Thunberg wouldn't be as famous if she was a climate change denier, its just a galactic…
Florida Considers Abandoning Roads and Homes to Rising Seas
http://www.miamiherald.com/… The Miami Herald reports that Monroe County Florida is considering abandoning low lying roads in the Florida Keys that will be extremely expensive to continually raise above the encroaching sea. While this might seem like a mostly local problem, it really brings home the cost of global warming–something that many dismiss as a problem for…
Pompeo's solution to climate change: 'Move to different places'
Seems conservatives have two responses to the existential threat of global climate change. The least-educated GOPsters, such as Donald Trump and the secret vault of clones Dick Cheney harvests his replacement organs from, choose to ignore it. Less-benighted Republicans (and we’re definitely grading on a curve here) downplay the crisis by pretending everything will work out…

http://www.nytimes.com/… Former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg said today he would give half a billion dollars in effort to close all coal fired US electric plants and promote renewable energy. The effort, named Beyond Carbon, will focus on local and state governments since the federal government headed by Donald Trump wants to increase…
