Trump never met Miles Taylor, of course. Or maybe he met him once when he was delivering coffee. Or maybe he doesn’t exist. He’s an actor hired by the Fake News Media! Regardless, Taylor has been tearing Trump a variety of new assholes — of all shapes and sizes — over the past few days,…

Greenland ice cap melt has reached the point of no return.
Devastating and scary news from the Arctic as Greenland has reached the tipping point. The melting of our northern freezer which allows our civilization to flourish has reached the point of no return, even if we cut our emissions to zero. The tipping point is where snowfall “that replenishes the ice sheet each year cannot keep up…
Canadian ice caps disappear—glaciers in Italy and Greenland on the verge of collapse.
Canada’s last fully intact ice caps have disappeared NASA satellites confirmed. The two ice caps are in the Northeast of Ellesmere Island, near Greenland. The ice caps formed during the Little Ice Age, they have succumbed to the intense heat waves blanketing the Arctic over the past several years. From the National Snow and Ice Data…
The Second Trump term: selling Puerto Rico and buying Greenland, putting the “toxic” in assets
Few of you will recall my stories mocking the possibility of a Trump win in 2016, ostensibly because it was plausible to assume that HRC would win. This time more caution is necessary, since the same Trump deceit is happening like promising to support something DACA-like in a future executive order while still litigating its…
Siberia's record-breaking heat spreads across the Arctic kick-starting an early melt season.
There is no vaccine or hydroxychloroquine dosage that can stop an exceptional heating event happening in the Arctic. In Siberia, an intensifying heatwave threatens a disastrous melt season across the Arctic, once again. Summer is coming. We should brace ourselves for an ominous and dangerous summer of wildfire and powerful storms as intense ice melt and permafrost…
Enhanced solar absorption on Greenland is found to be a major driver of ice sheet calamity.
We have our hands full of worldwide contagion due to the incompetence of Donald Trump, Remember the same denial and sabotage of scientific facts that have led us to disaster with COVID is in overdrive at the White House when it come to dangers from climate change. What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the…
Rapid sea-level rise likely as Greenland ice-melt accelerates towards the worst-case scenario.
And what seems clear now is that Greenland is no longer changing in geological time. It is changing in human time. Jon Gertner, Yale Environment 360 …
'Like ice cream sliding off a piece of cake,' Greenland ice cap melts in a new and disturbing way.
“We have never observed an ice sheet behaving this way before. It’s unprecedented in human scientific history.” – Kristin Poinar, Glaciologist, University of Buffalo Greenland is, for the most part, a very moist environment (with the exception of northern Greenland which until recently had been a dry environment). The ice sheet works like a sponge…
Dorian, one of the most powerful and slow-moving storms on record, decelerated the Florida Current.
The Gulf Stream, if viewed from above, is a deep dark blue stream of ocean off the Atlantic coast of Florida. It has a clockwise system of currents which transports warm water from the tropics, up the US east coast according to Wiki. It crosses the Atlantic to northwestern Europe where when it reaches the…
'The chosen one': Now more than ever, the press needs to address Trump's manic instability
In a presidency marked by incoherent pronouncements and bizarre visions of grandeur, Donald Trump seemed to reach new, troubling heights last week. He referred to himself as “the chosen one.” He quoted a rabid conspiracy theorist radio host who declared that Israeli Jews love Trump as if he were the “King of Israel” and “the second…
Right Pitch, Wrong Strategist
I am sure my next few words may come as a surprise to many of you, but the President has a few good ideas; Correcting the imbalance with our foreign trade partners, specifically the Chinese, has bipartisan agreement. Extracting troops from 18 years of war in the Middle East would make even the far-left stand…
The “Everything Terrible Trump Has Done So Far” Omnibus (Week 135)
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. 1539. Forced workers to attend one of his speeches 1540. Threatened to label Antifa as a…
Updated: NRCC Fundraises Using T-Shirt of US with Greenland
This is being reported in several places, including Casy Tolan’s twitter feed (he’s a reporter in California, possibly free-lance), The Hill, and MSN. MSN reports that it appears the ad has been removed, and I couldn’t find it on the NRCC website. But the internet never forgets anything, and I was able to find the…
Premier of Greenland: Greenland considering buying America
According to the Danish newspaper Politiken, the Premier of Greenland (Kim Kielsen) is considering buying the US back. In a (clearly snarky) statement, Kielsen pointed out that Leifr “The Lucky” Eiríksson was the first European to settle America, and as a consequence Greenland has a prior claim on the country. “So it’s only natural for the Greenlandic…
Greenland's Inuit traumatized by the climate crisis; N. Atlantic Current slows due to melting
I am not sure if people realize the significance of the dramatic and probable, irreversible loss of Greenland's ice by warming oceans and atmospheric changes. Most of the time I feel a good majority simply don’t give a rat’s ass. Here is a tip for you, if you even bothered reading this far, start planning…

Loss of reflective Sea Ice will advance global warming to a catastrophic 2C within 25 years.
“Because the Arctic’s role in regulating the global climate is a critical link in the chain of climate protection it should be the focus of an all-out effort to keep it strong and safe,” Durwood Zaelke, preident of the Institute of Governance and Sustaninable Development. Scripps issues a code-red warning from climate scientists regarding the…

Greenland is on fire, again.
It’s bad and I can hear it now. Why didn’t anyone warn us? We have, of course, but Donald's distractions are nothing but click bait here, and we fall for it every single time. But go ahead and keep on keeping on helping the President play us along with the media, like a Stradivarius. Billions…
