"I tried to warn people. Except that the warning was not well received by everyone. A person accused me of being a “climate militant,” a suggestion that I’m embellishing extreme weather threats to drive an agenda. Another simply said that my predictions were “an exaggeration.”
But it wasn’t an exaggeration."
- John Morales, atmospheric and environmental scientist and a fellow of the American Meteorological Society

Good God, have people forgotten 2008?

Just curious as to the current status of the investigation into the ten million dollars in bundles of cash that President Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi gave to the Trump campaign.
You wouldn't think that would be something that the media would just forget about.
Or would they?
The environmental policies of the Biden Administration have spurred a surge in clean energy jobs and will save approximately 200,000 Americans’ lives in the coming decades due to reduced exposure to dangerous pollution. Nearly 3.5 million people now work in clean energy jobs in the United States, more than the total number of nurses nationwide, with over a million of these jobs located in the South.

Another woman killed by Trump and the Supreme Court.

Reflective people need time to examine the facts and correlate them with things they already know. They don't always know what to think about a thing that happens; they can see good and bad in most things, and think it's worthwhile to stop and calculate the difference. They spend a lot of time thinking about *how they think*, and the different ways in which slanted data and fallacious reasoning can produce wrong answers.
If you're reactive, all this seems weak, slow, and useless.
