That funny dot was deliberate; on most browsers, it bypasses the paywall.
I've changed it out for a gift link now that one is available, since that seems to cause fewer problems for people.
Alpine glaciers around the world were advancing as recently as 1990. Now they’re melting fast.
Yes, I've been posting about the broader threat too.
The largest public bankroller of projects to help countries fight climate change has an enormous accounting gap, according to Oxfam.
Fore sure — but this is a climate community, so I'm talking about that.

To be fair, Trump is almost a quarter century older than Hitler was when he killed himself.
Miriam and Benny Saladin were set to retire in Manville, N.J. But their home was located between two rivers, and in more than two decades, their house flooded three times.
The heavy metals don't sit around in metal form; bacteria convert them into compounds like ethyl mercury, which don't stay put even if nominally insoluble.
And yes, pretty much anything else is cheaper than CCS; it's basically being run as a PR exercise rather than something which is a serious attempt at reducing emissions.
Thanks for that.
You can still volunteer
An opposition research group appears to be trying to undermine a lawsuit that accuses oil companies of causing a deadly heat wave in Oregon.
Vice President Kamala Harris said on Wednesday it is “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous” that former President Donald Trump invoked Adolf Hitler while he was president…
It's very much a reiteration and amplification of those views, and connecting them to the worldwide far-right movement, to try and keep the fascists out of power.
Floods that killed more than 1,000 people this year across Africa’s Sahel region will become a regular occurrence because of climate change, according to scientists collaborating under the World Weather Attribution initiative.
Rain has so far been ignored in calculations of the ocean’s capacity to take up carbon, but a new estimate shows it enhances the ocean sink by 5%–7%.
The paper is here
Helene and Milton, the two massive hurricanes that just swept into the country — killing hundreds of people, and leaving both devastation and rumblings of political upheaval in seven states — amounted to their own October surprise. Not that the storms led to some irredeemable gaffe or unveiled some ...
If you want to get involved in preventing another Trump presidency, with all the harm that entails, then get involved
One of the most consequential initiatives on the Washington state ballot this year is Initiative 2117. We get two perspectives on the measure, which, if approved, would undo the state's landmark climate law.
It's pretty clear that there were multiple incidents while he was in office
> As interest in climate intervention, or geoengineering, rapidly grows in the urgency to address climate change, this Ethical Framework provides guidance for researchers, funders, and policymakers.
I would too, but they have almost a 100% failure rate when it comes to actually going into operation:
Per the article, somebody tried telling Trump this:
According to Baker and Glasser, Kelly explained to Trump that German generals “tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off.” This correction did not move Trump to reconsider his view: “No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him,” the president responded.
I'll be doing that for sure — I've got a bunch of highly competitive local races that I care about.
the former permafrost becomes bog land
This can happen
the methane sink release will ignite the atmosphere.
This is a bunch of words, but not something that we're actually facing.
The permafrost wasn't so much a methane sink, as a place where carbon got stored. When it warms up, the decay process can generate methane, which can then be released. Under some limited conditions, you can actually even burn it when released from natural sources like this, but that's not usually what happens — it just floats off into the atmosphere.
The atmosphere as a whole will not ignite.
- Western nations aren't funding people to work in Russia.

Yeah, those of us living outside swing states are basically limited to kicking in money and volunteer time. I'm lucky in that I was able to catch a bus to a swing state this past weekend, and spend a couple days knocking on doors.
To the contrary: people have shifted to having to travel long distances or get pills through the mail without local medical support.
In some states (eg: Idaho) these are substantially inaccessible.
Maybe I'm confused. In any case, I don't think i can buy them locally anymore.
It's not a bad thing to have as a backup for a condom; the main issue is that some of the spermicides increase HIV transmission risk, so you typically don't see condoms with spermicide in the lube anymore.
It's not about understanding — it's about making nice with people who wish the South had won.
It's not about "man up" — it's about having the votes in Congress to do it. We didn't have that in 2009, when we last tried, and I'd be surprised if we have them now
