I'm interrupting my hashtag games to address the lead-off #RachelMaddow began her show with--you know, the business about the voter's vote as a business decision. She ticked off all of Trump's business failures and all of Biden's successes in market terms, but she left out the profiteering part of Bidenomics attached to Israel's war and Russia's war against Ukraine.

Biden was correct to point out that those billions approved for the defense of Ukraine and now Israel is money going to our own military industry. But they're also responsible for dumping pollution into the air. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

Meteorologists tracking the advance of Hurricane Milton have been targeted by a deluge of conspiracy theories that they were controlling the weather, abuse and even death threats, amid what they say is an unprecedented surge in misinformation as two major hurricanes have hit the US.

A series of falsehoods and threats have swirled in the two weeks since Hurricane Helene tore through six states causing several hundred deaths, followed by Milton crashing into Florida on Wednesday.

The extent of the misinformation, which has been stoked by Donald Trump and his followers, has been such that it has stymied the ability to help hurricane-hit communities, according to the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema).

The collapse in #British #butterfly populations is a “warning from nature” about the resilience of the UK’s #ecosystems, says #England’s #nature chief, raising concerns about threats to national #food security as the planet continues to heat.

Half of Kew Gardens tree species at risk of death owing to climate crisis

#Botanical gardens lost 400 trees during 2022 drought, prompting research into potential loss in coming decades

Founded in 1840, #Kew #Gardens says it houses the largest botanical collection in the world.

During the drought of 2022, the botanical gardens in south-west London lost 400 of its trees. Scientists at Kew decided they should map and chronicle the climate risk to the trees to see how many could feasibly be lost to the changing weather in the coming decades.

Our wars add greenhouse gases by the tons.

EU climate service: Earth records 12 straight months of record high temperaturesBy Clyde Hughes, UPI

July 8 (UPI) -- "June 2024 was hotter than any June previously on record, leaving people exposed to life-threatening temperatures and more extreme weather, the European Union's #Copernicus #ClimateChange Service said Monday.

"Copernicus researchers found that temperatures worldwide each month for the past 12 months were 1.5 degrees Celsius greater than the average before the #preindustrial age.

"The report said temperatures in Europe were higher on average than in the southeast regions. It added the countries and regions with the hottest temperatures outside of #Europe were eastern #Canada, the western #UnitedStates, western #Mexico, #Brazil, northern #Siberia, the #MiddleEast, northern #Africa, and western #Antarctica.

"'Even if this specific streak of extremes ends at some point, we are bound to see new records being broken as the climate continues to warm,' said Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, according to The Guardian.

"'This is inevitable unless we stop adding greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the oceans.'

"The report said its review of the oceans, air temperatures were higher than average in the #AtlanticOcean and #IndianOcean along with most of the #PacificOcean. Temperatures were below average in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean and smaller regions around the world, like the Bering Sea.

"Copernicus uses measurements from various sources, including airplanes, weather stations, ships and satellites to capture vital climate information worldwide.

"'This is not good news at all,' said Aditi Mukherji, the co-author of the newest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 'We know that extreme events increase with every increment of global warming and at 1.5 degrees Celsius, we witnessed some of the hottest extremes this year.'"

A wax sculpture of Abraham Lincoln in Northwest DC has melted due to the heat....🥵Quote from the artist Sandy Williams to the Intelligencer:

"I previously had joked that when our climate gets bad enough to where we are living in an environment where the ambient heat melts these sculptures, that’s when this work becomes an environmental artwork. I didn’t know that was going to be this summer."

Cognitive dissonance and the history of people lying to themselves about impending (or present) disaster

Lying to Ourselves at The End of The World

Why the denial keeps getting worse.

Thanks to @Cass M for pointing this in my direction.

FTA: ... All this research tells us that as things get worse, so will the ferocity of the denial, both personal and institutional.

The article is insightful and informative. And it's not all gloom and doom. Toward the end, the author offers suggestions for coping and maybe even making a difference.
