Without enforcement, what good is vision?.We already know what people do when ecosystems collapse: they keep taking. Until there are consequences, “dark fishing” will keep happening in broad daylight.

No single method tells the full story, but together—dendrochronology, ice cores, sediment layers, oral histories—they give us a remarkably consistent picture of where we’ve been, and where we’re headed.
@Race2Extinct Certain people say the tree rings from ancient cliff dwelling roof timbers show a severe drought 600-800 years ago which might have driven the Puebloans to move. Dendrochronology is fascinating but doesn't tell the whole story about climate.

A, B, & D are the engines of collapse. Everyone else is just a passenger.
I don't know who created this excellent diagram, but I would place myself as a "Deep Green Activist" (upper left). In other words, save everything else!. You?

27 million tons of nanoplastics now haunt the North Atlantic. It rains plastic. We drink it, bleed it, and breathe it. The question is no longer how bad it is, but how long we can endure it.

For years, scientists have struggled to solve the "plastic paradox"—the mystery of millions of tons of missing plastic.

Trees are on the move—chasing cooler air, climbing mountains, fleeing the heat. But with 8.2 billion people, there’s nowhere left to run. Just clearcuts, chainsaws, and roads to nowhere.

You’ve been duped by the chemical industry. Bioaccumulate is a thing. 2 million is the starter pack.
U are targeting the canoe rather than the Aircraft Carrier fleet. Chemical Pollution will kill thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. Big Oils Global warming will kill BILLIONS.

The EPA just proposed re-approving dicamba—again. It’s meant for 5M acres of crops (New Jersey-sized), but the drift harms plants, insects, birds, & bats miles beyond. Spray 5M acres, poison tens of millions—and wonder why there’s an insect apocalypse.
washingtonpost.com
The EPA announced Wednesday its plan to re-register dicamba, a herbicide widely used on soybean and cotton farms that has been banned twice by federal courts.

PFAS raise diabetes risk by 31%. They’re in our water, blood, and food—and the EPA is stalling. Combine that with rising heat, microplastics, and novel pathogens, and we’re way past safe. We’re biological. We have thresholds. And we’re crossing them.
dailymail.co.uk
Researchers from Mount Sinai looked at the link between PFAS - found in everything from non-stick cookware to food packaging to cosmetics - and the incidence of the condition.

A tree’s life is written in the swirls of floorboards—fire scars, drought years, chemical defenses against insects. We study the trauma, the growth, the resilience. But we refuse to call it sentient or see a being. Just grain. Just timber. Just ours.

Europe's petrochemical industry is unravelling under a wave of plant closures after years of losses and a rapid expansion of global capacity led by China.

Stupidity raises its ugly head.
@Race2Extinct @conway11b21 Being anti-alarmist doesn't pay very well, but being a climate alarmist on the other hand. You pay me enough I'll tell you what you want to hear as long as the money flows.

Our optimism isn’t rooted in reality. Often, it’s a form of emotional insulation — a way to stay connected, accepted, & functional. In the age of collapse, that kind of optimism becomes a quiet danger: individually protective, collectively destructive.

It turns out that ships aren’t just emitting CO₂ — they’re shaking methane loose from the ocean floor. The more we know, the more it feels like we’re living inside a badly-written satire. This was published in The Brighter Side News.😊🙃.

Ships stir methane trapped beneath shallow waters, releasing it into the air. A Swedish study finds these hidden emissions could be a major climate risk.
