So we now officially have a lot less sea ice than any other previous year. Sea ice keeps our oceans and atmosphere cool. Sea ice loss is exponential and very hard to reverse. This is called a feedback loop. As oceans warm then more and more ice will melt meaning even warmer

Never ever use a company called Mosh in Australia. Total thieves with zero customer support. Our society has got to the stage where whenever you give someone your credit card you have to go in and delete any account straight away

Everything is so exponential. Here in Australia the environment is barely ever discussed and is not really an election issue. Both the 2 main parties have equal disregard for science or nature. Its a mess. By 2030 we will have a Blue Ocean event with no Arctic Sea Ice. This I

@willsommer Insecure, fascist dictators need big, expensive military parades on their birthday. Why should Trump be any different?

All of these stock markets worldwide are bubbles. Valued at around 3 times their real worth. The tariffs were the pin that pricked them. That means that even if the tariffs are removed, the air will still come out. It's unlikely that a pricked bubble can be unpricked.
