Another insurance whistleblower warns of climate risk: “the long-term effects will be compounded as insurers withdraw from entire regions, leaving the economy in freefall and people’s day-to-day lives in ruins.”
Time to wake up.

They have abandoned any pretense that any of this is non-political.

This is a big deal. No paths to climate safety remain, unless we end pollute-for-free. The only global price is EU CBAM carbon tariff — our last lifeboat. Australia, Canada, Mexico and others should negotiate admission. (California should get a waiver.)

As always in Trumpland: no conflict, no interest.
The reek of corruption is gagging the American public, but elected Republicans don’t dare utter a squeak.

Another rotten idea to help the war criminal.

Professor Shaw is exactly right, and a full accounting of how (and how badly) the Supreme Court has gone off course will emphasize the need for reforms like actual ethics review and proper term limits.

Oops. Little problem for Republicans: what’s driving the expanding home insurance crisis is climate change creating uninsurable risks, and their big fossil fuel donors forbid them to talk about that.
Hmmm. Does she join the Loomer/Taylor-Green “Hell hath no” furies? Gotta burn to be ousted for corruption by this crowd.
To paraphrase Pope Francis: “God always forgives; humankind will sometimes forgive; but Nature does not forgive. Slap her, and she will slap you back.”
Now comes the slap-back fossil fuel has caused.
Made in Rhode Island.

More and more, fossil fuel pollution is taking away the things and places people love. Who can put a price on that?

Trump is raising electricity costs by blocking low-cost clean energy, forcing grids to meet demand with high-cost fossil fuel units. Sucks for you; but Trump’s corrupt big fossil fuel donors make a bundle.
Yup.
“The bipartisan legislation, unveiled last week, represents the most aggressive response yet from Washington to data centers amid growing backlash over their energy and environmental impacts.”
Putin throws lifeline to try to save Trump in the midterms. In return, American dollars go to Russia and get put toward killing innocent Ukrainians. Trump/Russia right out in the open.

All money from your pocket into fossil fuel’s. Trump’s big corrupt donors are looting the country, and you.
