Days ago, a Mastodon user posted how happy he was that google had added a "Web" search to google after long work. And its there, it bypases AI and if you hit "Web" instead of search, it bypasses AI, by adding &udm=14 to the search.

But now its been "leaked" as a trick.

I feel eloborately manipulated.

"Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good"

#Climate heat killing animals, falling dead out of trees.
30 billion 🇨🇦trees burned to the roots in half a year.
Brazil has both evacuations in flooding and a third of the rainforest threatened by drought.

CO2 levels and resultant heat are as PREDICTED
BUT the CONSEQUENCES of CO2 levels are DEVASTATING and rising.

People feel warned that "coast lines would change" not 3 CENTURIES worth of lost trees, smoke choking out cities at 1000 miles.

Not HEAT DEATH

Alarms have rung, build it all.

WHERE are Canada's offshore wind-farms? Where are the kilometres and miles of solar? Which roofs have federal granted solar on them?

Where is the New Energy?

Canada is JUST EXPANDING OIL.
$35 Billion 👉 NOT on The New Energy,
👉 but for oil.

Trudeau must RESIGN.

A Challenger must ARISE.

"More than third of Amazon rainforest struggling to recover from drought"

‘Critical slowing down’ of recovery raises concern on forest’s resilience to ecosystem collapse

weakening resilience raise concerns the world’s greatest tropical forest, biggest terrestrial carbon sink, is degrading to a point of no return - human-disrupted #climate - intense strains- dying of dehydration.

The urge and drive and commitment to act, to push harder, to move directly to solutions on CLIMATE chaos, has never been higher.

And frustration has never been higher. Are we moving forward, how can we tell, where is the OAR I can pull, which direction do we shove.

Stopping climate collapse IS ending the injection of CO2, by REPLACING Carbon energy utilities and devices. Building the new wind and solar energy.
Now.

CO2 Redundant: Un-used, un-needed, underground.

Write this law, no AI no crypto un;less you build new renewables to power the electricity demand.

Not a credit, not an agreement with a forest, not some weird contract where penguins dont die in exchange for footprint shoes, just build it.

New project, gigawatts, terawatts.

Build it.

Building New Energy is THE ONLY measure in fighting climate.
The ONLY measure. Build it all, now.

These are wonderful facts and figures, that prove the _direction is right, _toward solutions.

Biden's economy gives the UAW power to END two tier contracts. Ford new hires, formerly below standard wage, got a raise of 176% and equality.

And fairness WORKS, billionaires taxed, and economy soars, that's the Biden economy: 👉 Fairness WORKS GANGBUSTERS.👈

FDR got elected President four times building an economy like Biden's.

Biden is on a great road to solutions, lets help/

The Bottom Line.

Biden cancelled Republican trillion dollar tax gift to corporations.

Biden ADDED a trillion dollar tax to UN -TAXED giant sloppy rich corporations.

Biden has the lowest unemployment in history.

Biden just Broke the Dow Jones Index.

And 41 months of adding More Jobs Every Month.

Some BS (bovine fecal) AI accounts say there isn't enough land for solar.

Solar, which has fallen in price 98.7% What once cost 'dinner for two with candles and three courses,' now costs 'light bulb,' is so efficient-

How efficient is it?

Solar is so efficient, solar collectors on half the world's roofs, just on the roof, is MORE ELECTRIC ENERGY THAN WE USE, world wide.

World wide.

Build it all now, stop pouring money into the tar pit.

Europe just made pretending you are green with "carbon offsets" illegal.

Trudeau's entire climate program is carbon offsets.

[ "I will plant 2 billion trees!" Trudeau promised/boasted in the year before climate burned 30 billion trees in 6 months ]

Europe made that claim illegal because "carbon offsets" is a lie, like Net Zero.

No more carbon can be burned,
build carbons replacement right now.

Build it. Right now.

Novel Attack Against Virtually All VPN Apps Neuters Their Entire Purpose

" . . Neuters Their Entire Purpose"

Researchers have discovered a new attack that can force VPN applications to route traffic outside the encrypted tunnel, thereby exposing the user's traffic to potential snooping or manipulation.

This vulnerability, named TunnelVision, is found in almost all VPNs on non-Linux and non-Android systems.

"Tesla announces fourth round of layoffs in four weeks"

Just saw a question on Jeopardy, now you know too much about me, that is really quite shameful.

"Anger at the christian converts & foreigners spurred this 1900 uprising in China."

Answer, The Boxer Rebellion.

Lots of folks think the Chinese always smoked opium.
They didnt, opium wasnt a Chinese problem.

The British brought military fleets of conquest and opium, from India TO China.

China tried to end British opiun for decades, the boxer rebellion is just one.

We all deserve good news, here is a real good chunk.

When Germany closed its nuclear plants the loud catcalls of defeat said that this means more coal, more carbon.

The good news? Germany built, is building Renewables, and its CHEAP.

The thin yellow line is renewables, look at it SOAR.

And carbon fuels are falling across the board.

Bravo Germany, BRAVO.

Far right broken person serving as governor says the puppy had it coming, at fourteen months it was going go bad eventually, probably.

These are actual governor words. "Cricket" is the puppy's name.

“The fact is, South Dakota law states that dogs who attack and kill livestock can be put down. Given that Cricket had shown aggressive behavior toward people by biting them, I decided what I did,” Noem said.

On Pluto, which is badly treated, for no reason, lost its status as a planet.

But Pluto is special, not just a moon sized body in a cluttered yard.

Pluto is two moon sized bodies in a cluttered yard.

Pluto was either born with a sister, or married to, Charon. Charon doesnt orbit Pluto, they are too close and too equal in size, they orbit each other.

Pluto is a binary planet.

I hope we can all agree this is good for both camps.

Pluto is a binary planet.

Be nice...
