Excellent article by Sharon Lerner. Long, but reads fast like intrigue fiction (but 100% true).

> After the late ’70s, when 3M scientists established that the chemical was toxic in animals and was accumulating in humans, it produced millions of pounds per year.

> all people have at least one forever chemical in their blood, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

During a flyover on March 15 this year, Indigenous organizations and Ministry of Culture officials observed evidence of drug production and trafficking activity inside the Kakataibo Indigenous Reserve.

They found three clandestine landing strips, one of them located in the center of the reserve, as well as large patches of deforested areas in the middle of the rainforest, some of them planted with illegal coca crops.

As El Niño and climate change bring drought to the northern Philippines, farmers say the value of local heirloom seeds shines through.

Farmers say these seeds, cultivated through generations, show greater resilience to drought and heat than commercial hybrid seeds promoted by the government.

A network of seed savers, spearheaded by rural women, is working to revitalize the traditional practices of saving seeds.

If you needed another reason to be wary of : He's recently allied with Ron DeSantis in attacking lab grown meat.

There's no rational reason to hate lab-grown meat besides traditionalism, but plenty of reasons to attack - it's bad for the , animals are kept in horrible conditions, the government subsidizes it...

Fetterman even chooses a strangely Trumpian insult too: "Crash and Burn Ron."

Lunacy from the Cato Institute

https://www.cato.org/publications/superabundance-free-exchange

I read it so you don't have to….

'Humans, especially those living in the countries on the frontier of innovation, create knowledge that allows us to grow our resources well in excess of the resources that we consume.’

It is laughable, but expect the ‘arguments' to be repeated by right wing politicians everywhere.

Danger so severe it threatens life is present

Truly amazing record run of renewable energy carrying 100% of California’s grid for portions of the day:

43 straight days — and 67 out of 73 days — where clean energy exceeded 100% of demand.

5th largest economy on the world, 39 million people and over a million EVs on the road here.

Right now renewables are producing 103% of demand and it’s 3:30pm here. It’s just amazing and should bring immense hope around the world!
