In 2025, broadcast TV climate coverage plummeted for the 3rd year in a row.
2022: 23 hours
2023: 17 hours - 📉25%
2024: 12 hours, 51 minutes - 📉25%
2025: 8 hours, 25 minutes - 📉35%
But hey, it's not like 2023, 2024, & 2025 were the 3 hottest years in recorded history by a lot. Nothing to see here!
Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.
Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.
The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
Abominable reporting from NYT on this in their “live updates” on Iran.
“still investigating whether it was a U.S. airstrike”
“most of whom were likely children”
Noncommittal, uninformative, and vile. There was already a funeral for the GIRLS MURDERED IN THIS STRIKE, and the NYT is just NYT-ing
The Crook-In-Chief robs the US of $1.6 BILLION with his (paid for) pardons alone. That's only so far and he's only getting started.
Good thing Trump keeps Chinese cars out of the country, otherwise we would be able to buy better cars at lower prices www.fastcompany.com/91503415/byd... As Trump always says, "why pay less?"
Democratic party: we must spend billions to find out what the people want.
The people: (loudly and clearly, through the very process the Democratic Party set up) We want this.
Democratic party: we must spend billions to fight this.
Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.
The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.
The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.
Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.
“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me
The public and commentators need to stop thinking about "wars for oil" as about securing oil for the U.S., it's been decades since that was a motivator. "Wars for oil" are instead about securing oil for oil companies, securing a fossil fueled global economy, and denying oil's wealth to "enemies."

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.
They just like killing people.
The state of the union address was like 72 hours before the US and Israel chose to attack Iran’s capital and call for regime change, and Trump did not even mention his policy toward Iran before Congress, much less ask for a declaration of war.
These attacks are illegal, insane, and immoral. The power to declare war lies with Congress and they must act to block this immediately.

Great ROI on Melania bribes and tanking WaPo
Dem focus group at NYT
The rise of the far right is not a problem unique to the US. Our elite impunity problem, however, seems to be on an order of magnitude worse than a lot of our peers.
Children have spent more time in prison than the child abusers named in the Epstein Files.
Charles Koch built the neoliberal economic propaganda and climate denial machine, including the Heritage foundation, Project 25 and the Atlas Network. This is very much his victory, intellectual and strategic. Musk and Trump are simply doing his grunt work.

Everything is for sale.
Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.
Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.
