Trump’s War With Iran Is Also a Climate War Fossil fuels are structurally embedded in modern warfare.

"At a time when civilization is hurtling toward irreversible climate breakdown, to overlook the climate consequences of three of the deadliest militaries on earth going to war would be journalistic malpractice."

Falling Amazon river flows trigger reality check at Belo Monte power plant Brazil bet big on a mega river dam using old data, but climate change is leaving its massive turbines high and dry.

Climate change could cut Amazon hydropower generation by up to 40%, studies warn, leaving dams like Belo Monte especially exposed.

Scientists say planning based on historic river flows no longer works as droughts intensify, though operators still call the plant strategic.

Newsom likens Israel to ‘apartheid state,’ questions future military support The California governor’s comments came as he promoted his new memoir in Los Angeles.

the "gradually and then all at once" structure of public opinion moves is a wild thing, and one way you know it's happened is when politicians of the moderate / poll-driven / cynical type jump in with takes that just recently were seen as provocatively ideological www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Fitch Downgrades Paramount After Warner Bros. Deal Announcement The $81 billion deal for Warner Bros. Discovery is highly complex and poses credit risks, Fitch Ratings said.

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status

Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now

Underrated just how much the US and Israel have been desecrating the very idea of diplomatic engagement by doing these obvious bait and switches.

This is the third time now that negotiations were used as cover to prepare for a war already decided. The lesson is to never speak to the US.

As Brazil moves to explode the deep, rocky river territory of the Lourenção Rocks, locals on the Tocantins River say the government’s refusal to recognize them as “impacted” excludes thousands of fishers from protections.
