The above is very depressing:

The Trump depression (and we don't mean the economy): Key symptom of autocratic regimes

Link to Salon article that says clinical depression is a common and widespread reaction to living under autocratic regimes.

Why the right’s usual smears don’t work on Greta Thunberg
She keeps the focus on science, and they hate it.

FORMER DEFENSE SECRETARY CHUCK HAGEL, TASK FORCE CRITICIZE GOVERNMENT FOR SUPPRESSING CLIMATE SCIENCE

https://www.newsweek.com/chuck-hagel...report-1464850

Quote:

"Our ability to keep the public safe and move the country forward economically rests, in large part, on government science and research. That foundational work is endangered by manipulation for political ends, and the ramifications are vast and should concern all Americans," Hagel wrote.

Hagel explained that insufficient climate change data is "a real and present threat to our national security," citing the danger abnormal storms pose to the military.
Maybe the idiot Repubes will finally listen, since it’s threatening National security.

Coal Knew, Too

A newly unearthed journal from 1966 shows the coal industry, like the oil industry, was long aware of the threat of climate change.

“Clean, beautiful coal!”

The Arctic may have crossed key threshold, emitting billions of tons of carbon into the air, in a long-dreaded climate feedback

https://www.washingtonpost.com/weath...mate-feedback/

It just gets more and more depressing, while Trumpkins continue to deny the facts.

What's behind IMPOTUS' nonsense on windmills and light bulbs

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/25/opini...chs/index.html

Electoral votes from coal-producing states, which have FAR too many electors for their tiny, ignorant populations.

‘We Knew They Had Cooked the Books’
The Trump administration’s attempt to kill one of America’s strongest climate policies has been a complete debacle.

https://www.theatlantic.com/science/...ebacle/606346/

Politicizing the science to please Big Energy. Putting our lives at risk.
