-For the first time that scientists can recall, sea surface temperatures that always recede from annual peaks are failing to do so, staying high-
Global warming and extensive overfishing have damaged ocean ecosystems well beyond recognition from only a few decades ago. Still, on its own accord, the ocean stood tall for over 3 billion years. But, alas, in less than one human lifetime it is teetering like never before, and... Read more

It’s Time for the Left to Assert Itself in the Mainstream Media
--Kim Scipes
Donald Trump is about as useless as a tastebud on an anus.
Anyone who has paid attention to the verdict in the E. Jean Carrol case and/or the CNN “townhall” on May 10 in New Hampshire knows that Trump is an inveterate liar; and that’s only if you hadn’t learned that over the past eight years or so.

New York City officials say that eating more fruits, vegetables, grains and beans—and less beef and dairy—can reduce carbon emissions. And so, Mayor Eric Adams has announced plans to encourage more plant-based eating by tracking purchases for household food consumption.
I applaud the mayor’s aim to reduce the City’s carbon emissions. I wonder if he’d consider... Read more

t would be strange if today the Gold’s Gym franchise began training paramilitary units across the United States — and even stranger if they were fighting for the Left instead of the Right. But at the beginning of the Civil War, the German Turner gyms did precisely that.

There are three types of such mining: taking deposit-rich polymetallic nodules off the ocean floor, mining massive seafloor sulphide deposits and stripping cobalt crusts from rock.

The ally industrial complex has been established by activists whose careers depend on the “issues” they work to address.
