#AcceleratingKeelingCurve and #DeterioratingCarbonSinks haven’t cared who is president since the 50s: Beryl’s strength and rapid intensification were unusual for a storm so early in the season.

César Ipenza, a Peruvian environmental lawyer and outspoken critic of the recent legislative action, told Mongabay this will “benefit actors who have previously failed to comply with the requirements demanded in the forestry law, weakening the protection of forests and environmental management, ignoring the #RightsOfIndigenousPeoples and encouraging new #deforestation.”

#TaxBillionairesOutOfExistence: A year ago, the attorney general’s office filed a public comment on FEMA’s proposed rules, saying victims of the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon Fire should be paid for noneconomic damages.
Now FEMA is being sued by victims who claim the agency is improperly denying them the money they deserve for the federal government’s mistake.
People with high-dollar ranches and some residents of a hard-hit subdivision with a golf course have already received substantial checks for their losses.

Leave #OldGrowthForests alone or face #GaiaRising: Longleaf restoration is a struggle against competition. It requires careful monitoring, probably herbicides, possibly the harvesting of nearby trees, and certainly fire—blazes repeated as frequently as every two years and carefully timed for both the weather and the condition of the forest.

#WhiteSkinBlackFuel: Louisiana’s budget was so flush with #oil surpluses that for three straight years, prison construction costs, to redress medical neglect, unsafe facilities, religious discrimination, racial segregation and the violence of solitary confinement, (but not incarcerating innocents), were covered with cash on hand instead of the more typical debt financing.
