As humanity reshapes Earth, scientists ask: will anything of us remain? Or have others vanished before—leaving no trace? Mass extinctions may not just be natural… they might be industrial.

‘The dirtiest coal-fired power plant in the US and dozens of others are being exempted from stringent air pollution mandates as part of US President Donald Trump’s bid to revitalize the industry.

The Trump administration has argued coal is a vital part of the mix to ensure sufficient energy supply to meet booming demand for AI data centers.’

Let’s start the day with good news. AMOC Collapse Day has not been determined yet.

The collapse itself is inevitable now; but it may take a few YEARS still, which is a really long time spanning more than one election cycle, so good news amirite?

So, there are proposals to add a category six to the Saffir-Simpson scale and I am absolutely not terrified that we'll have a category eight just like that episode of #Loki that gave my anxiety anxiety. 😳

"Higher unemployment keeps wages low. This means higher corporate profits, leading to higher returns for shareholders" – @rbreich writes forensically about why we are not 'all in it together'.

The #ClassWar is more real than ever – and our side is losing, badly. And this is part of the same nexus of crises as the #ClimateCatastrophe and #HoloceneExtinction; they're all related, we need to fix them all together, or we will fix none.

We're in/entering the 7th mass extinction. Not 6th. Numbers are poor for naming. 'Holocene extinction' or 'Anthropocene extinction' might be better terms.

Scientists just found a hidden 6th mass extinction in Earth's ancient past

A global drop in oxygen levels about 550 million years ago led to Earth's first known mass extinction, new evidence suggests.
