Jeff Phillips@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social If the GOP continues down the path they are, I predict they will have a wipe out in the November elections that will exceed the post-Watergate blowout in 1974. Flipped 45 seats in the House and 5 in the Senate. (I'm hoping they continue down the path they are on.)

Wisconsin-sized chunk of Alaskan permafrost is thawing: Geoscientists say climate may never be the same
In a first-of-its-kind study, a team of researchers led by geoscientist Michael Rawlins at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has shown in fine-grained detail what happens when Arctic permafrost thaws. Focusing on a Wisconsin-sized area of Alaska's North Slope containing hundreds of rivers and streams flowing into the Beaufort Sea, the team analyzed 44 years of model data at one-kilometer grid resolution, revealing how massively runoff is increasing, the increased loads of previously frozen carbon flowing through northern Alaska's rivers and how the thawing season has extended into late-summer and fall.
