Trump is keeping coal on life support. How long can it last?

A combination of federal intervention and rising energy demand have stalled coal’s decline, but experts see little hope of a lasting revival.

It has been estimated that about 5% of United States adults experience full-blown SAD, with up to 20% feeling a milder version, with greater prevalence in the Northern U.S. According to some reports, growing awareness about this condition and potential rise in summer-pattern SAD driven by increasing heat waves and disrupted sleep patterns due to climate changes, has placed the recent prevalence to 7% with milder forms as high as 40%

The Fragility of Resources:
Topsoil: It takes roughly 500 to 1,000 years for nature to create just one inch of topsoil. We are currently using it far faster than it can be replenished.

Rain: Freshwater is the "solvent of life." Without the hydrological cycle to distribute water across landmasses, even the richest soil becomes a sterile desert. #nature #ecology #earth #farming #food #science #environment #climate

❄️💎 While we think of #snow as a brilliant white, it’s actually made of ice crystals that are as clear as #water. The "whiteness" we see is an optical trick called scattering.

Because #snowflakes have so many jagged edges and surfaces, they act like millions of tiny prisms, bouncing all #colors of sunlight back to our eyes at once. When every color in the #rainbow hits your eyes simultaneously, your brain interprets it as pure white.

Australia’s worst heatwave since black summer made five times more likely by global heating, analysis finds

"Human-caused global heating made the intense heatwave that affected much of Australia in early January five times more likely, new analysis suggests."

"Heatwaves – defined as three consecutive days where maximum temperatures are higher than average – cause more deaths in Australia than all other natural hazards combined."

“The mentality here of ‘suck it up, she’ll be right’ does not fly any more...[The heat] is getting worse and whether we like it or not … there’s ultimately a limit to what we can actually physically cope with.”
