Global climate research at risk as key CO2 monitoring faces ax

Scientists fear an 'irreplaceable' loss of key climate data as Trump cost-cutting plans target a key CO2 monitoring site in Hawaii. Why is the Mauna Loa Observatory so important?

The consequences for Yoon are varied. He's now open to be tried for a whole range of crimes, including treason. He's got to leave the official residences, has no staff and, most deliciously coldblooded of all, can't be buried in any official cemetery.

They don't even want his corpse hanging around.

so, when Marine Le Pen got smacked down, decided to catch up with my French politics reading and, those were the days (less than a week ago) when only la gauche were calling for a boycott of États-Unis over #Gaza #Ukraine #Greenland and shameless #fascism & #corruption, especially the Tesla shmuck.

then the orange fuckwad turned tariffs into extortion.

so now, Macron has said, in so many words, it’s time to #Boycott #Divest & #Sanction USA:

"On top of that, Trump can only impose tariffs (normally a power of #Congress) based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act. Both laws require there to be an actual “emergency.” The only emergency here is that nobody in the administration understands what trade deficits are."

Text from article: You might notice something about that paragraph. It starts by describing how tariffs hurt the economy in the short term. Then there’s a “but” — which usually signals some kind of silver lining. Instead, it just pivots to explaining how tariffs hurt the economy even more in the long term. Cool. So we have a policy that: 1. Is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of trade deficits 2. Uses made-up numbers derived from a nonsense formula 3. Would actually make the “problem” it’s trying to solve even worse 4. Will definitely make Americans poorer But wait, it gets better. All of this glosses over the fact that “reciprocal tariffs” are not reciprocal at all. Trump’s team is making up fake tariff numbers for foreign countries based not on anything having to do with tariffs, but on trade deficits, which is just an accounting of inflows vs. outflows between two countries. It’s only reciprocal because the Trump team faked the numbers. On top of that, Trump can only impose tariffs (normally a power of Congress) based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the National Emergencies Act. Both laws require there to be an actual “emergency.” The only emergency here is that nobody in the administration understands what trade deficits are.

Per CREW: "Vietnamese media is reporting that Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh recently met with a Trump Organization representative and is supporting expediting approval for a Trump Organization development.

This came at the same time that the Vietnamese government was trying to avoid being subject to Trump administration tariffs." 🤔

Oh gee, they are discovering the racket of ebooks that #libraries have known and warned about for ages.

Maybe libraries need to get in on this and sue some publishers as well. (But that would require having a pair.)
