How many US SOLDIERS died of the 1918 Flu??

Far better to trump means exactly the same but withy his name on it.

WORLD VIEW 15 April 2026 Why more fossil fuels won’t fix the Iran energy crisis Climate-friendly technologies are the best way to stymie rising inflation — and will get better and cheaper over time. By Gernot Wagner Spend any time discussing solar and wind power as a solution to climate change, and you are sure to encounter someone who asks about reliability. The Sun does not shine at night and the wind does not always blow, so fossil fuels will be needed forever as a back-up, they argue. But how reliable are fossil fuels? In the past two months, conflict in Iran has created an energy crisis — the latest in a series. Oil prices spiked within days of the start of US, Israeli and Iranian bombing in the Gulf region on 28 February. Fuel prices remain high and volatile, and the ripple effects are set to increase inflation in the coming months. Isabel Schnabel, a member of the European Central Bank’s executive board, memorably named this effect fossilflation in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. There was, and is, one clear winner: renewables and other low-carbon technologies, from batteries to electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps. That is what distinguishes this Middle East oil and gas crisis from the Arab oil embargoes of the 1970s. Then, renewables were mostly unavailable, and industrial decarbonization was on few people’s radars. Solar power cost at least 500 times more than it does today, and EVs, heat pumps and induction stoves were a pipe dream. Ditching fossil fuels is not all smooth sailing. In 2022, European natural-gas prices spiked to ten times their levels before the Ukraine invasion, resulting in long waiting times for solar panels and heat pumps. Prices for these rose as demand outpaced supply, an effect Schnabel dubbed greenflation. She used a third term, climateflation, to describe the economic effects of climate-induced weather extremes, such as food-price rises from crop failures (M. Kotz et al. Commun. Earth Environ. 5; 2024).

The Iran War has once again led to a bout of what @isabelschnabel.bsky.social memorably dubbed 'fossilflation'.

It's en vouge to talk about the solution as some massively complex undertaking. It really isn't. Get off fossil fuels faster.

My latest just out @nature.com

Exactly. I just unfollowed him because it feels like Hes telling himself a reassuring story rather than using data to tell a deeper story.

Seeing a very different story as state level energy policy staff/adjunct professor/consultant.

The potential to address this is high. The likelihood of the most vulnerable being abandoned is high

Im worried a hundred million people are going to starve

the president is committing war crimes, once eradicated diseases have returned, immigrants are being disappeared, concentration camps are back, billionaires are murdering communities with data centers, abortion is criminalized, and trans people are being erased, but at least robots can run marathons

US Southern Command: On April 19, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED

We murdered three more people in boats today

He should try being like a state representative then a senator first?

Seems the 2027 legislative session is not gonna be a time for us to do a shakedown run with US senators

So modern humans were a genetic possibility when that light started its journey.

This really raises questions about why I have to shut my phone off when I’m on a plane.

Seems worried you’d be a lot more worried about the sensitive equipment on a space capsule surrounded by a hard vacuum.

Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom. The system failed when it chose profit over accountability and forced itself on others. He reflects the insatiable beast that was already there preying on us all. Change will require building a new nation before the current one rightfully collapses.

Was it the same robot on a single battery that crossed the finish line?

I used to think Cobra from GI Joe was stupid in that it was a corporate terrorist organization that couldn’t possibly exist in the real world but now I just see it’s Palantir plus Blackwater.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

"U.S. and Iran are said to near a framework for future negotiations" New York Times headline April 17, 2026. Story by Michael Crowley and Farmaz Fassihi https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/us/strait-of-hormuz-open-iran-talks-negotiations.html

US and Iran are said (passive voice) to near (aren't at) a framework (not a deal) for future negotiations (to talk later)

In other words, they can't even agree on what to hold a meeting about.

Peace reigns! All rejoice!

Straight up milking the market

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

OOP

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'
