SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

yeah this one is very bad rn. it's not funny or cute or "wow, these guys are wild" that there's a concentration camp in Florida. it's a horror. It's "the concentration camp at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport," but all major news outlets are going with "Alligator Alcatraz" in quotes.

Abrego is the *only* prisoner ever released from CECOT, so this is the sole account we have of the horrifying conditions in the prison in El Salvador where Trump has sent over 260 people from the US.

Ethiopia Could Open EV Floodgates Across Africa, Asia, And Beyond - CleanTechnica Last year, when Ethiopia decided to ban the import of fossil fuel vehicles, it was a huge and unprecedented move — not just for Africa, but for any country in the world. One immediately had to wonder,...

House budget bill effectively kills US clean energy boom The House budget bill that narrowly passed in an early morning vote on Thursday would effectively put the brakes on a clean energy production boom in the United States spurred by tax credits enacted in 2022.

The modern GOP is ideologically committed to smashing the clean energy revolution. Climate people need to digest this.
