Hmmm. Is he signaling that he is going to crash the US economy? Then will he restart it without the US Dollar and instead institute a crypto-based economy?

With #Arctic sea ice tracking at record lows going into the summer melt season it’s a good reminder, I witnessed and documented the first great sea ice loss and tipping point 19 yrs ago #sailing the #NorthwestPassage

Please read my in depth story on Substack where I go into further depth on the threats to our public lands and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge including a side trip on a documentary photo mission into the ancient Gwich'in village of Old Crow Yukon. https://thoreson.substack.com/p/red-alert-your-public-lands-are-under

From paddling Minnesota’s pristine Boundary Waters to disrupting the migratory patterns of 200,000 Porcupine Caribou in our Arctic Refuge, it’s wilderness protection, public lands and recreation vs Big Oil and extraction. Pick a side. The battle is on.

Melissa has now gone through 2 rapid intensifications with winds at 185 mph (gusting 215+) n a low pressure reading of 992 mb, making this the 3rd strongest hurricane recorded in the Atlantic Ocean system. Storm surge 9-13 feet w heavy rain n high tide conditions. Worst case scenario for Jamaica.

Less #Seaice in the Arctic means more shipping in the Northern Sea Route, which Putin controls. Until the USA understands climate disruption, we are at a strategic disadvantage.

Thx Zack. Multi-year thick sea ice is near extinction in the Arctic. Sea ice extent is like the skin of an onion, lots of thin first-year ice. The #NorthwestPassage was again open this season.

Been there. Seen it. Groundtruthed the science multiple times. We’re losing sea ice quickly in the North.

Ocean Watch sails through the Northwest Passage in 2009 on a 28,000-mile circumnavigation of the Americas. Seattle to Seattle. Now a new circumnavigation is underway with the same captain Mark Schrader retracing our voyage and doing scientific research along the way.

16 years ago, I was the photographer and ice sailing expert on Ocean Watch sailing through the #NorthwestPassage from west to east. I shot this image near Bellot Strait as we were putting the passage behind us. Now a new One Ocean #sailing voyage is retracing our route to document enviro change.

Trump and his science-denying thugs are wiping climate change data from the system.
They are willing to burn 🔥 the USA and civilization to the ground.
The #climatecrisis is real and life threatening.
This shit is real folks and the fossil fuel industry doesn’t want you to have the data anymore.

I’m back from #sailing the Pacific. “Along with ocean currents circulating warm and cold water, this is our natural heating, and air conditioning system, which provides the stability for all life to exist on Planet Earth. Man-made #climatechange is disrupting these natural systems…”
