No proof yet, but I truly believe that this is hinting at the truth.

Republicans introduce extreme bill to ban lawsuits against Big Oil forever Shouldn't Democrats... be saying something about this?

Ted Cruz is the #1 lifetime recipient of fossil fuel money in the entire U.S. senate, receiving over $1 million from the oil and gas industry in the 2024 cycle alone

Now he's proposed a bill to give the fossil fuel industry lifetime legal immunity from climate lawsuits

Captain, we've been scanned!

I don't know the purpose, but yesterday a $2-3 million aircraft owned by Randigo LLC, did some kind of LiDAR mapping of Panama City. Paid for by who, for what purpose...I dunno.
The parallel lines running WSW-ENE are about 500m apart. Altitude was around 2,000 feet.

In a much shorter period, 2005-2017, domestic dogs have killed at least 433 people in the USA alone, with pitt bulls leading the pack by a LONG shot, responsible for 284 fatalities in the same period and countless injuries. Every year, approximately 800,000 people need medical care for a dog bites.

ASSUMPTIONS (plausible, stated up front):
  Baseline published estimate: 5.0 Mt CO₂ for Feb 28-Mar 14 (15 days) = average of 0.333 Mt/day.
  From Mar 15 onward, conflict intensity reduced relative to that 15-day peak period.  I assume a stepwise reduction:

      Mar 15-Mar 31 (17 days):  60% of peak daily rate → 0.333*0.60 = 0.200 Mt/day
      Apr 1-Apr 20 (20 days):   40% of peak daily rate → 0.333*0.40 = 0.133 Mt/day
  No major additional large industrial targets or massive oil-field fires beyond what earlier reports covered.
  Linear day-by-day rates within each period; rounding to three significant figures.

CALCULATION:
  Mar 15-Mar 31 (17 days):  0.200 Mt/day * 17 = 3.40 Mt
  Apr 1 -Apr 20 (20 days):  0.133 Mt/day * 20 = 2.66 Mt
  TOTAL Mar 15-Apr 20 = 3.40 + 2.66 = 6.06 Mt CO₂

ROUNDED RESULT:
  Estimated CO₂ emissions, Mar 15-Apr 20, 2026: = 6.1 million metric tons CO₂.

UNCERTAINTY & CAVEATS (brief):
  Likely uncertainty ±50% due to sparse public data, unknown strikes, and whether major fires occurred.
  If intensity stayed higher (e.g. 80% then 60%) total = 8.1 Mt;
  if lower (40% then 20%) total = 3.0 Mt
  I used the published 15-day peak as the reference; different baseline reports change results proportionally.

Hostilities have continued, at a lesser intensity, for the month since. I asked GPT-5 mini to estimate the CO₂ released from March 15 through April 20, 2026.
6.1 million metric tons, or a ton more than in the first 2 weeks.
Total 11 million metric tons over the 51 days from Feb 28 through Apr 20.

"The warring parties released almost 5.6 million tons (5.1 million metric tons) of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases by firing carbon-intensive weapons, powering fighter jets and ships, and bombing infrastructure such as oil storage facilities and civilian buildings."

It Was on Your Table Every Morning Growing Up. It’s Dying Before Our Eyes. No One Wants to Face It. The powerhouse of American citrus is suffering a brutal decline. Everyone has a theory about why.

This is a nightmare: the destruction of Florida's orange industry. Tariffs, drought, deep freezes and a bacteria that is destroying the trees. They have lost 95% of production since 2003.
3/4s of growers are out of business. This is the dangerous eco-future staring us.

I appreciate all of it.
I even appreciate that in this post, you have properly prefixed the USDA as "Trump's USDA". Every agency that has been perverted by DJT should be thusly prefixed to distinguish them from their functioning predecessors, and those that will hopefully exist when he's gone.

In Sri Lanka, animals pay the price for overcrowding and speeding jeeps YALA, Sri Lanka — Spotting a leopard at Yala National Park, Sri Lanka’s most famous wildlife park located in the deep south, tops the list of priorities for many local and foreign wildlife…

Yala National Park saw 380,000 visitors in just six months, but animals are paying the price. Speeding safari jeeps and overcrowding in Block I have become a crisis for acclimatized leopards.

New measures aim to redirect traffic and reduce pressure on this fragile ecosystem.

Do you want to see the "big picture" on climate change?

Here it is.

Emissions are on the left, and include CO2, CH4, N2O, and f-gases. Natural CO2 sinks (from healthy forests & oceans) are on the right. And carbon removal, what little there is, is on the right, too. All expressed as GWP100.

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
