    Well either Trump's lying or he is living in an altered state of reality. Either way, it makes him mentally unfit to serve

    At the end he wasn't. He should have stepped down. He was showing signs that shouldn't have been brushed aside. But, two wrongs don't make a right, and Trump should be impeached now, because 3 more years of having a President unfit to serve is inexcusable. One was enough. Don't you agree?

    The world has entered a new era of ‘water bankruptcy’ with irreversible consequences

    Regions across the world are afflicted by severe water problems: Kabul may be on course to be the
    first modern city to run out of water. Mexico City is sinking at a rate of around 20 inches a yearas the vast aquifer beneath its streets is over-pumped. In the US Southwest, states are locked in a continual battle over the how to share the shrinking water of the drought-stricken Colorado River.

    The global situation is so severe that terms like “water crisis” or “water stressed” fail to capture its magnitude, according to the report published Tuesday by the United Nations University and based on a study in the journal Water Resources.

    “If you keep calling this situation a crisis, you’re implying that it’s temporary. It’s a shock. We can mitigate it,” said Kaveh Madani, director of the UN University’s Institute for Water, Environment and Health, and the report’s author.

    With bankruptcy, while it’s still vital to fix and mitigate where possible, “you also need to adapt to a new reality… to new conditions that are more restrictive than before,” he told CNN.

    i agree Biden should never have been president.

    I don't believe Trump has done anything that merits impeachment.

    Only those who listen to scientists and experts vs guys like the orange idiot and his billionaire bribers in the fossil fuel industry.

    "Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???"

    - The Orange Idiot

    Honestly, he's such a dumbass. He's beyond understanding anything related to science and meteorology. He just spews dumb sh*t constantly. It's not rocket science to know that Arctic warming weakens and destabilizes the polar jet stream, allowing frigid Arctic air to dip southward, even as overall global temperatures rise. Little does Trump know, but that disruption can cause more intense cold snaps and heavy snow events when cold air meets moisture, creating seemingly contradictory extreme winter weather.

    On the other hand, Trump was also just saying in Davos that the reason for taking control of Greenland was largely due to "sea lanes opening up due to ice melting and China and Russia increasing military activity in the Arctic."

    The move is largely driven by the opening of Arctic sea lanes (e.g., Transpolar Sea Route) due to melting ice, creating new, direct maritime routes between the Atlantic and Pacific.

    Increasingly advanced capabilities give Beijing an edge in the scramble for the control of resources and shipping lanes that are being made accessible as global warming melts ice caps.

    They also come with security implications for the U.S. and other Arctic countries. Knowledge of seabed topography, weather patterns and ocean currents could be critical as China looks to expand its military presence in Arctic waters, including potentially patrols of nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines.

    As summer lengthening thins the ice, China has sent more ships through the Northern Sea Route that connects Asia to Europe via Russia’s northern coast, where Chinese companies have expanded infrastructure investment to help build what it calls the “Polar Silk Road.”

    At the January 2026 Davos World Economic Forum, President Donald Trump announced a "framework" deal for "total access" to Greenland, focusing on securing the Arctic against Russian/Chinese activity. This strategy emphasizes mining, missile bases, and controlling Arctic sea lanes as ice melts.

    He's a walking around talking contradiction. The story changes depending on what he wants. That will never change.

    Yes, we've wasted the last three decades and now it is more difficult than ever to take any meaningful measures. There is no place that will be immune from effects. Government action is not coming anytime soon. Still, every fraction of a degree matters and every failure we can contain with minimal damage is a win. Every cascading reaction we can prevent is a win.

    The usual suspects will be ten feet underwater in Miami, and on a cold day in June will come with a "How 'bout that global warming?" zinger like they are clever and wise.

    Frogs in the pot of slowly boiling water.
