The parallels are frightening, and one might assume that the only book Trump has read was Hitler's "Mein Kampf"! However, he also has advisors, the Heritage Foundation, and "Project 2025."

Enemy images for the people.
Hitler saw the banishment of Jews from society as a solution to Germany’s problems.
Trump says migrants are “poisoning” the blood of the US.

After the 2024 presidential election, Trump, supported by leading tech billionaires and business giants, relied on the mobilizing power of the MAGA movement and on gaining unlimited power.

If we just build one more gas drilling site / pipeline / LNG terminal, gas'll become cheap. Please. Just one more. This time it'll be different. We'll have infinite cheap energy. Believe me, this time it's different. PLEASE

Modern climate scientists study only GHG effects using aerosols as a tuning knob. That makes telling the truth about earth system change quite difficult, narrow, and often incomplete.

...human activity is pushing Earth into a climate crisis that could threaten the lives of up to 6 billion people this century, stating candidly: “We are afraid of the uncharted territory that we have now entered.”
‘We Are Afraid’: Scientists Issue New Warning As World Enters ‘Uncharted Climate Territory’
Scientists today warned that human activity is pushing Earth into a situation "no one has ever witnessed firsthand in the history of humanity."

'As scientists, we are increasingly being asked to tell the public the truth about the crises we face in simple and direct terms.
The truth is that we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023.

The Warming Stripes have been an iconic way to communicate temperature data. On the latest episode of the podcast, we got to speak to their creator, @edhawkins.org.
