Go my Bothriolepis... This year's fish pecan pie! Bothriolepis was a peculiar-looking placoderm from the Devonian period or the Paleozoic. It had two long pointed pectoral fins and silly little eyes on top of its head.

An atmospheric river will bring heavy rainfall, likely with dangerous flooding and debris flows, to parts of Southern California today into the weekend.
A debris flow happens when normally dry soil becomes overly saturated, reaching a point where it turns to a liquid state and flows downhill.

NatGas will save us from coal seemed like a panacea in the 200Xs. Methane concentrations year2yr stabilized. Simple
Right?
No, turns out over the lifetime, LNG, liquid ‘natural’ (CH4) gas, is coal like in its Carbon footprint

For Democrats willing to promote fossil fuels as clean energy, the payoff is pretty nice
Other Dems who've joined Natural Allies receive anywhere from $180K - $250K per year. It doesn't appear to be a full-time job either.
