MUST READ: "The real story isn't about the ads you see but the power you don't. It's about the candidates who never run, the policies that never get debated, and the slow, systemic drift of our democracy away from the will of the majority." 💯
Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:
Money Doesn't Buy Elections. It Does Something Worse.
Campaign ads barely move the needle. The real influence is hiding in plain sight.

This graphic gives the annualized new methane added to the atmosphere, taking into account the atmospheric lifetime of methane of 110 months.
New methane is currently sitting flat at about 153 ppb per year. Fondly remembering the COP-26 Global Methane Pledge. We were so young.

Andean condors keep ecosystems clean by consuming carcasses, but many have been poisoned after being wrongly blamed for livestock deaths. Only ~6,700 remain.
In Colombia, just 130 survive, and a breeding program has produced three chicks for future release.

The M8.1 solar flare that erupted from region 4299 at 2039 UTC yesterday resulted in an earth-directed full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME).
The CME is expected to impact Earth early to midday UTC on Tue 09 December, with G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storming and auroras.

“Four main emission hotspots emerge: the North Sea region, eastern Germany, the Baltics together with eastern Poland, and north Ireland. The North Sea region is the largest, accounts for 20% of EU+ peatland emissions on just 4% of the peatland area. “

In how far can large areas of extreme sea surface temperature anomalies couple with the atmosphere in such a way that self reinforcing and self stabilizing characteristics emerge?

This provides both a strong indication of a higher aerosol forcing (change) and a higher climate sensitivity (mainly from stronger cloud feedbacks).
If the aerosol forcing isn't stronger than in CMIP6 models, NASA CERES data indicates that ECS could be >6°C‼️
