Trump has vowed to take over the civil service, wreak vengeance on his enemies, and unleash the military on political opponents and immigrants.
He reportedly suggested that Hitler "did some good things" and wanted generals like the Nazis.
This is fascism. Use the word.

We’ve suspected for a long time that rainfall variability increases with warming. Now, observations are long enough and of sufficient quality to prove it. Not enough rain, and then too much, exacerbates climate impacts and makes adaptation more difficult.

Here in the UK we now have a strong, dynamic government with decency, integrity, intelligence & trust as its stand-out features. Early days but perhaps this may be replicated elsewhere. The climate is the single most important issue to be addressed. I’m the most optimistic I’ve been for years. 👍
