US citizens: call on the Senate to pass the Recovering America's Wildlife Act.

It would provide funding to every state, territory and the District of Columbia to proactively conserve more than 12,000 at-risk fish and wildlife species.

For saving these endangered species, and hundreds of thousands of other species, we must urgently reduce greenhouse emissions in addition to making specific conservation plans.

Progressive politicians must stop being scared of the vague accusation of "woke".

Many right-wing smear words work by being vague. They seize on an extreme fringe view which has real flaws, lump it together with other views which don't partake of those flaws, give one name to all so as to attack the latter for the flaws of the former. "Woke" is one example. "Critical race theory" is another.

The Tories plan to politicize the now-independent election-monitoring body.

This, together with their plans for voter suppression, indicate their intention to impose their rule through a pretend democracy.

The CDC has kept important Covid-19 statistics unreleased. For some kinds of data, this has gone on for more than a year.

If adults under 50 don't benefit from booster doses, that's great. That could free up US vaccine for unvaccinated people in other countries.

Sea-level rise will raise groundwater in coastal areas, and release toxic chemicals that people have buried there. To avoid poisoning people and animals, we will need to dig out those areas and convert the toxins. The resulting ponds can be very useful -- for floating neighborhoods, as in the Netherlands.

I doubt that poor countries will have the means to do this. I think that hundreds of millions of the inhabitants of those regions will have to struggle to survive. Some will survive by being terribly exploited, and the rest will die. And it is too late to avoid this by reducing greenhouse emissions now.

Those peoples can reduce the number of people who suffer those effects by having fewer children.
