/[ Thwaiting time is over as open ocean pounds ice directly ]/
*The news from Thwaites is getting grim; the open ocean is battering the
ice shelves.*
Sunday January 29, 2023 ·
Conditions at the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers in West Antarctica
appear to be rapidly deteriorating. Satellite imagery shared by Kris Van
Steenbergen and Chris Cartwright on Twitter shows massive cracks and
iceberg calving along with the breakup of sea ice that has accelerated
since Iceberg B22A lifted off its sea mount and entered the open ocean.
The oceans are now the hottest they have ever been. Ever!

The predicted fracturing of the marine extensions of the two enormous
marine-terminating ice streams reported last year that will occur in
three to five years is now happening. Faster than expected.
All pinning points are simultaneously collapsing. We are in unchartered
territory.
Antarctica is not waiting for us to get our shit together. Where is the
media?
Your daily #Thwaites update 28.01.2023
Check out the size of the latest crack -WOW
More cracks appearing along the coastline
Luckily it is the end of the melting season
It happened before , to clarify.
But so much sea ice missing in 2023

/[ foundational seminar on both positive and negative tipping points -
video 1:35 min ]/
*Changing Planet Seminar- Social, ecological and climate tipping points
by Tim Lenton*
Grantham Imperial
Feb 25, 2022 IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON
In this seminar, Professor Tim Lenton, Director of the Global Systems
Institute and Chair in Climate Change and Earth System Science at the
University of Exeter, will outline how tipping points can occur in
continuous dynamical systems and in networks, the causal interactions
that can occur between tipping events across different types and scales
of system – including the conditions required to trigger tipping
cascades, the potential for early warning signals of tipping points, and
how they could inform deliberate tipping of positive change.
In particular, the same methods that can provide early warning of
damaging environmental tipping points can be used to detect when a
socio-technical or socio-ecological system is most sensitive to being
deliberately tipped in a desirable direction. He will provide some
example targets for such deliberate tipping of positive change.
The Changing Planet seminar series is run by students and staff on the
Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet (SSCP) Doctoral Training
Program. It offers the chance to hear the latest in understanding,
adapting to and mitigating environmental problems, complementing the
diversity of environmental research at Imperial College London and beyond.

*William Rees - Measuring Our Ecological Footprint*
The Green Interview - Re-invent the world
1,898 views Jul 26, 2022 #ClimateChange #TheGreenInterview
Dr. William Rees, who devised the famous “Ecological Footprint,” which
measures the proportion of the earth’s resources any group of people is
using – a single person, a village or region, or the entire human race.
Dr. William Rees has been a professor at the University of British
Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) since 1969.
He founded SCARP’s ‘Environment and Resource Planning’ concentration and
from 1994 to 1999 served as director of the School.
Born December 18, 1943, Bill Rees grew up on a farm in in southern
Ontario, and dates his environmental awakening to a boyhood day when “I
happened to glance down at my plate full of young new carrots, little
potatoes, fresh lettuce, and I realized that there wasn’t a single thing
on the plate that I hadn’t had a hand in growing. I suppose it was like
an epiphany kind of experience.”

This interview is part of The Green Interview, an archive of resources
pertinent to an understanding of the future of life on earth and
humanity’s roles and responsibilities in sustaining it. The archive was
produced by the late Silver Donald Cameron and Chris Beckett during the
10 years before Cameron’s death in 2020. Through the efforts of family
and friends and the generosity of private donors, The Green Interview
has been made freely available to all who would find it of benefit. Its
permanent home is with the Science, Environment and Economy Archives of

What is propaganda? with Jason Stanley
Propaganda is ubiquitous, and everyone uses propaganda. It's a kind of
communication that makes a case for a goal, bypassing reason. Propaganda
is a method to urge you to mobilize towards something while concealing
from you things that you reasonably should think, should consider.
The word propaganda by itself is neither good nor bad because we talk of
abolitionist propaganda. We talk about the propaganda that people use in
social movements. Martin Luther King Jr. talked about the need for
propaganda because you need to get people to reconsider their racist
assumptions. The goal of propaganda is to connect neutral words to other
things.
Propaganda will always be here. Our words always have these
associations, any word I have. The goal is to have lots of different
ways of living and lots of different ways of thinking and to recognize
that we're not a threat to each other.

*Everybody knows*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxd23UVID7k
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Oh, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
When you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still picking cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
Everybody knows

However dissatisfying,
It’s over, except for the crying;

/[The news archive - looking back at how SCOTUS opened another door for
corp manipulation of Congress ]/
/*January 30, 1976*/
January 30, 1976: The US Supreme Court issues the Buckley v. Valeo
ruling, one of several controversial rulings that effectively allow
polluters to interfere with the US political process.
*Justia Opinion Summary and Annotations*
Annotation
Primary Holding
While the government can limit how much individuals contribute to
political campaigns, it cannot place limits on campaign
expenditures, expenditures by a candidate from personal resources,
or independent expenditures by groups supporting the campaign. This
is because the Court equated money with speech in this context, so
the First Amendment applies.
Facts
In an attempt by Congress to control spending and contributions for
political campaigns, Congress amended the Federal Election Campaign
Act of 1971 three years after it was passed. Some of the key
provisions included public financing for presidential elections,
mandated disclosure for political contributions, limits on
contributions to candidates for public office, limits on
expenditures by candidates and their committees in most instances,
limits on candidate expenditures from their personal funds, and
limits on independent expenditures.
The amendments also provided how the eight members of the Federal
Election Commission would be appointed. Two would be the Secretary
of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who
would be non-voting members. Two would be appointed directly by the
President. Two more would be appointed by the President pro tempore
of the Senate after recommendations by its majority and minority
leaders. The remaining two would be appointed by the Speaker of the
House of Representatives after recommendations by its majority and
minority leaders. Both Houses of Congress would be required to
confirm each of the six voting members by a majority vote, and the
three pairs of voting members needed to each contain a member from
each political party.
A group of plaintiffs, including Senator James Buckley, filed a
claim in the District of Columbia court against Francis Valeo, who
was the Secretary of the Senate and thus a non-voting member of the
FEC. Their petitions for declaratory and injunctive relief under the
First and Fifth Amendments were initially denied.
Opinions
Per Curiam
In an opinion not authored by any individual Justice, the Court
found that some of the provisions of the Campaign Finance Act were
unconstitutional, while others were valid. In general, the
provisions that were invalidated were those that:
1) Limited expenditures by candidates from personal funds;
2) Limited expenditures on campaigns by independent entities, who
were neither candidates nor political parties; and
3) Arranged a system whereby Congress could directly appoint FEC
commissioners.
By contrast, the provisions that were upheld were those that:
1) Limited contributions to candidates;
2) Required the disclosure and reporting of provisions (although the
Court narrowed their applicability); and
3) Created a system for voluntary government funding of campaigns
and limited spending by candidates who used this funding.
