Paleontologist Dr Kenneth Lacovara: 'There have been five past mass extinctions. And every one was caused by a climate crisis-- the last, a climate crisis caused by an asteroid impact [that killed all life on the surface of the planet]. We are experiencing a sixth extinction, right now. We're not quite at the levels, obviously, that happened when the dinosaurs were wiped out. But the rate of extinction that's happening right now, if it persists, will lead to Earth's sixth extinction.'

'During the last 2 million years, we loose about 9 species per century. Well, just in the last century, we have lost 615 species of vertebrate animals.

Since 1970, there are 69% fewer wild animals on the land.'

something that i've been struggling to articulate but has been bothering me for a while is how some christians engage and interact with science and what i'm realizing is they have a like... almost love-bombing/discarding relationship with it. and i recognize science isn't a person and that's not literally happening but the christians that i grew up around have this relationship with science where it's real/valid/correct if it supports their side and fake/invalid/wrong if it doesn't. it's this like... engaging with science to get something from it when it can prove their point and condemning it when it doesn't. and this also ties into the belief that you, a layperson with no background in science, are more knowledgeable than actual scientists simply because you have god on your side, and therefore you can use science in whatever way you see fit, which means engaging with it in a way that is ultimately anti-science (but that also doesn't matter because god said it was okay). and it's exhausting engaging with these people for me because it's not that they believe all science bad, it's that they believe most science bad but some science good and they have the authority to determine what is bad and what is good, despite, again, not having a background in science (because what is a "background in science" to an all-knowing god that you have a personal relationship with?). the thing that is so frustrating to me is how these people recognize science is valued and use it to strengthen the validity of their points and to gain credibility while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge the validity of science as a field at all or put in any effort to understand/respect it.

On Thursday, the newly reopened House passed H.R. 4394, Energy and Water Appropriations. The bill will go through major changes on arrival in the Senate as it attempted to gut all of the environmental regulations and spending put into effect by the Biden Administration.
