Greetings Earthlings. Did you read our headline last week? "SCOTUS decrees USA as kingdom! Down with the Kingmakers!" Yes, the democratic experiment known as the United States of America is monarchy controlled once again. The experiment is over.....unless we impeach certain members of the Supreme Court or King Biden packs the Court with justices who are not fascists. Hopefully His Malignancy won't get another term (unless the threat of AS prevails!) and the Dems retake both the House & the Senate in big numbers come November but that won't happen unless YOU VOTE! Speaking of failed experiments, remember PETA's efforts to end animal torture at UMass Amherst? Dr. Katherine Roe returns to discuss the "nightmarish test coordinated by University of Massachusetts–Amherst experimenter Agnès Lacreuse" that was pulled after only one day. Here is an Action Link regarding such atrocities. As always, we will also bring you along to meet our Fool-on-the-Hill and "Those whose brains were small" and way more, but first it's time for......Revenge of the Critters! Poacher gets poached.
It's difficult to choose which MAGA Fool to quote from regarding the majority Supreme Court decision to turn the USA into a kingdom but this one works: "Sen. John Barrasso (Repug -Wyo.), the chair of the Senate GOP and the highest-ranking Republican to comment on the decision..... called the opinion “another victory for democracy and the rule of law against Democrat lawlessness,” accusing Democrats and Biden of “weaponizing the justice system” against Trump." Victory for democracy?? More like Great Moments in Hypocrisy. We have an Enviro Show Action Link on this.
Since we're going on about our broken SCOTUS let's devote the Enviro Show Echo Chamber to more of that damage. The NY Times tells us "The Supreme Court temporarily put on hold
on...an Environmental Protection Agency plan to curtail air
pollution that drifts across state lines, dealing another blow to the
Biden administration’s efforts to protect the environment. The ruling followed recent decisions chipping away at the agency’s authority to address climate change and water pollution. Grist informs us soon after that "The Supreme Court ....threw into question the future of climate
and environmental regulation in the United States, scrapping a
decades-old legal precedent that gave federal agencies leeway to
interpret laws according to their expertise and scientific evidence. The impact of the decision to scrap the so-called Chevron deference will take years to become clear.." One thing is already clear, we need to abort the court. BTW, did you "Breakup with Fireworks" this year?
On to our "There Brains Were Small and They Died" segment where we cover a lot of ground in a rather short time. This week in honor of our Independence (and in opposition to its trashing by SCOTUS) we lump the entire MAGA Death Cult into one twisted hot mess and bestow this curse upon them all. OK, enough fun. How about an actual sober look at the situation?
Of course, the MAGA Death Cult would have you all believe that it's a hoax but we can't help but persist saying: "It's the Climate Crisis, Stupid!" So, The Prez "Calls Climate Denial ‘Dumb,’[and] Announces New Heat Protections for Workers", something so many bosses and their corporate masters oppose in our overheating climate as they huncker down in their air-conditioned boardrooms. Meanwhile, out in the real world enviros are pushing back on geoengineering wet dreams like dumping 60K gallons of sodium hydroxide into the waters off Cape Cod. "The geoengineering approach puts Earth's systems at risk in a faulty and false bid toward solving the climate crisis. It is what we call a false solution," said one campaigner. And this (like we've been saying all along): "Burning trees for energy really does heat the climate" Surprise! "The report from Princeton researcher Timothy Searchinger and Yale economist Steve Berry cuts against the idea at the core of the growing wood pellet industry: that burning trees for fuel actually drives emissions down." Speaking of science, here's something that might sober up any head-in-the-clouds futurists you may know: "Climate scientist Michael E. Mann warned it would essentially be “game over” for the fight against global warming should [His Malignancy] win back the White House in the 2024 election." Finally, here's is an Enviro Show Action Link you can use to pushback on business-as-usual.
It's time for our Critter of the Week. "Sharks, rays, and their relatives—encompassing over a thousand species—are vital for healthy ocean ecosystems. But their slow growth and low reproductive rates make them vulnerable to rapid population declines, and they’re often the first to be affected by unsustainable fisheries." Learn more from this Wild Audio ink!
Sharks naturally are obviously prime candidates for Revenge of the Critters! but our guest this week will be speaking about far gentile critters which brings us to our Quote of the Week:
"Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty" - Albert Einstein
