I'll sleep well tonight knowing my life has gotten better since 2016
(due to my personal actions, not resting hopes on politicians to save me and my family)
Ignorant statement.
I’ve bought a house and double my income since Trump being elected....so what.
Republican politicians are dooming your family line fool. Short term and long term.
Some of you are just plain stupid. Thinking your family will be ok with white supremist running the country, appointing judges, making decision on our futures.
Chilling study warns of the 'profound implications' of rising temperatures as it finds catastrophic insect loss in Puerto Rico rainforest following 2C rise
- Researchers studied temperatures in the tropical forests of Puerto Rico
- They have have climbed two degrees Celsius since the mid-1970s
- Study found the biomass of insects has declined by as much as 60-fold
Huge numbers of bugs have been lost in a pristine national forest in Puerto Rico, along with the forest's insect-eating animals, a shocking new study revealing the global crisis in insect numbers has found.
The finding supports the recent
United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change warnings of severe environmental threats given a 2.0 degree Celsius elevation in global temperature.
While temperatures in the tropical forests of northeastern Puerto Rico have climbed two degrees Celsius since the mid-1970s, the biomass of arthropods - invertebrate animals such as insects, millipedes, and sowbugs - has declined by as much as 60-fold, according to the new findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Trump administration could use military bases to export coal, gas
The Trump administration is considering using military bases to accommodate export facilities for coal or natural gas, Interior Secretary
Ryan Zinke has
told The Associated Press.
Zinke said the strategy is being considered as a way to thwart opposition by California, Oregon and Washington leaders to allowing export terminals in their states to sell coal or gas to Asia.
“I respect the state of Washington and Oregon and California,” Zinke told AP. “But also, it’s in our interest for national security and our allies to make sure that they have access to affordable energy commodities.”
Zinke said that may involve using “some of our naval facilities, some of our federal facilities on the West Coast.”
In his AP interview, Zinke only mentioned one possible facility for natural gas exports: the Adak Naval Air Facility in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, which closed in 1997.
Exports are a key piece of
President Trump’s agenda for “energy dominance,” which includes the United States becoming a world power in energy markets.
Gas exports have grown dramatically in recent years along with the large increase in production, though only two large-scale export facilities are currently operating, and neither is on the West Coast. Coal exports have held relatively steady in recent years as domestic demand for the fuel has dropped.
It is not the only move the administration is reportedly making to use the military to help its energy agenda. They are also working on a plan to keep uneconomical coal and nuclear power plants open, citing national security as the justification.
Interior spokeswoman Faith Vander Voort said Zinke is trying to keep options open for ways to boost exports.
