Guy had to light himself on fire? That’s like the opposite of fighting climate change. So many more eco-friendly ways to go

Simultaneously increasing and decreasing the carbon footprint.

Oh

My god

I've been banging this drum for half a decade, and never thought it had a chance, but it looks promising that we've actually saved the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant from closing.

Newsom told the L.A. Times editorial board Thursday that the state would seek out a share of $6 billion in federal funds meant to rescue nuclear reactors facing closure, money the Biden administration announced this month. Diablo Canyon owner Pacific Gas & Electric is preparing to shutter the plant — which generated 6% of the state’s power last year — by 2025.

With Lake Mead in Nevada shrinking in size, bodies that were dumped there are being exposed.

The latest remains were reported to park rangers on Saturday. On 1 May, a body was found in a barrel stuck in the mud of the lake's receding shoreline.

The largest US reservoir, Lake Mead supplies drinking water to 20 million people from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

Police warn that more bodies will probably be found as the lake recedes.

Investigators say the body found last week by boaters belonged to a person who was fatally shot in the 1970s or 80s.

Las Vegas homicide detective Lt Ray Spencer told local media the timing was determined due to the victim's clothes and shoes, which were sold at Kmart stores at the time.

The National Park Service, which patrols Lake Mead, said the latest discovery of "human skeletal remains" was reported by witnesses on Saturday afternoon.

"The investigation is ongoing. No further information is available at this time," park officials said in a press release.

The big rains in northern MN this spring caused water levels to rise for rivers that dump into Lake Superior.

Yellowstone National Park was closed & evacuated this past weekend for the first time in 34 years because of flooding. The park is expected to remain closed until at least the fall, maybe longer.

What is known is that leading up to these heartbreaking losses, temperatures in the area were over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, there was humidity, and there was little to no wind to help cool the animals. Temperature readings reported for Ulysses began to exceed the 100-degree mark on June 11. By June 13, the high temperature was reported at 104 degrees, with humidity levels ranging from 18% to 35%. Temperature and humidity levels began to break some on June 14. Just a few days prior to the heat setting in, highs had been in the 80s.

Large losses in feedlots due to heat stress seem to start every year around June, said veterinarian A.J. Tarpoff, who works with Kansas State University Extension. He explained that when there is a "perfect storm" of too much heat and no opportunity for nighttime cooling, cattle can accumulate heat and die from the stress. It's a situation, he added, that can hit both feedlot and grazing animals.

"Heat stress doesn't happen all at one time. Cattle accumulate heat during the day, and then over the nighttime hours, it takes four to six hours for them to dissipate that heat. As long as we have a cooling effect at night, cattle can mostly handle the heat. Where we run into issues is where we have two to four days in a row of minimal nighttime cooling, and we start the day with the heat load we accumulated the day before still there," he said.

We can't wait for them to increase meat prices by $5 per pound.

Fucking sucks for those cows and the farmers.

The Abbot baby formula plant in Sturgis, MI, has shut down again due to heavy rains flooding the facility. It will take a few weeks to disinfect the facility (again) and revalidate everything to resume baby formula production.

Operation starving babies commences. How will Joe "I'm Ridin' with" Biden solve this continuous crisis of capitalism? Perhaps a plane ride and a stern letter will save the starving infants!
