They ARE wonderful, and curious and seem to enjoy our company. It was absolutely an accident, but i was scratched pretty badly by the female snuggling with me. I had to have too many stitches to count along with antibiotic shots. It didn't deter my love for them even a little bit :) In fact, I wanted to go back to show her I was ok. I know, I know lol.

Already by the 1970s, top energy analysts knew abundant natural gas would displace coal, resulting in lower emissions. And so Malthusian scientists, in order to create their outlandishly apocalyptic scenarios, demonized them as climate deniers and drove them out of the IPCC.

Junkyu picked Haruto as someone that he think has the best fashion sense in their personal outfits! 🐨: Personally, I really envy Ruto’s casual outfits, so I’d love to try Ruto’s style once. But since it doesn’t suit me as well as it suits Ruto, it makes me a bit upset. 🤖: Then try it, try it. 🐨: I did try, but it didn’t work. 💎: Oh, you tried? When? 🐨: I borrowed Ruto’s clothes and tried them on in front (of him). I even tried wearing the sunglasses. 🐨: You know how Ruto wears those really impressive jackets? I tried it once, but when I looked in the mirror, I thought, ‘Ah, this doesn’t work for me.’ So I ended up just being envious. 🦋: Thank you~~

ARIRANG TOUR IN BUSAN D2 #RM ending ment for BTS 13th anniversary. 🐨 Ok everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve felt such mixed feelings like this. 🐨 13… 🗣️ *KIM NAMJOON* 🐨 Thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve heard that. 🐨 Everyone…well.. 🐨 It’s been quite a long time, hasn’t it? 🐨 Honestly, it feels like just yesterday that we were in the practice room performing “No More Dream” and “We Are Bulletproof Pt.2,” but somehow all this time has already passed. 🐨 So much has changed since then. 🐨 We worked hard here in Korea, then gradually spent more and more time overseas, there was more English in our lyrics, and so many other changes happened along the way. 🐨 During that time, K-pop as an industry grew tremendously, and younger artists started coming to us more often. 🐨 They ask us things like, “How have you managed to stay together as a team for so long?” 🐨 They asked before we enlisted, and they still ask now. 🐨 But honestly, I don't really know. 🐨 I think I've continued to reflect on myself through these 6 members, and through all of you who are here and who continue to watch over us. 🐨 Unlike before, I don't really share my thoughts that often, and I don't talk openly about my feelings much either. 🐨 So it feels like it's been a while since I've said this to you. 🐨 Anyway, over the years, there was “Love Yourself”, there was “The Most Beautiful Moment in Life”, “Dynamite”, and so many things all the way to ARIRANG. 🐨 While performing “Magic Shop” earlier, the past 13 years flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern. 🐨 Anyway, being able to be here together like this is truly such an honor, and I'm so grateful. 🐨 No matter where we are, and no matter what we look like, we'll always do our very best, and keep working hard to show you who we truly are. 🐨 I hope you'll continue to stay with us for a long, long time. 🐨 Thank you. I love you. 🐨 Thank you.

🐨 The time we spent before working on the album was important. 🐨 Jin hyung was discharged first, and he really kept things going. 🐰 That’s right. 🐨 Hyung went on tour, did Run Jin, and also appeared on Kian’s Bizarre B&B. He’s someone the public really likes. I’ve never seen anyone who dislikes Jin hyung. 🐨 Since hyung is so handsome, I feel like it would be a bit awkward to say this in front of him. His face is not one that people have divided opinions about. 🐨 I was also very moved by hyung’s role when I went to the concert. 🐿️ Normally, if someone is handsome, their face should be shown a lot! 🐿️ Hyung, please continue to be shown a lot in the future as well! 🐥 They were schedules that were really not easy. 🐨 You really worked hard. Thank you~

The flooding in Islamabad’s historic Saidpur village after 157mm of rain is not just a monsoon or "natural disaster" event—it’s a calamity where we colluded to ignore the very real impacts of climate change by unchecked development. Flash floods swept away cars and motorbikes as illegal constructions choked the natural nullah flowing from the Margalla Hills. This is what happens when we block nature’s course with concrete and complacency. Climate change intensifies the rain, but poor planning and unchecked encroachments turn it into devastation. #urbanflooding #saidpur

👤: Hey, while you were living together (in LA), did you never fight? Not even once? 🐨: We did fight. One night after drinking, getting all melancholy and stuff. 👤: Who got the angriest? You, right? You again? You got mad again? 🐨: Ah, I didn't get mad! 👤: Who fought with whom? Who fought with whom? And SUGA broke it up. 🐨: Because we had to work again the next day, because we were always doing song camp. So I was like, "Hey. Let's clean this up a bit now, this situation..." and then- 👤: Oh, this is the highlight part right now, isn't it? 🐨: "Hyung, shouldn't you also not say that to Taehyung like that either?" This is what happened. 🐱: No but, I was right there beside them listening, and then suddenly the guys were getting heated, so I called Jimin over and I said, "What's this about?" But since they were all drunk they didn't really know exactly what it was about. But they were all like (huff huff) and then it became like this- 🐨: "No, but still, Hyung, you can't talk to a member like that!" 🐨: "Me? Why? What did I do?” 🐨: And then Taehyung suddenly went, "Exactly, I was disappointed too..." like that. 🐱: No, the two of them were suddenly bawling their eyes out. 👤: All of a sudden the two of them were on the same side. 🐨: Yes! All I said was let's call it a night and then I became some kind of... 👤: You became the bad guy. To Jimin, you were the bad guy. 🐨: I mean, I was less drunk than the two of them. So they followed me to my room and for 3 hours both of them were like "I'm so disappointed" like this. 👤: So what exactly is he disappointed by? 🐱: I was just watching from the side and I kept saying, "Hey, why?" 👤: That's so in character for you. 🐱: Why? Seriously, why? This doesn't seem like the time to fight right now? 👤: Then what about J-Hope? 🐨: Well, Hobi just went in early / went to sleep early. He doesn't drink much. 👤: That's so Hobi-like too. You probably still kind of hear it sometimes even now. 🐨: I do hear it! "A member is having a hard time"

WATCH: Republicans were never going to see the real impacts of climate change after decades of denial and declare, "My bad. We were wrong.” But their behavior in the face of this impending one-two punch of hurricanes should serve as a wake-up call to everyone stuck here in reality about the very real stakes of this election, says Chris Hayes.

Six Class 10 students in Delhi turned discarded kulhads into eco-coolers for govt schools with tin roofs. Led by Amaira, they tackled extreme heat affecting kids’ health and attendance. Using clay’s natural cooling, scrap metal, and simple motors, Project Vaayu dropped temperatures by 6–8°C. Now impacting 400+ children across four schools, these teens proved that real change doesn’t need power—just purpose.

CNN’s Chief Data Analyst: Americans are 𝗻𝗼𝘁 afraid of climate change. 🗨️ “𝐶𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑠 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑠𝑢𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐴𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒.” In case you needed some good news this week, a Gallup poll found that only 40% of Americans are “greatly worried” about climate change. That figure is exactly the same as it was 25 years ago and just five percentage points higher than the poll in 1989. As for the percentage of Americans who think climate change will make it harder to stay at their current location, it’s a very underwhelming 17%, most of which is weighted by Democrats (27%). Both GOP voters (6%) and independents (16%) are lower than the average American.

$Since taking office, President Donald Trump has pulled the US out of the United Nations Paris agreement on climate change, unleashed fossil fuel production, cut climate subsidies that were part of the Inflation Reduction Act, and chosen as his Secretary of Energy an oilman who helped create the fracking revolution. Given that Democrats have spent the last 20 years describing climate change as an “existential threat” and making climate policy their highest priority under Biden, one would expect there to be significant protests and other actions by progressives. And yet we’ve seen no significant climate change protests since Trump took office two months ago. No Greta Thunberg marches — she’s moved on to Palestine. No drumbeat from the news media. No Extinction Rebellion activists blocking traffic in DC. “Climate emergency” was not among the words chosen by Democrats in Congress to put on the little placards they held up during Trump’s address to Congress earlier this month. In fact, to the extent there have been protests by Democrats, they have been against the world’s most pioneering electric car manufacturer, Tesla, and have nothing to do with climate change. It’s true that many Democrats still care deeply about climate change and the issue may come back in the future. Where just 23% of Republicans view climate change as a serious threat to the country, 78% of Democrats do. “Executive orders are for show,” says political scientist and climate policy expert, The Honest Broker , on a new podcast for Public, “legislation is for real. And there doesn't seem to be any legislative strategy accompanying anything Trump is doing. As far as pulling out of Paris, we've done this dance before. Trump pulled out to Paris, and then Biden went back in.” And the media and Democrats routinely tie every natural disaster, such as the recent fires in LA, to climate change, even though there’s no good science supporting such connections, in most instances. “Every day there's some extreme weather somewhere,” said Pielke, who is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, “and so it is a perfectly made issue for sustaining some degree of attention.” But the partisan polarization over climate change, and the ease with which Trump and Biden can put the US in and out of the Paris agreement, all underscore the overall low level of concern with climate change in comparison to more pressing issues like inflation, migration, and even seemingly fringe issues like transgenderism. “The climate movement is a product of North America and Northern Europe,” said Pielke. “The ‘climate first’ voter is a tiny slice of the political landscape, even though they occupy a lot of attention and time on social media, in universities, and until recently, in the global financial sector. They made a lot of noise, but there weren't a lot of them around to begin with. The climate is just not that important to very many people around the world. People will say it's important. But give them a list of topics and it routinely comes in 17th, 18th, 19th, out of 20.” And now Pielke predicts that climate change could go the way of past environmental scares. “One story for the future of the climate discourse and climate change is that it's not going to go away, but it's going to fade from the center of public view like overpopulation did.” Why did climate change emerge as an issue of concern and then fade? “There's a pretty well-known economist named Anthony Downs who wrote a famous paper called the Issue Attention Cycle,” said Pielke. “It’s like a bell curve. You discover there's a potential problem, there's a lot of excitement, and ‘We’ve got to do something about it!’ Everybody gets on the bandwagon. Then you realize, ‘Oh my gosh, this is difficult! This is challenging!’ And then your attention goes to somewhere else and it's back down. And really climate change is following the Downs’ Issue Attention Cycle perfectly.” Pielke notes that the rate at which economies decarbonize, or reduce the amount of carbon dioxide per unit of GDP, is unchanged. “For the foreseeable future, we will continue to decarbonize the economy no matter what countries say about their climate commitments or whether there's a Viktor Orban or a Donald Trump in office. Decarbonization is much more powerful, it seems, than the politics of the climate. The Paris agreement hasn't really done anything to alter the trajectory of global decarbonization….Climate policy does a lot of things, but reducing carbon dioxide emissions is not one of those things...” Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning journalism, read the rest of the article, and listen to the full podcast!$

Trump pulled out to Paris, and then Biden went back in.” And the media and Democrats routinely tie every natural disaster, such as the recent fires in LA, to climate change, even though there’s no good science supporting such connections, in most instances. “Every day there's some extreme weather somewhere,” said Pielke, who is a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, “and so it is a perfectly made issue for sustaining some degree of attention.” But the partisan polarization over climate change, and the ease with which Trump and Biden can put the US in and out of the Paris agreement, all underscore the overall low level of concern with climate change in comparison to more pressing issues like inflation, migration, and even seemingly fringe issues like transgenderism. “The climate movement is a product of North America and Northern Europe,” said Pielke. “The ‘climate first’ voter is a tiny slice of the political landscape, even though they occupy a lot of attention and time on social media, in universities, and until recently, in the global financial sector. They made a lot of noise, but there weren't a lot of them around to begin with. The climate is just not that important to very many people around the world. People will say it's important. But give them a list of topics and it routinely comes in 17th, 18th, 19th, out of 20.” And now Pielke predicts that climate change could go the way of past environmental scares. “One story for the future of the climate discourse and climate change is that it's not going to go away, but it's going to fade from the center of public view like overpopulation did.” Why did climate change emerge as an issue of concern and then fade? “There's a pretty well-known economist named Anthony Downs who wrote a famous paper called the Issue Attention Cycle,” said Pielke. “It’s like a bell curve. You discover there's a potential problem, there's a lot of excitement, and ‘We’ve got to do something about it!’ Everybody gets on the bandwagon. Then you realize, ‘Oh my gosh, this is difficult! This is challenging!’ And then your attention goes to somewhere else and it's back down. And really climate change is following the Downs’ Issue Attention Cycle perfectly.” Pielke notes that the rate at which economies decarbonize, or reduce the amount of carbon dioxide per unit of GDP, is unchanged. “For the foreseeable future, we will continue to decarbonize the economy no matter what countries say about their climate commitments or whether there's a Viktor Orban or a Donald Trump in office. Decarbonization is much more powerful, it seems, than the politics of the climate. The Paris agreement hasn't really done anything to alter the trajectory of global decarbonization….Climate policy does a lot of things, but reducing carbon dioxide emissions is not one of those things...” Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning journalism, read the rest of the article, and listen to the full podcast!

.Jeremy Boreing on the betrayal of Charlie by “friends” he defended: “He died defending a lot of people who since his death have revealed themselves to be even WORSE than what the people Charlie was defending them against had accused them of being.” It seems Charlie had a degree of blindness about some of his friends. Many people probably put a lot of effort into staying in his good graces and not showing their true colors bc he was so powerful. As soon as the shepherd was gone, though, they immediately attacked the sheep. Now their characters are unfortunately very clear. 🎥:

Republican Senator Ron Johnson just suggested that since more people die from 'cold weather' than 'warm weather', climate change puts us in a better position and that it is "very favorable to my state [Wisconsin]". Johnson asked: "In terms of excess death we are actually in a better position to prevent death by having the climate increase in temperature a little bit, right?" Shortsighted politicians who don't truly understand the issues are a massive liability, to not only the United States, but to our planet. Ron Johnson has taken over $900,000 from the oil and gas industry in his career. He completely fails to understand the far-reaching impact of climate change. I'm not at all suggesting we stop drilling for oil. The solution is to keep drilling but keep pushing technologies that slow climate change, as quickly as possible. I'm just baffled at the ignorance. Thoughts?
