|'''Too hot to work: the dire impact of extreme heat on outdoor US jobs’'''
[[File:30x30 Biodiversity Conservation Goals.png|65px]][[30x30 Conservation Initiative]] 9/08
[[File:Too Hot.jpg|center|thumb| [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/aug/17/outdoor-jobs-us-heat-impacts Aliya Uteuova and Andrew Witherspoon August 17 2021]]] By 2050, nearly 60% of outdoor workers – such as construction workers, emergency responders and farmworkers – could experience at least one week of workdays when extreme heat makes it too dangerous for them to work. This is in a scenario where little to no action is taken to reduce emissions. Currently less than 10% of outdoor workers lose work days to extreme temperatures.


|'''IPCC climate report: Earth is warmer than it’s been in 125,000 years’'''
[[File:Preserving Japanese American Incarceration Legacy.png|65px]][[Japanese American Incarceration]] 9/07
[[File:Low reservior.jpg|center|thumb| [https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02179-1 Jeff Tollefson 8/09/21 Nature]]] Modern society’s continued dependence on fossil fuels is warming the world at a pace that is unprecedented in the past 2,000 years — and its effects are already apparent as record droughts, wildfires and floods devastate communities worldwide — according to a landmark report from the United Nations on the state of climate science. The assessment from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says things are poised to get worse if greenhouse-gas emissions continue, but also makes it clear that the future of the planet depends in large part on the choices that humanity takes today.
|'''Toyota is quietly pushing Congress to slow the shift to electric vehicles’'''
[[File:Toyota image search.jpg|center|thumb| [https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/26/22594235/toyota-lobbying-dc-ev-congress-biden-donation By Andrew J. Hawkins@andyjayhawk  Jul 26, 2021 The Verge]]] The company came under fire recently after it was revealed that it was the largest corporate donor to Republican lawmakers who objected to the certification of the 2020 presidential election. A majority of those politicians also dispute the scientific consensus on climate change. Toyota initially defended the contributions, but then later said it would halt them. You know things are bad for the company when a Toyota spokesperson has to confirm to the Times that the automaker does indeed believe that climate change is real.

Then we’ll have the oysters, hopefully tons of them. It’ll be teeming with life.”

[[File:Amaranth2.jpg|center|thumb| [https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/06/ancient-grain-amaranth-food-trend-indigenous Cecilia Nowell in Albuquerque, New Mexico Aug 7th The Guardian]]] Indigenous women in North and Central America are coming together to share ancestral knowledge of amaranth, a plant booming in popularity as a health food.

And a warmer, drier climate has made its recovery increasingly unlikely.


|'''Environmental impact of bottled water ‘up to 3,500 times greater than tap water’'''
[[File:The Sixth Mass Extinction Crisis.png|65px]][[The Sixth Mass Extinction]] 8/25
[[File:Bottled Water.jpg|center|thumb| [https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/05/environmental-impact-of-bottled-water-up-to-3500-times-greater-than-tap-water Joey Grostern August 5 2021]]] Research led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) found that if the city’s population were all to drink bottled water, this would result in a 3,500 times higher cost of resource extraction than if they all drank tap water, at $83.9m (£60.3m)a year.
|'''For Billion-Dollar COVID Vaccines, Basic Government-Funded Science Laid the Groundwork'''
[[File:Messener RNA.jpg|center|thumb| [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/for-billion-dollar-covid-vaccines-basic-government-funded-science-laid-the-groundwork/ By Arthur Allen, Kaiser Health News on November 18, 2020 Scientific American]]] The idea of creating a vaccine with messenger RNA, or mRNA—the substance that converts DNA into proteins—goes back decades. Early efforts to create mRNA vaccines failed, however, because the raw RNA was destroyed before it could generate the desired response. Our innate immune systems evolved to kill RNA strands because that’s what many viruses are.

[[File:Covid Brazil.jpg|center|thumb| [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-56696907 By Nathalia Passarinho and Luis Barrucho BBC Brazil April 15 2021]]] More than a year into the pandemic, deaths in Brazil are now at their peak. But despite the overwhelming evidence that Covid-19 rarely kills young children, in Brazil 1,300 babies have died from the virus. One doctor refused to test Jessika Ricarte's one-year-old son for Covid, saying his symptoms did not fit the profile of the virus. Two months later he died of complications from the disease.

|'''New stars on the American flag? Fresh hope as Puerto Rico and DC push for statehood'''
[[File:DC puertoRico.jpg|center|thumb| [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/20/puerto-rico-washington-dc-statehood-politics The Guardian David Smith 2/20/2021]]]But with the impetus of last summer’s protests against racial injustice, and the election of a Democratic president, one of those territories – Puerto Rico – is aiming to become the 51st state of the union. A parallel effort by Washington, District of Columbia (DC), is also closer than ever to its similar goal.

Two of India’s richest men have landed in an unlikely controversy over farming laws, becoming targets of protesters who allege the tycoons have benefited from their close links to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The new farm legislation, passed in September, will allow private companies to buy produce directly from farmers, moving from the decades-old system of state-run wholesale buyers and markets that guaranteed a minimum support price. India’s top court last week barred the implementation of the law until the court decides on the matter.

Major changes in the biosphere are directly linked to the growth of human systems (summarized in Figure 1). While the rapid loss of species and populations differs regionally in intensity (Ceballos et al., 2015, 2017, 2020; Díaz et al., 2019), and most species have not been adequately assessed for extinction risk (Webb and Mindel, 2015), certain global trends are obvious. Since the start of agriculture around 11,000 years ago, the biomass of terrestrial vegetation has been halved (Erb et al., 2018), with a corresponding loss of >20% of its original biodiversity (Díaz et al., 2019), together denoting that >70% of the Earth's land surface has been altered by Homo sapiens (IPBES, 2019). There have been >700 documented vertebrate (Díaz et al., 2019) and ~600 plant (Humphreys et al., 2019) species extinctions over the past 500 years, with many more species clearly having gone extinct unrecorded (Tedesco et al., 2014). Population sizes of vertebrate species that have been monitored across years have declined by an average of 68% over the last five decades (WWF, 2020), with certain population clusters in extreme decline (Leung et al., 2020), thus presaging the imminent extinction of their species

The investigative collaborative — which relies on both paid and volunteer researchers combing through “open-source” digital data available to anyone with the right searching skills — has been responsible for several eye-popping scoops: pinning the crash of a Malaysian airliner in Ukraine to a Russian missile, unmasking spies supposedly behind the poisoning of a Russian double agent in England and dissecting the racist motives of the Christchurch, New Zealand, mosque mass shooter.

But that’s not the end of the story. There are still legions of activists working to get the bill across the finish line. They’ll keep at it when the next Congress is seated in January, with an eye toward protecting 30% of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.

It’s happening all over again. For months, Americans who despaired about the country’s coronavirus-suppression efforts looked desperately to the arrival of a vaccine for a kind of pandemic deliverance. Now that it has arrived, miraculously fast, we are failing utterly to administer it with anything like the urgency the pace of dying requires — and, perhaps most maddeningly, failing in precisely the same way as we did earlier in the year. That is, out of apparent, near-total indifference.

There is some truth to this insistence. But it is mostly disingenuous. The Constitution was meant to foster a complex form of majority rule, not enable minority rule.
The founding generation was deeply skeptical of what it called “pure” democracy and defended the American experiment as “wholly republican.” To take this as a rejection of democracy misses how the idea of government by the people, including both a democracy and a republic, was understood when the Constitution was drafted and ratified. It misses, too, how we understand the idea of democracy today.
