Emperor penguins are giving up on long held breeding ground as tougher storms, stronger winds and rising sea levels change the already unforgiving landscape in Antarctica. My story: courthousenews.com/study-finds-pe…
@CourthouseNews
According to the report, the population of penguins isnt dropping. But these magnificent birds gave up a colony that was long considered the second largest emperor colony in the world.

They have largely migrated to another nearby site. But while they have made their exodus...
The research makes it clear:
"Understanding how emperor penguins react to sea-ice loss will be of crucial importance if one is to predict the fate of the species over coming decades."

As ranking member, Rep. Johnson of Louisiana has been given the floor by other Republicans on the committee today and left to ask the Qs.
Johnson: The word "sex" in the federal civ rights law includes self professed gender identity, does sex in ERA includes gender identity?
Sullivan: ERA prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. If there's discrimination on basis of sex in the treatment of LGBTQ+, then that will count as unconstitutional under ERA.
The proper textual reading does include discrimination on orientation or transgender identity, she adds.
Dr. Spearman says she agrees. On the basis of sex, gender identity is a new way of saying "this is who I am."

The 19th Amendment, - the right to vote regardless of sex - was never expanded beyond voting boundaries. ERA would prohibit ALL discrimination. - Sullivan notes.
Spearman, who is black, a woman and a veteran adds: Whether its about sexism, racism, or homophobia, "we always parse words about whether someone has the right to equality. " Civil rights in the US were ratified because "it was the right thing to do."
The #ERA should be considered in the same light, Spearman says.

Let me make a few clear points that really need to be made about this #ExtinctionRebelion gibberish. Firstly, it’s a left wing pushed illegal protesting with the ultimate aim of destroying capitalism. The irony in that is most capitalist nations have the lowest carbon footprints
Secondly, the demands placed on the government was to make changes by 2025 - a commitment they’ve already made. These illegal protests are disturbing the lives of people that can’t afford the time and money they are losing because of these individuals actions.
Making huge traffic jams will also make the situation WORSE so the actions taken are actually detrimental to the cause they are trying to promote immediate actions to reverse/resolve. So far there’s just shy of 200 arrests.

1. Should you trust what Climate 'Scientists' and the Media say about Climate Change?
2. Do we REALLY have 12-years left to avert global climate catastrophe?
3. Should we be instilling fear into our children that the planet is doomed?

In its latest attempt to diminish science, the Trump admin released the Fourth National Climate Assessment on a holiday weekend when they thought no one was paying attention. But make no mistake - we noticed, and will not let them stand in the way of real climate action. #NCA4
The National Climate Assessment is too important to ignore. Every day until @HouseDemocrats take back the Majority, I will be sharing findings from #NCA4. Please like and RT to amplify the significance of #ClimateChange and how it affects us all. #ClimateCrisisCountdown
As the top Democrat on the @SciCmteDems Environment Subcommittee, I take my responsibility seriously to #DefendScience and protect our environment. To start the #ClimateCrisisCountdown, I am going to share a few of the most staggering facts from the #NCA4

Was going to do that '1 like = 1 F1 opinion' but that seemed a bit off brand, so:

For every like this tweet gets I will tweet about a weird electric vehicle
Ok, so, you've heard of that one South African guy who makes electric cars but you probably haven't heard of the Optimal Energy Joule, a Cape Town project that never went to commercial production. Designed by the guy who did the F-Type, it collapsed as a project in 2012:
This one you can actually buy, despite looking like a retrofuristic concept, so long as you have a very large amount of cash. It's the Mercedes Maybach Vision which is one of the weirdest cars I've ever seen - there's basically nothing in that enormous bonnet and it's 2.2m long
