We're Toast 7

This post is a collection of links that support my increasingly strong feeling that the human race (or at least our technological civilization) is doomed. It is part of an ongoing series of posts.

Climate Change and Environment

• A World Without Clouds. Loss of clouds could make climate change worse.
• Heaven or High Water. How Miami is trying to deal with rising sea levels.
• Permafrost collapse is accelerating carbon release. It might double. 
• Fox News Is Desperately Trying to Convince Us That Climate Science Isn't Real. The world would be a better place without Fox News.
• Deepest ever dive finds plastic bag at bottom of Mariana Trench.
• Atmospheric Methane Levels Are Going Up — And No One Knows Why. Not good news, considering methane is a much more dangerous greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
• Now Ocean Plastics Could Be Killing Oxygen-Making Bacteria. This is not good.

Politics

• How Sovereign Citizens Helped Swindle $1 Billion from the Government They Disavow. They are a cancer on society.
• The Next Reckoning: Capitalism and Climate Change. As long as corporations are allowed to behave like psychopaths, we are in deep trouble.

Technology

• Technology to End Humanity–And How to Stop It.
• Is Science Broken? Major New Report Outlines Problems in Research. Why we can't have nice things.
• If the Old River Control Structure Fails: A Catastrophe With Global Impact. We had better hope that the Army Corps of Engineers know what they are doing.
