________________
The combined efforts of human beings to dig up and burn fossil fuels to power our global industrialized economy is taking place at least ten times faster than the catastrophic carbon release that drove the world's worst-ever mass extinction [the end-Permian]. At no point since complex life appeared on Earth has so much carbon been released as quickly as we are releasing it now.

That's from page 259 of Mark Lynas's non-fiction book, "Our Final Warning: Six Degrees of Climate Emergency," which I've just finished reading.

Statement from the American Foreign Service Association: https://afsa.org/afsa-statement-suspension-voas-steve-herman-twitter #Twitter
"In one study, researchers concluded that people living in more-conservative parts of the United States disproportionately bore the burden of illness and death linked to covid-19. The other, which looked at health outcomes more broadly, found that the more conservative a state’s policies, the shorter the lives of working-age people."
