Interesting from IPCC SROCC report: “Globally, it is estimated that about 33,700 km2 of land has been gained from the sea during the last 30 years (about 50% more than has been lost), with the biggest gains being due to land reclamation in places like Dubai, Singapore and China”

- IPCC SROCC clearly treats RCP8.5 as BAU: “Under unmitigated emissions (RCP8.5), coastal societies, especially poorer, rural and small islands societies, will struggle to maintain their livelihoods and settlements during the 21st century.”2 replies3 retweets12 likes
- Also includes projected SLR based on postulated 5 deg C global temp increase form 2100, as comparison to RCP8.5 (“unmitigated emission” aka BAU)
All problematic from the standpoint of policy/risk

Trump Administration Begins Deporting Mexicans Farther From Border, Making Reentry Harder | The Daily Caller
Trump Administration Begins Deporting Mexicans Farther From Border, Making Reentry Harder | The Daily Caller:
The U.S. has begun deporting Mexican nationals deep into the interior of their country, making illegal reentry that much more difficult — and immigration enforcement officials have not ruled out deporting them as far as Guatemala.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the government of Mexico announced the relaunch of the Interior Repatriation Initiative Thursday. Under the auspices of the agreement, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations will fly Mexican nationals hundreds of miles within Mexican territory, in lieu of simply repatriating them a few miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.

"...Just this year, Venezuela has faced shortages in toilet paper, diapers and milk (and more) forcing more than 6,000 people to cross the border in Colombia to purchase necessities.
The country had to ration its electricity use because of severe power shortages.
It also could no longer afford to print its own money.
Come 2016, the IMF forecasts Venezuela’s inflation rate to exceed 1,600%.

Democrats didn't want to impeach Trump? Is anyone buying it?
However, a Washington Post article from nearly three years ago on Feb. 24, 2017, told a much different story.
The article highlighted a poll from the Public Religion Research Institute that found that a majority of Democrats — 58% — supported impeaching Trump just five weeks into his presidency.

First I voted for Hillary five times in three different states and half of my dead relatives did also. Then the Schiff-head and the Rama-lama-ding-dong squad told me they got rid of the bad orange man.

I'm so very confused. I have to go back to my safe space and have a kale salad."

Study Finds Only 1.3% of Overdose Victims Had Opioid Prescription — Pain News Network
"It’s long been a popular belief that prescription opioids fueled the nation’s opioid crisis and play a major role in overdose deaths. The CDC’s 2016 opioid guideline says as much.
“Sales of opioid pain medication have increased in parallel with overdose deaths,” the guideline states. “Having a history of an opioid prescription is one of many factors that increase risk for overdose.”
But a new study by researchers in Massachusetts has turned that theory on its head.
Prescription opioids are usually not involved in overdoses.
And even when they are, the overdose victim rarely has an active prescription for them – meaning the medications were diverted, stolen or bought on the street.
“Commonly the medication that people are prescribed is not the one that’s present when they die. And vice versa.
The people who died with a prescription opioid like oxycodone in their toxicology screen often don’t have a prescription for it,” says lead author Alexander Walley, MD, a researcher at Boston Medical Center and Associate Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine..."
