The price of Cuomo's endorsement from Musk? $959 million in public funds. This is the plutocratic vicious cycle exposed: Politicians drain the treasury for billionaires, who then buy political power. Accountability shifts from citizens to the donor class.

Wildfire climate connection. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration https://www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfire/wildfire-climate-connection Research shows that changes in climate create warmer, drier conditions, leading to longer and more active fire seasons. Increases in temperatures and the thirst of the atmosphere due to human--caused climate change have increased aridity of forest fuels during the fire season. These drivers were found to be responsible for over half the observed decrease in the moisture content of fuels in western U.S. forests from 1979 to 2015, and the doubling of forest fire burned area over the period 1984-2015. For much of the U.S. West, projections show C' that an average annual 1 degree C temperature increase would increase the median burned area per year by as much as 600% @' in some types of forests. In the Southeastern United States modeling suggests increased fire risk and a longer fire season, with at least a 30 percent increase from 2011 in the area burned by lightning-ignited wildfire by 2060.

Wildfires require the alignment of a number of factors, including temperature, humidity, and the lack of moisture in fuels, such as trees, shrubs, grasses, and forest debris. All these factors have strong direct or indirect ties to climate variability and climate change. A 2016 study found enhanced the drying of organic matter and doubled the number of large fires between 1984 and 2015 O' in the western United States. A 2021 study supported by NOAA concluded that climate change has been the main driver of the increase in fire weather ' in the western United States. Drought and persistent heat set the stage for extraordinary wildfire seasons from 2020 to 2022 across many western states, with all three years far surpassing the average of 1.2 million acres burned since 2016.

himself has quoted Mao's description of the United Front as one of the communists' "magic weapons," and has elevated the United Front's role in the party, an expansion that has included adding 40,000 staff to the department and absorbing three government agencies, according to Gerry Groot, a China- studies lecturer at Australia's University of Adelaide. Last August, Xi made a direct appeal to ethnic Chinese residents of countries like Canada - what Beijing calls the "overseas Chinese" - urging them to "remember the call from the Party and the people, spread China's voice, support the country's development, safeguard national interests."
