The group just picked up a grant from the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Shelter Rock of $100,000, an amount they say is the “country’s single largest philanthropic investment in emergency climate action.” [more; yeah? waddiyagonna DO with it?]<br /><br />Trump’s Environmental Rollbacks Put Thousands of Lives at Risk, Harvard Analysis Finds<br />https://insideclimatenews.org/news/13062018/trump-epa-air-pollution-data-clean-water-regulations-public-health-environmental-laws-harvard-study<br /><br />The authors used EPA’s own risk assessments to estimate the number of illnesses and early deaths prevented by clean air and water rules Trump is now trying to erase.

"Olivine is formed in hot and deep magmas and is brought up to the surface during an eruption."

It was that feeling like when you are at the top of a rollercoaster and you've just gone over the edge of the peak and you start heading down. <br /><br />"It was an absolute sense of losing your stomach and that we were nosediving.

Lower interest rates make it less expensive to borrow money, and therefore economic activity tends to expand in a low interest rate environment. Alternatively, higher interest rates make it more expensive to borrow money, and economic activity tends to slow down in a high interest rate environment. Since 1913, the Federal Reserve has engaged in 18 previous rate hiking cycles, and every single one of them resulted in a huge stock market decline and/or a recession. It will be the same this time around as well, and the “experts” at the Federal Reserve know exactly what they are doing. Interest rates are being aggressively jacked up just in time for the 2018 mid-term elections, and that is very bad news for the Republican Party and the Trump administration.
