WASHINGTON—With almost all respondents claiming there is no agony greater than anticipation, a new Gallup poll released Tuesday found that 94%of the nation would rather live in an authoritarian dictatorship than wait 10 more minutes for election results. “I would much prefer to be subjected to the cruel whims of an autocratic megalomaniac than wait any longer for the final election outcome,” said Georgia resident Chris Mitchell, who, along with a nearly unanimous majority of Americans, expressed a willingness to be dragged from his house by government agents in the dead of night and disappeared if it would result in a shorter period of uncertainty. “Being forced to do hard labor in a concentration camp? Sign me up if it means I could finally find out who won this damn thing. Feed me propaganda, shoot dissidents in the street, do away with elections…

The first nine days of hunting in the Montana general hunting season saw less hunters in the west-central region of the state, but a better success rate than in the previous four years, according to the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. From the three check stations, the department checked through 3,131 hunters, with 1,388 coming through the Darby Check Station over two weekends. For the region, 118 elk were taken, along with 24 mule deer and 87 white-tailed deer. At Darby, the totals were 85 elk, 12 mule deer and 15 white-tailed deer. The Darby station also checked through one goat and one wolf. The success rate for the Bitterroot hunters was 8.2 percent, up from 7.9 percent last year and only 6.2 percent the year before.

It’s hard not to draw parallels between the United States’s botched responses to coronavirus and climate change. Both are pressing threats to the wellbeing of the general public that were largely ignored by those in power until the last possible minute. But there is more that connects the two than the government’s disastrous mismanagement. Anew study published last weekby the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) found that pandemics and other widespread diseases have become more common due to human activity that has destroyed parts of the natural world. That upward trend, the study predicts, will continue until climate change is adequately addressed.https://a5e4bcb25ac9e5969bea4f99918e7add.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html

The study found that there are an estimated 1.7 million “undiscovered” viruses, or viruses that we do not yet know or understand, that exist within the animal kingdom among mammals…

You didn’t think we were going to go an entire day without news of another environmental time-bomb, ticking away in another distant part of the world, did you? FromThe Guardian:

High levels of the potent greenhouse gas have been detected down to a depth of 350 metres in the Laptev Sea nearRussia, prompting concern among researchers that a new climate feedback loop may have been triggered that could accelerate the pace of global heating. The slope sediments in the Arctic contain a huge quantity of frozen methane and other gases – known as hydrates. Methane has a warming effect 80 times stronger than carbon dioxide over 20 years. The United States Geological Survey has…
