#Dutton has now realised #Trump isn’t a suitable model for #Australian #politics, no matter what his #billionaire acquaintances such as #GinaRinehart say.

Australian voters broadly think American politics is nuts at the best of times and menacingly #toxic under Trump. Why vote for a wannabe Trump here?” #auspol

The Guardian · Dutton’s backflipping and clumsy delivery has him spiralling in the polls. What happened?By Malcolm Farr

#toxic stuff:
Recently, my shaver broke, and for situations like this, I had an older electric shaver in a box. Which... also didn't work any more, so that didn't help. But curiously, I noted that the older shaver still had a Nickel Cadmium battery. Which is... one of the many toxic things we used to have around us, and we no longer have. and I think this is an underappreciated fact and a success of reasonable regulation. 🧵

#Wildfires, including the #EatonFire & #PalisadesFire, have significant repercussions on #marine #ecosystems. The ash & debris from these fires can enter waterways & eventually the #ocean, altering nutrient levels & fostering conditions favorable to the growth of harmful #AlgalBlooms. The #toxic byproducts from these fires can exacerbate #OceanWarming, further promoting the frequency of these toxic blooms. This can lead to increased production of #DomoicAcid.

#Aluminum is a ubiquitous material that promises ease and convenience. But the #extraction of its raw material, #bauxite, and its processing into aluminum destroy vast tracts of old-growth #forest. The energy-intensive production of aluminum typically relies on powerful #hydroelectric dams that often flood the lands of #Indigenous communities. Red mud, a #toxic waste product of aluminum refining, is a serious environmental hazard.

"Water from the #RedRiver flows through #LakeWinnipeg on its journey to #HudsonBay. Lake Winnipeg is huge—the world’s 11th largest freshwater lake by surface area (even larger than Lake Ontario and about the same as Lake Erie) and has the world’s largest ‘lakeshed’, i.e. area of land draining to a lake. It supports a large commercial and sport fishery for several fish species including walleye, which are a peculiar green color there due to the mineral content of the water."

"The #water_quality in Lake Winnipeg is tanking because of “rapidly increased #livestock production and use of synthetic #fertilizer in the Red River Valley, with smaller contributions of phosphorus from the city of Winnipeg and other human development in the Red and Winnipeg River basins .” Nutrient-driven #toxic #algae blooms have doubled in size since the 1990s due to increases in Red River phosphorus levels, a common component of livestock manure."

#Biden said this plant was a #health threat. #Trump dropped a lawsuit against it

The #DOJ on Friday dropped a landmark lawsuit alleging that #cancer-causing #pollution from a Louisiana #petrochemical plant poses an imminent danger to nearby communities.

The lawsuit alleged that the #Denka Performance Elastomer plant in #LaPlace, Louisiana, threatened local residents by releasing unsafe levels of the #toxic chemical #chloroprene.

#Butterflies in the #US are disappearing at a ‘catastrophic’ rate
Butterflies are rapidly fluttering out of existence from coast to coast at a rate that scientists worry could upend #ecosystems & undercut #pollination that sustains America’s #crops.
The total number of butterflies in the contiguous US has declined 22% over a 20yr period, as shrinking #habitat, rising #temperatures & a #toxic array of #pesticides kill off the delicate insects.
