It's a bit cold outside this morning in middle America... Aren't you glad you aren't heating your home with a solar panel like nitwit Socialist @AOC is demanding? ~ @gatewaypundit Do Solar Panels work in the cold? YES! Solar Panels work by absorbing LIGHT from the sun, not heat. In fact, the chemical reactions that occur within the solar panels are more efficient at cooler temperatures. Also, white snow can act like a mirror to reflect MORE light onto them. ~ @TheSpaceGal

"Forest" Artist: Jamie Mills By creating a room of encased fragments of the landscape, Jamie Mills suggests both the commodification of the "natural" environment and its hyper-management.

(2 of 2) Are We in the Midst of a Sixth Mass Extinction? Other Threatened Life: The Tip of a Vast Unknown. Only fractions of known species in these nine groups have been evaluated. Because assessments have focused on species likely to be in danger, the proportion of each group that is threatened may be overstated. Meanwhile, the number of unknown species may be in the millions, or tens of millions--many times that of what has been discovered.
(1 of 2) Are We in the Midst of a Sixth Mass Extinction? A Tally of Life Under Threat. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has evaluated 52,205 species, depicted here, for their ability to survive. Each symbol represents 100 species assessed (red is threatened, black is not threatened): 13% of birds assessed are threatened. 25% of mammals assessed are threatened. 41% of amphibians assessed are threatened.
