"Earth's Greatest Catastrophes Seem to Follow a Mysterious 27-Million-Year Pulse

Mass extinctions. Giant volcanic eruptions. Oceans suddenly deprived of oxygen.

At first glance, Earth's biggest geological disasters seem to have little in common beyond their sheer scale.

But for decades, scientists have wondered whether these seemingly unrelated events might actually follow a hidden rhythm stretching back hundreds of millions of years.

The possibility that Earth's geological history follows a long-term rhythm has been debated for decades.

The idea dates back to studies published in the 1980s, when researchers first proposed that mass extinctions and other major geological events might recur at regular intervals. Earlier studies identified similar periodic patterns, but the idea has remained controversial.

Now, an analysis published in *Evolving Earth* revisits that evidence using updated geological timescales and statistical methods."

A time of catastrophes and polycrisis

We have developed the capacity to do indirect harm by altering conditions necessary for survival. It is a closure of the human climate niche (the conditions that sustain human life).

On 40th Anniversary Of #LiveAid, #BobGeldof Denounces “#Thuggery” Of #Trump, #Vance, #Musk As He Questions Why Charity Has Become “Almost An Embarrassment”

By Max Goldbart
June 30, 2025 1:18am

"Bob Geldof didn’t mince words about those in charge across the pond as he celebrated 40 years of Live Aid.

" 'The thuggery of Musk, and Vance and Trump, this confederacy of dunces, these abject #fools,' he said at an event launching a set of BBC Live Aid shows late last week.

"Geldof was bemoaning how rather than upping charity as the world flounders under several generational #catastrophes, the response from the U.S. and others has been to 'cut it off.'

" 'These ketamine-crazed narcissists swing their f**king hedge trimmers around their heads and say, this weekend, we’re feeding #USAID to the wood chipper,' he added of the end of the U.S. Agency for International Development. 'Seriously, the strongest nation on Earth, the most powerful man on the planet, and the richest individual ever seen in the history of our world… cackle, over feeding U.S. help to the weakest, #MostVulnerable people in the world into the wood chipper. Ladies and gentlemen, there is something seriously f**ked about that.' " [Well said!!!]

Comment nos émotions influencent-elles nos réponses aux catastrophes?

Destructions of #climatechange become increasingly clear, backed up by #science. Societies must prepare for more severe weather #catastrophes, while leading #insurance companies adapt their risk models. In 2024 natural #disasters caused losses of $320bn. Those losses were much higher than the inflation-adjusted averages of the past 30 years. In terms of insured losses, it was the 3rd most expensive year. #Weather catastrophes were responsible for 97% of insured losses: https://www.munichre.com/en/company/media-relations/media-information-and-corporate-news/media-information/2025/natural-disaster-figures-2024.html

Donc désormais tous les événements graves impliquant la météo sont des "#catastrophes climatiques" du #réchauffement voire #dérèglement climatique". Plus besoin de s'interroger sur quoi que ce soit d'autre. Quand la paresse intellectuelle ("#consensus") décrète comme "#science" l'inutilité de la réflexion, de la confrontation de vues, de l'observation, de l'analyse critique...
Plus besoin de tout ça.
Là, je pense que ces "il suffit de" rejoignent le "quoi qu'il en coûte".

A #birdflu #pandemic would be one of the most foreseeable #catastrophes in history, https://www.ekathimerini.com/nytimes/1255081/a-bird-flu-pandemic-would-be-one-of-the-most-foreseeable-catastrophes-in-history/

We do have 1 thing. Biden is president for another 7 wks or so. ...He could start taking risks as seriously as he'd have when cattle infections were discovered. We could get serious about mandatory testing of cows, milk & farmworkers & about isolating infected cattle herds – Could speed up development of vaccine that’s already in works for cows & expedite all precautions for humans.

With #humanitarian #catastrophes unfolding on several continents,
the response of the #wealthy #world has been to 💥demand tighter borders and higher fences.

⚠️There is no blockbuster charity single raising money for starving refugees from the civil war raging in Sudan.
🆘And now, the cruel taunts come not just from schoolyard bullies and cranks on the political fringes, but from the lips of a man who stood on the presidential debate stage on Tuesday -- a former president who once again has a coin-flip shot at regaining the most powerful office in the world.

And so I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised by that lowest of moments at the debate,
when Donald Trump repeated a vile, baseless claim that Haitian immigrants were killing and eating household pets in Springfield, Ohio.

This allegation appears to stem from viral social media posts and statements at public meetings.
It was picked up by some of the most rancid figures at the #fringe of the #MAGA-verse,
then quickly hopscotched from there to a social media post by Trump’s running mate, JD #Vance,
and finally to the debate stage, sputtered by #Trump himself.

There is something particularly #insidious about this claim,
uttered at this time, from that stage.
#Food and #pets are, to use a Freudian term, highly overdetermined #symbols in our political life.

They are capable of receiving and holding a multiplicity of very potent meanings, transmitting deep messages about #identity and #belonging.

You can tell how powerful this type of slur is by how quickly and vociferously it has animated so many on the right.

Figures who flirt with the mainstream have eagerly jumped into the fray.

The conservative culture warrior #Christopher #Rufo has offered a $5,000 bounty for anyone who can find proof that a Haitian immigrant had in fact eaten a cat.

It is not hard to imagine how this could quickly escalate into #vigilante #violence against Haitians in America.

On Thursday, city officials in Springfield, most of whom have pushed back against the false allegations, said they had received #bomb #threats, prompting the evacuation of city buildings.

MAGA bigotry is far more #sinister and #dangerous than weird.

And disbelieving laughter could,
I fear, blind us to moments like this, when truly unacceptable lines are crossed
