EPA rule will erase Biden-era rule limiting power plants’ carbon emissions. Message to industry: Burn what you want. The climate can eat it. People can lump it. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Environmental Protection Agency was created to, among other things, protect Americans from pollution. Under Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, it is being repurposed as something closer to a concierge service for polluters. In the latest installment of its efforts to gut environmental regulations, the regime reportedly will today issue its final rule that erases federal limits on carbon pollution from fossil-fuel power plants. Electricity generation is already the nation’s second
The abrupt collapse of part of a glacier in Nepal and the resulting cataclysm catches our attention. But the slower, far more disastrous retreat of most of Earth’s glaciers doesn’t grab us. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More than a few reporters were only able to describe the ferocious catastrophe that killed hundreds in Nepal by comparing it to a scene from an apocalyptic movie. They had no real-life reference, and the hoary cliché “it looked like a war zone” has been rubbed smooth by overuse. OMG! no matter how many exclamation points are attached doesn’t begin to cut it. Anyone who has seen the videos of water, mud, boulders, and debris speeding down the valley lahar-like — enveloping landscape, buildings, a
Nat’l Security Minister Ben-Givr says Israel should kill 30 to 40 Gazans every night because some of them are ‘not even people’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itamar Ben-Givr isn’t just a random person on the street spouting off. He’s in the Netanyahu government’s war cabinet serving as Israel’s National Security Minister. That’s kind of like U.S. Homeland Security. But his broad portfolio covers police, border police, the prison system, firefighting and rescue services, and civilian firearms licensing. It’s a powerful post. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich—who also has a secondary role that gives him control over West Bank civilians—and Ben-Givr are
Colorado River Blues: Decades of warnings sparked no serious response. Now a megadrought and the climate crisis are forcing gigantic cuts in water allocations to the states that depend on them (opens the original)

“The Colorado (River) Basin, then, is a few years away from permanent drought, and it will have to make do with whatever nature decrees the flow shall be.” — Marc Reisner, Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water (1986) “Mní wičhóni” — Lakota for “water is life.”Summer 1982, after three decades living in Colorado, much of that time spent outdoors, I finally joined seven friends and acquaintances for something I had always wanted to do. For 16 days, we alternately paddled gen
Trump’s Ballroom and Arch? Hitler laughs. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump, our Outlaw Prez, loves him some dictators. He envies the power exerted by Vlad Putin, Xi Jinping, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Kim Jong Un, Victor Orbán, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Rodrigo Duterte, Mohammed bin Salman and Nayib Bukele. He’s had good things to say about all of them. He wants to be them. Like many dictators, Trump loves grandiose, historically inauthentic, and overly theatrical architecture. He favors monumentality over subtlety, heavy ornamentation, polished stone and gold fini
