For years, the deadliest flash floods in the nation hit the Guadeloupe River, one of Texas's major holiday recreation areas, earlier Friday, July 4. A wall swept away vehicles and campers and piled up campgrounds on Friday’s hour near Sunrise and caused a heart-warming tragedy on Friday. According to the Associated Press, at least 27 people died as of noon on Saturday, including nine children. Many others are still missing, including 27 people from Mystic camp, a summer camp that has been operating along the Guadeloupe River for nearly a century. Floods were facilitated by heavy rains from the thunderstorm…
Over the past two working days, the Biden administration's energy department has signed nearly $42 billion in green energy projects – a payment exceeding the total released by its LPO Office (LPO) over the past decade. [emphasis, links added] LPO blocked a spending frenzy during a frenzy of January 16-17, 2025 after Vice President Kamala Harris' death in November, which approved at least $93 billion in current and future spending. It seems Biden officials are eager to deploy billions of dollars to approved funds in the hopes of the incoming Trump administration seeking money redirected from clean energy projects. Despite…
In the article “Climate Change: How Heat Waves Impact the Power Grid” Sustainability Magazine (SM) Climate change claimed to be artificially caused is increasing the frequency and intensity of heat waves, which is said to increase the growth of the power grid worldwide. [emphasis, links added] This statement is highly misleading at best and is completely false at worst. The data does not support the view that heat waves increase frequency or intensity on a global scale. Instead, there is evidence that local temperature rises, especially in urban areas where power grids are concentrated, are driven primarily by urban heat…
Transcript: Summer barbecue can be a good time to catch up with friends and relatives, but it can feel stressful when you don’t see topics like climate change. You may hear someone dismissing the question or repeating the misinformation they read online, what they might say at these moments. But Philip Newell, who is climate action against the disinformation coalition, has some tips. Newell: “First of all you can do is talk about climate action, like it’s popular because it’s so.” Research shows that most Americans support climate solutions such as renewable energy, but many of them underestimate how many…
The EPA signed an open letter under the Trump administration to sign the agency's energy advantage agenda and directions, which will immediately take effect of 144 officials. [emphasis, links added] EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said the action is part of a zero-tolerance policy for employees who are trying to undermine the agency’s policies. Zeldin stressed that most EPA employees are committed to implementing Trump’s EPA agenda, and the letter represents the views of a few. The EPA said officials will continue to take leave. Zeldin's fierce action on Thursday sent a clear message to EPA staff that the government would…
Americans heading to northern Florida or the southeastern coast of the United States will be wise to focus on the possible tropical harassment that may develop during the upcoming holiday weekend. The main impact may be heavy rain (mostly at sea), but tropical weather will always be surprised on the sleeves. This time last year, it was Hurricane Greenland, an unexpected rapid enhancer that hit the Windward Island with 4 types of intensity, causing catastrophic damage. Berill then became the earliest 5th Category storm in the eastern Caribbean on July 2. After Beryl's ending behavior weakened the tropical storm in…
As usual, mainstream media lost collective thoughts by the idea of taxing solar and wind energy, due to the provisions contained on the Thousand Pages of the Big and Beautiful Act. [emphasis, links added] What is important here is that experts’ complaints about it clearly do not understand what energy means in the context of public policy. First, we need to remember that “energy” can depend on the problem at hand. If you ask the electrical engineer what “energy” is, he might specifically describe the voltage itself and how it travels, but can't go further. But in such public policy…

The Berlin Constitutional Court has announced that it is possible to accept a referendum on “No Berlin Auto”, paving the way for a possible substantial reduction in auto traffic. [emphasis, links added] The court held that the purpose of promoting health and climate protection was a legitimate legislative goal and that the draft does not infringe on fundamental rights. There is no constitutional right to use the road. The intention of the initiative is a car-free center of Berlin, where private travel will be limited to only 12 per person. For police, emergency services and people with reduced mobility, the…
Recent polls have shown that the move is unpopular when the Trump administration takes steps to remove climate research from NASA, NOAA, EPA and other agencies. In May 2025, registered voters were asked whether they support or oppose government orders to stop research on global warming. Voters were also asked whether they supported the directive to prevent federal agencies from sharing information about global warming with the public. The vast majority of voters said they opposed efforts to close climate science and exchanges. This poll is part of an ongoing study on Americans’ perspectives on climate change conducted by Yale…
