Article by Eric Worrell If renewables are the cheapest form of energy, why does the EU need a carbon border tax to protect EU industry? Q&A: Can the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism help combat climate change? The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been hailed as a key policy to reduce emissions from heavy industry such as steel and cement production. The EU says taxing carbon-intensive imports will help its domestic companies take ambitious climate action while still remaining competitive with companies in countries with less stringent environmental laws.

New research published by Dr. Bellut-Staeck in the journal Medical Research and Applications shows that long-term exposure to infrasound waves may cause serious blood vessel problems. This supports similar conclusions reached by earlier literature. [emphasis, links added] But the government refused to accept the results. Wind turbines are known to disturb wildlife and severely damage surrounding habitats, and, although inaudible, It is known that the low-frequency vibrations produced by wind turbines can be harmful to human health. Humans can only perceive sound waves in the range of approximately 20 to 20,000 Hz. Sound waves below 20 Hz are inaudible to…

Nate Scherer The fight against climate change is increasingly filled with feel-good attempts by lawmakers to save the planet through top-down regulations that do nothing to effectively lower global temperatures or reduce pollution. However, these “feel-good” regulations have a common habit of hurting consumers by eliminating popular goods and services or raising their prices. The latest example of such regulations comes from California, where state lawmakers recently passed a second plastic grocery bag ban after the first attempt failed. The first ban, SB 270, took effect in 2014 and prohibited grocery stores from handing out single-use plastic bags at checkout…

CBS claimed that recent Hurricane Helene “brought tropical flooding to inland areas that are…
