This warmth is destined to end when the next continental ice mass arrives, and the exact time has not yet been announced by nature. Although postglacial warming is generally viewed as a positive, climate alarmists would have us believe that future warming will have catastrophic effects on ecosystems. nonsense. First, there is…
Isaacman's space experience is groundbreaking, combining civilian leadership with cutting-edge space exploration and technology testing. He is the best person to lead this agency.

The team also tested an advanced extravehicular space suit that could be a prototype for future interstellar travel. The mission was led and funded by billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, who performed the spacewalk.…
Author: Mark Krebs and Tom Tanton “We sincerely hope that the incoming Trump administration, the Department of Energy, the newly created National Energy Board and/or its Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) will use these resources to consider what to reform and scrap.” The incoming Trump administration is committed to curbing inflation and the deep (administrative) state, acknowledging that energy is main resource. The eponymous blog was founded in 2007 to demonstrate the importance of a free-market style of energy exceptionalism. Politicized “energy efficiency” policies increase costs and limit consumer choice, thus requiring government enforcement and subsidies. The authors and subjects…

heartland institute Investigative reporters at Project Veritas have a new scoop. President Biden's Environmental Protection Agency is reacting to the impending loss of power by funneling tens of billions in tax dollars to left-wing “green” nonprofits. “We're throwing the gold bars off the Titanic,” said Brent Efron, EPA's special adviser for implementation. “We're taking the money out. Again, it's your money.” In episode 137 of The Climate Reality Show, the Heartland Institute's H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, and Linnea Lueken report on this shocking story. They'll also cover “Crazy Climate News of the Week,” including how gamers are “fighting climate…
Vox recently published an article titled “Scientists are measuring burps and farts. It could help save the planet. Target C is crucial. [emphasis, links added] This is wrong. Methane associated with animals poses no threat to the environment and has a minimal impact on global warming. The article draws heavily on work by scientists in Colombia, who measured the amount of methane produced in burps and gases by different farm animals, depending on the type of feed they ate, to determine the feed that produced the least methane. Place animals indoors and monitor their emissions. Vox wrote: The chambers are…

The official's comments paint a shocking picture of an agency putting speed over caution, all to avoid political roadblocks. His cavalier attitude suggests the real motivation is not to save the planet but to protect their funding from potential Republican oversight. Gold bars on the Titanic: a shameful admission The official explained it all with the metaphor of “throwing gold bars from the Titanic.” An EPA employee acknowledged…
