Democrats are relying on a recent memo from the Administration’s Accountability Agency to argue that President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans are unable to pass a bill that repeals Biden-era waivers that allow California to authorize electric vehicles in the state. [emphasis, links added] But legal experts say the memorandum (the author includes a well-known Dei activist) is not legally binding and relies on suspicious reasoning. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) (GAO) published earlier this month a memorandum earlier this month amid Democratic Senators Adam Schiff (California), Alex Padilla (California) and Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) demanded the issue. The memorandum then…
To implement legislation, New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill on December 26 called the “Climate Super Fund” Act. [emphasis, links added] The new state law blames a small number of energy producers on climate change and pays corresponding financial liability for damages that have been accused of in the past, or may occur in the future. It forces oil and gas companies to pay $75 billion in fines to the so-called “climate superfund.” New York is the second state to launch such a super fund. Vermont did so last July and it is fighting the law proposed…
Julius Sanks Back in 2005, Accuweather probably joined other commercial weather companies to convince former Senator Rick Santorum to introduce a bill, Chapter 786, the 109th Congress, to prevent NOAA and NWS from sharing data available to commercial vendors. The only support comes from the weather company. Most people think that means paying for weather data that taxpayers already funded – if they can even buy from suppliers. The bill did not receive a co-sponsor; the peer bill did not appear in the house either. It died on the committee. Does Accuweather try again using the 2025 project? The Heritage…
Germany's incoming prime minister faces allegations of betrayal of voters as bent over the left demands spending and climate to drive new defence spending. [emphasis, links added] Despite the agenda of the formerly ruled Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens were rejected by German voters in the federal election last month, After refusing a coalition with the German populist right alternative (AFD), Friedrich Merz, the boss of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which is said to be led by the central right, continues to meet their demands. Public broadcaster DW reported that the federal parliament would vote on changes to Germany's…
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the EPA from withdrawing about $20 billion in climate currency, and the Trump administration said the door was pushed open by the departing Biden administration. [emphasis, links added] U.S. District Court Judge Tanya S. Chutkan said the Environmental Protection Agency had “no legal reason” about why recipients who tried to make money or give the money a chance to object or challenge the decision. She issued a temporary restraining order against the EPA. “It is certain that agencies can decide to reevaluate their plans, or they can decide to terminate the agreement or federal…
Transcript: In the world's largest refugee camp, located in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, most people live in temporary housing built with bamboo and plastic tarpaulins. During the monsoon, these shelters are often damaged or destroyed, and as the climate is warming, these shelters are intensifying. In the heat wave, they become very hot. Jahan: “Because of poor ventilation in these houses, people living there often suffer from respiratory diseases, but also have heat-related diseases in the summer.” That was Farjana Jahan from the International Centre for Research on Diarrhea in Bangladesh. As part of the pilot project, her team built six…
No one knows Paul Homewood We will have to wait and see if this is just Kemi's window dressing or the first odd number in net zero armor. The real problem, however, is that Miliband will cause so much damage by 2030 that it will be impossible for us to reverse it in our lives. London, March 18, 2025 – The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) welcomes Kemi Badenoch's speech on her self-declared “net zero skepticism” and the need for climate policy reform. Benny Peiser, the outgoing director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, said: “Nigel Lawson would be happy…
The Conservative Party abandoned the “impossible” zero-2050 target in a major turnaround, overturning a long-standing consensus on solving a “climate emergency.” Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch delivered a major speech this morning illuminating why she abandoned the policy and refused to set new goals. This is the highlight. We rely on the inheritance of previous generations. For three centuries, every era in our country's history has left a better legacy for our children. The sacrifice of our ancestors laid the greatness of Britain. They build, innovate, make difficult decisions. They never assumed that prosperity was guaranteed, they guaranteed prosperity. But this…
From the Daily Caller Nick PoppContributors The Biden administration deliberately buried the final draft version of a study that would undermine its January 2024 decision to suspend approval of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects. Former Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and former President Joe Biden announced the liquefied natural gas freeze in January 2024, noting that it will remain in place until the DOE can conduct a comprehensive study of the climate and economic impacts of LNG export growth. Biden Doe finally finalized the draft study in 2023 and then buried it because the initial version of the discovery would…
Roger Pielke Jr. Honest broker Replace with a guest post by Mike Smith, worth reading. This is a guest post by Mike Smith. He is a very successful scientist and entrepreneur with more than 30 US and foreign patents, awards from three professional societies, and his publication record in the field of severe thunderstorms. He told me that his proudest career achievement was the thousands of lives that Mike and his team saved at Weatherdata (which he founded) and later acquired the company at Accuweather Enterprise Solutions. I served on his board for a few years, watching him work directly.…
