Upon the law The real space mission is back on the menu! Posted by Leslie Eastman The last time I wrote about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), agency staff were begging President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, to “Cleaning House” for “Insider revealed that the agency wasted millions of taxpayers’ currency, fairness and share (equality and inclusion (dei) programs in millions of taxpayers. Their wish has been awarded less than 100 days in Trump's second semester. NASA's acting director Janet Petro announced the move on Monday, announcing a memorandum to staff members…

Mine, oh, mine, the worm change. Thirteen months ago, New York TimesUniversity of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann and his attorney Peter J. Fontaine won the victory in federal court a few days ago. [emphasis, links added] They were pleased to have decided in a jury in Washington, D.C. that defendants Rand Simberg and Mark Steyn in the case had slandered Mann. The jury awarded Himberg and Stein a good dollar for compensation. It also awarded Simberg $1,000 in punitive damages and $1 million to Steyn. Mann claimed that the jury’s decision was “a victory for science, it was a…

Good news! The EPA just announced that it is challenging the most destructive regulatory action in U.S. history: “Hazard Discovery.” [emphasis, links added] This false “discovery” allows Obama and Biden to ban gas vehicles, shut down power plants, slow down U.S. oil growth and lock down our unlimited natural gas. I once wondered why Biden's EPA could become an economic dictatorban most Americans from buying cars after 2032 and effectively ban all coal-fired power plants and new gas plants after 2039? It began with the false “hazard discovery” of Obama's EPA. In 2009, Obama EPA released a “discovery” that “wine…

Eric Worrall's paper H/T Strativarius I guess the union members watched those horrible e-bike videos that spontaneously exploded into the white-hot ball. Unless Sadiq Khan Aslef threatens Sadiq Khan to ban strikes on e-bikes from London's underground network, despite the serious fire risk. The warning came after an explosion at the Reinas Lane station on February 27, which caught an electric bike on the platform and emitted toxic smoke throughout the station. The union now believes that electronic motorcycles pose the same fire risk as electronic drivers, and the cyclist was banned from using the tube in 2021 due to…

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Wednesday that it will introduce 31 “historic” actions to overturn various Biden and Obama-era environmental regulations. [emphasis, links added] EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said his agency will reconsider various environmental regulations, including certain regulations regarding power plants, oil and gas facilities and coal power plants, in an attempt to “free up American energy.” EPA touts this move as the “biggest relaxation action” in U.S. history, vowed Reduce the cost of living for Americans and “return the power to the state to make their own decisions.” “Today is the greatest day our country has seen,”…

According to an internal memorandum of the Umbrella Organization funded by Bill Gates, the memorandum focused on a broad range of climate issues, according to the New York Times. [emphasis, links added] Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, has invested billions of dollars in his wealth to combat climate change. Over the past decade, he has established himself as one of the main voices that encourage businesses and government to join. Breakthrough energy cuts show how Gates adapts to his efforts to the reality of the Trump administration, because The U.S.'s breakthrough policy team is unlikely to have much impact in WashingtonAccording…

The Federal Emergency Administration (FEMA) is reportedly working to remove mentions of climate change and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) from its official documents. [emphasis, links added] The agency is considering using axe phrases like “water conservation,” “electric vehicles,” and “fossil fuels.” Official documents guiding their response to natural disastersPolitico's E&E News reported Thursday. The report was conducted by the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate DEI-related programs across the federal government and the Biden-era Energy and Environmental Justice Initiative. The internal memorandum of FEMA obtained by E&E News also mentioned “possible violation of EOS's DEIA and climate change clauses”, referring…

Willis Eschenbach's guest post A day stuck at Nadi Airport in Fiji, waiting for my flight to Brisbane. So…I read it. I found one of the clearest and fascinating articles in Quanta Magazine titled “'Next-level “chaotic” traces the real limits of predictability. Basically, this seems to be Godel's theorem having Turing stop problems. It seems to me that their conclusions mean that future climate states are indeed fundamentally unpredictable, but not for the reasons commonly proposed, we cannot specify the starting conditions. It is called the “butterfly problem”, and in a chaotic system, small changes in the starting conditions lead…

From the Daily Caller Audrey StrebContributors Republican South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden signed a bill Thursday that prohibits the use of well-known areas of carbon dioxide pipelines to ensure land conservation for farmers across the state. The bill (HB 1052) prohibits the government from seizing land from the C02 pipeline. This puts the fate of Summit Carbon Solutions at a potential $9 billion, and the 2,500-mile pipeline project could be suspended in the air, as South Dakota is a key player in the program. Summit's pipeline is to transport C02 from five Midwest states to an underground storage location in…

Transcript: It is not easy to deliver food to remote Aboriginal communities in Ontario’s moose factory. The community is located on a small island on the Moose River near James Bay. In summer, food is usually arrived by boat, and in winter, by truck on ice. But in parts of the spring and fall, the island is only accessible by helicopters. Chum: “So autumn is when freezing occurs, and spring is when ice breaks.” Anthony Chum lives in a moose factory and works for the moose Kerry Aboriginal people. The food inside was expensive, he said. As the climate warms,…
