Ice is nature's most precise and reliable thermometer. And if you're one of those people who thinks a stable climate is a nice thing, what it's telling us ain't good.

The Middle Ages aren’t over yet: State Department officials won't participate in next week's meeting of the top UN climate science panel. Why it matters: A U.S. absence from the IPCC would leave the country out of conversations for the group's next influential reports. www.axios.com/2025/02/20/u...

Coal would have died so long ago - to the benefit of our environment and our wallets - if energy regulators didn't keep forcing taxpayers and ratepayers to prop up their failures. Mediocre companies fear competitive markets but if you let them work consumers win. www.cleveland.com/open/2025/02...

between Governors Hochul and Pritzker, you can imagine a dynamic developing where Democratic politicians compete over becoming the face of effective resistance to Trump. I think there are clear political upsides to winning that race and am mostly surprised that there have been so few runners so far

“Energy Transfer and the fossil fuel industry do not understand the difference between entities and movements. You can’t bankrupt the movement. You can’t silence the movement. There will be a backlash and a price to pay when you pursue these kinds of tactics.”

"Then there’s the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Its project before the Corps does involve energy — a proposed geothermal system to heat and cool the museum’s expansion. The Corps did not explain why that project is considered necessary because of a national emergency." 🤣

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.

Stood in a field and watched day break on a volcano this morning (Mt. Lassen). The snowy peak went from grey to pink to white in the morning light. No Elon, no AI manipulation, no American dictator lurking. Just birds, sky, silence. If you have a volcano nearby, highly recommend.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

"Admonitions to obey the law will not stop Trump and will not dissuade his supporters. Trump’s bad ideas must be countered with good ones. His attack on the government has to be contrasted with a vision of how the system could work and should work — for the people, not the emperor-in-the-making."
