The EPA’s exemption portal isn’t a “get-out-of-jail-free card.” It’s a return to lawful, deliberate governance—a rare thing in the age of emergency mandates and bureaucratic crusades. If the Biden administration had pushed through these rules under normal democratic scrutiny, maybe there’d be less resistance.

The presenters at the meeting were carefully chosen to further the Hochul Administration’s narrative that all is well with the Climate Act. Consider, for example, the presentation by Jeff Freedman to the Planning Board. His main research focus is on “renewable energy and atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) processes” so his bias is towards renewable energy virtues. He has no energy sector experience that qualifies him to claim that “renewable energy can reduce costs” He was a spokesman

The War on Whatever is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous, which it is.

This kind of shoddy research for media consumption undermines public trust in climate science. CC claims to be an authority, yet their work shows a consistent pattern: cherry-pick data, ignore contradictory evidence, and blame everything on humans using fossil fuels causing climate change. Real science considers all variables, especially ones as obvious as localized urban heating and pollution. Until Climate Central acknowledges these fundamental factors, they’re not reporting science—they�

ABC News ignores the research and data which strongly suggests that the UHI is wholly responsible for earlier spring peak cherry blossom blooms, due to fewer late season frosts and warmer average nighttime temperatures. But, of course, this is in line with narrative that the mainstream media pushes concerning climate change, that it causes everything bad. The facts may not support this, but then the facts don’t inspire a compelling news story, which is all that ABC and other outlets seem to r

So, to Trump’s team: bravo. In just 52 days, you’ve inspired more genuine reform, more reevaluation of flawed premises, and more public discussion than a decade of carbon tax conferences ever achieved.
