They do not care whether the planet lives or dies

Fierce Planet Posted on June 21, 2022 by jnfrJune 21, 2022

Stalling on climate change action is the deliberate policy of the Republican Party, and has been for a very long time. But their drive to end environmental regulation goes much further than climate change. A case being decided right now in the Supreme Court, West Virginia vs EPA, is likely to destroy the ability of the US government to regulate the environment, particularly in any way that might slow the fossil fuel industry in its march to destroy the planet. This is one of several Supreme Court cases that will be presented to us this week and next, and this … Continue reading →

The important point

Fierce Planet Posted on October 16, 2021 by jnfrOctober 16, 2021

This should be the main headline on every news site, from now until the planet burns. But it’s not of course, and that’s a shame. At least we have Sludge to point out the truth for us.

An excellent choice

Fierce Planet Posted on March 18, 2021 by jnfrMarch 19, 2021

Deb Haaland was sworn in today as Secretary of the Interior. This is the best choice Biden could have made for this position. In the New Yorker, Bill McKibben said: [M]uch of the pressure will fall on Haaland, because the territory she’s responsible for is so vast, and the political terrain so charged. She’s a brilliant choice because, with luck, she’ll be able to summon the rest of the country to appreciate the legacy that she now protects: the amazing landscape of the American West, the ancestral home of her own people and of many of our ideas about American … Continue reading →

Deb Haaland for Interior Secretary

Fierce Planet Posted on February 24, 2021 by jnfrApril 22, 2021

“I acknowledge that we are on the ancestral homelands of the Nakochtank, Anacostan, and Piscataway people.” Above is her opening statement. Tom Udall and Mark Udall say, in USA Today: Rep. Haaland’s nomination is both historic and long overdue. If confirmed, she would be the first Native American Cabinet member. Her record is in line with mainstream conservation priorities. Thus, the exceptional criticism of Rep. Haaland and the threatened holds on her nomination must be motivated by something other than her record. Of course as a woman she gets more scrutiny, even more so as an Indigenous woman. Today she … Continue reading →

FasTracks

Fierce Planet Posted on November 11, 2004 by jnfrNovember 11, 2004

I’m very proud that Colorado voted to continue funding light rail development in our state. This is the kind of forward-looking project that will keep Colorado liveable and beautiful in the future. Combine this with passage of renewable energy requirements in this same election, and you can see that Colorado is one of the most progressive states in the country right now, no matter who won the Presidential election here. Anyway, the NYTimes this morning has a lengthy article on FasTracks and the details of rail development around Denver. Enjoy!
