Excellent episode, and a bonus (and quite astute) Pink Floyd reference.

The public comment period on the US EPA's plan to stop regulating greenhouse gases is open until 9/15.

Trump Environmental Protection Agency moves to repeal finding that allows climate regulation President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that's long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

Those of us who disagree with some left-wing climate rhetoric and strategy should make it clear: Trump is a climate disaster, this is environmental vandalism, the deniers and do-nothing lackeys are the big threat to the planet.

Protecting wild Florida in a developer’s market: How the state plans to offset environmental impacts A new state law aims to help developers fill environmental requirements faster, something critics say could throw the landscape out of balance.

Headline writers can do better. This new law is about making it easier to pave wetlands and not have to provide mitigation within the same watershed. It is not intended to protect wetlands better and it won't.

Former congressman slams sugar industry, Trump allies in blistering critique of GOP priorities Former Florida Rep. Francis Rooney accused President Trump of showing favoritism in the sugar industry.

It is time to end the environmentally - destructive sugar price - supports. Id love to see a bi-partisan effort to do so.

Alain, great to see you on this platform; your work continues to be the best in the business. To the question ... during these early practices w/out pads, when a description of a practice rep talks about how so & so set the edge well, opened a hole, etc ... what can really be taken from that?

Happy Anniversary. So happy to be part of your family.

Great to join @youthvgov.bsky.social and my colleagues today in introducing a resolution to protect the rights of kids everywhere to a safe, livable planet.

As Trump tries to destroy our environment, inaction is not an option. We’ll keep fighting for climate justice and for the future.

Her father was a real environmental champion.

Florida law handcuffs cities, boosts building and rebuilding. Is it a 'developer handout'? Local governments are confronting a powerful new state law this summer which critics say clearly favors developers across Florida.

This bill, now a law, either was not read or not understood by most of the legislators who voted for it. Sanity has to prevail this must be repealed or completely re-written next session.

The Big Beautiful Bill can be a wake-up call for Democrats on food and ag policy. I wrote in @nytimes.com that now is the moment for them to stop supporting ludicrous and destructive welfare programs for rich Republican farmers who hate them. Time for a new approach! www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/o...
