Wisconsin state standards now face legal uncertainty due to the federal proposal. Cleanup advocates cite anti-backsliding laws to challenge the weakening of protections. New EPA funding for contamination does little to offset the […]

Study behind Reno “desert” warning used now-retracted worst-case climate model
Warnings about the desertification of Reno relied on a discredited emissions scenario the IPCC officially declared implausible. The study’s most dramatic projections depend on RCP8.5, which requires a five-fold increase in coal consumption by 2100. Over 99 percent of Earth’s land surface will remain within the same biome classification under realistic projections. The study excluded […]

Met Office’s vanishing wind chapter raises fresh questions about climate data
The Met Office removed the wind and storms chapter from its 2025 climate report, obscuring five decades of declining wind speed data. Declining wind speeds and storm intensity undercut the government’s Net Zero push, which relies heavily on wind power subsidies. The agency dismissed FOI requests for evidence behind claims of more intense storms, saying […]

ECB to penalize loans to climate-risky firms by up to 5% starting in 2027
The European Central Bank will impose up to a 5% penalty on loans to high-emission companies starting in 2027. Global sustainable funds saw $84 billion in outflows in 2025 as private green finance retreats. The IPCC quietly abandoned its most extreme warming scenario, undermining key climate models. The Trump administration is pushing the World Bank […]

German weather site’s viral Rhine temperature reading draws mockery over flawed method
A viral video from German weather site donnerwetter.de claiming the Rhine River hit 28 C was ridiculed for using a one-second dip in two-centimeter-deep, sun-baked water. The shallow measurement site near Bonn, with water only 2 cm deep, could not accurately reflect the river’s true temperature. Critics point to a broader pattern of overstated heat […]

EPA fast-tracks fluoride review as evidence of harm to children mounts
Federal agencies are reexamining water fluoridation safety following a 2024 report linking high fluoride levels to lower IQ in children. The EPA released a new protocol to study fluoride’s effects on children’s brain development and dental fluorosis. A federal court ruled that current fluoridation levels pose an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children. The […]

Record drought drains the Danube, exposing Nazi warships and forcing first-ever nuclear shutdowns
Historic drought and record heat have reduced the Danube River to record lows, exposing WWII Nazi warships, a 1937 Hungarian cargo wreck, and suspected mammoth remains while crippling river transport. Hungary and Romania have shut down nuclear reactors that rely on Danube water for cooling for the first time in history, creating an unprecedented energy […]

Lawmakers to Monsanto: Hiding cancer risks won’t be protected by law
Congressional bill aims to overturn a Supreme Court ruling that shielded pesticide companies from lawsuits over undisclosed cancer risks. The Americans vs. Poisonous Pesticides Act would restore consumers’ right to sue manufacturers for concealing health hazards. Under current law, EPA-approved labels grant immunity from state-level failure-to-warn lawsuits, even when cancer risks are omitted. The bill […]
