—The U.S. Energy Department said Friday it’s giving $1.2 billion to a pair of projects that would directly remove planet-warming carbon dioxide from the air.

QUOTABLE: “I’ve got nothing left. I’m a disabled vet, so now I’m a homeless vet.” — Thomas Leonard, a retired mailman and Vietnam veteran, after the flames that burned Lahaina, Hawaii, destroyed his apartment and melted his Jeep. Leonard spent hours sheltering from the fire behind a seawall.

A mere butterfly’s fart in the wind:

“Here’s what you need to know” = agitprop to follow.
Climate crisis causes democrat incompetence ,LOL

The Associated Press announced today it will significantly expand its climate coverage, creating a standalone desk that will enhance the global understanding of climate change and its impact across the world.
The initiative will infuse the global media landscape with a new stream of quality climate journalism through both AP content and in-depth training and collaboration directly with AP’s thousands of customers worldwide.
The news agency will also launch an AP StoryShare network for climate coverage, allowing news organizations to share their content with one another and in turn provide more robust coverage for their audiences.
The expansion is supported by several philanthropic organizations, including the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Quadrivium and The Rockefeller Foundation. AP retains complete editorial control of all content.
“Unbiased, fact-based journalism has never been more important or imperiled,” said Larry Kramer, president of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. “The Associated Press has, for over a century, played a crucial role reporting on the most pressing issues of our time, including climate change. The climate initiative will build on AP’s legacy of independent journalism and help millions better understand the impact of the climate crisis and counter climate-related misinformation.”

Assorted Prostitutes still feverishly carrying water for the globalists.

Plastic Jeep?
“Here’s what you need to know” is idiot speak for drooling fools. And the last place on the block to turn for dependable info is The Asspress, followed by The Hill and the alphabets.
The idiots in the EPA that approved up this idea generate more carbon dioxide than this project will ever remove.
What you need to see is the caring humanitarian politician throwing our money at a scam to fill thier pockets, THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW
Leave it to gov’t to come up with a solution to no problem. Heh.
One thing this fire will cause...more gov’t. funds will be misspent on “climate change” & this will change nothing. I noticed there was one comment on another associated article that hinted that it could have been caused by a bad Tesla battery. There are so many possible causes that a bad battery is only a remote possibility, but a possibility nonetheless.
Another case of uncontrolled growth.
Strong suspicion of human initiated fires.
Unfortunately, or timed, winds from Hurricane Dora whipped up the fires.
Yet the idiot mayor said the fires were due to climate change.
56.7 F at this hour at my home in Wheaton, IL.
( That is the lowest I’ve seen for July and August, I think. )
We’ve had some hot weather this summer, but nothing epic ... maybe low 90’s. Plenty of rain and the grass is green.
“... everything’s cool ... everything’s very cool all the way around ...”
Gosh, 53.8 F ... at 3AM that’s gotta be near the low for the night.
Remember that Twilight zone ? “The Midnight Sun” ?
I vaguely remembered it. The internet is amazing.
... Well, 53.6 F !
The people weren’t warned in time, the greenie freak in charge of releasing enough water to control the fire didn’t because he was a left wing fruit cake... And the rest of the crap - we’ve had extreme weather from time to time since the world came into being...
