It seems like it'd be a no-brainer for some forward thinking Dems to start harvesting data from these archived pages with an eye to putting up countering websites. Sure, they couldn't be known as THE EPA, but some smart intern ought to be able to find a way to make this information a little more readily available to folks. Of course, I'm just a radical left-wing lunatic, so what do I know.
Why, why, why does this country worship, LITERALLY FUCKING WORSHIP, oil and coal companies? To the point where we are eagerly trading away HUMAN EXISTENCE for their benefit?
"...recent climate changes cannot be explained by natural causes alone."
Well, that only leaves the hand of God, who promised to murder us all with fire next time. Fighting climate change is religious discrimination against petro-christians!
Thanks, Dok, this is very informative and beautifully written. It does make make me want to shut down and hide until we are led by sane people, but here we are.
Funny how the EPA didn’t change the climate, they just changed the website. As if deleting the words “fossil fuels” is the same thing as deleting the heat wave cooking half the country. It’s the bureaucratic version of hiding your report card under the mattress and insisting your GPA is fine because you can’t see the F anymore. The planet still reads the receipts, guys.
You can stick your head in the sand all you want but climate change is here, it's happening RIGHT NOW, and it's already causing tens of billions of dollars in damage.
Andrew Tate, the self-avowed misogynist and accused sex trafficker with a massive online following, has a powerful ally in the White House: Barron Trump.
The college-aged Trump has been building a steady bromance with the woman-beating influencer since at least 2024, the pair’s mutual friend Justin Waller told The New York Times.
Tate and his brother Tristan are under criminal investigation in several countries related to their web cam business, facing accusations of sex abuse and human trafficking. The pair allegedly trafficked more than 30 women in Romania and Britain. Andrew Tate, who has amassed a following of millions of teenage boys and young men while calling himself the “king of toxic masculinity,” also stands accused of raping and beating a minor in Romania.
But those sordid details weren’t enough to keep the young Trump at bay. Waller, who proudly described himself to the Times as the “third [Tate] brother,” claimed that Barron had grown his relationship with Tate while nudging his father’s social media-based presidential campaigning efforts towards the podcasting manosphere.
As part of that, Waller was invited to a dinner Barron hosted at Mar-a-Lago in the spring of 2024. The two called “each other degenerate names,” discussed Trump’s potential running mates, and mutually agreed to join another guest’s podcast together, reported the Times.
Waller commented to the publication that the teenager was “not a bad ally to have—let’s be frank.”
In the months since, Waller said he’s tried to fill a “big brother” role for Barron (ignoring the fact that the 19-year-old already has two of those), claiming to have offered dating advice and personal connections to the freshman, including Tate himself.
“He and Barron spoke to Andrew over Zoom last year, Mr. Waller said, while the teenager was having a suit fitted by Mr. Waller’s tailor,” reported the Times. “Although they discussed the Romanian case, Barron did not say anything about helping the Tates, Mr. Waller said. They also talked about supporting Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign on their online platforms.”
In the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, Tate commented to reporters that he was “very close to the Trump family.”
Post-election, the White House assisted Tate, presumably due to his expanding influence over the president’s youngest child. Paul Ingrassia, the Tate brothers’ former lawyer-turned-DHS liaison, intervened in the process of a federal investigation on the Tates’ behalf, claiming that the order to do so had come directly from the White House.
Barron can have anything he wants. He feels entitled. How about some heroin, freaky Barry? How about some sweet sex trafficking? The world is your erster.
Green Giant Offering Program Where Gun Owners Can Trade In Firearms For Green Beans
PARSIPPANY, NJ—Claiming that the recent spate of mass shootings gave them no choice but to stand up and try to make a difference, vegetable purveyor Green Giant launched a new program Friday where gun owners can trade in their firearms in exchange for green beans. “These kinds of weapons have no place on the street or in our homes, which is why Green Giant is stepping up and offering 25 pounds of green beans for any semi-automatic weapon turned over to us,” said spokesperson Gina Sorpino, adding that a new ad campaign running in every major market promised gun owners who turned in multiple weapons could receive premium products like their Italian herb vegetable medley and fire-roasted sautéed zucchini. “We don’t want to force people to give up their guns, and we think our flavorful, healthy green beans are just the incentive people need. You can snack on them, put them in a casserole, even grill them. And unlike guns, the fatalities caused by green beans are almost non-existent. We hope gun owners will join Green Giant in building a safer world for our children.”
At press time, Green Giant had discontinued the program after receiving over 5 million death threats.
Congress is currently working on a way to ban information about climate change from *all* websites, even privately owned ones. You should call your congresscritters about it.

Ta, Dok. I finished reading Here Comes the Sun. Thanks for the recommendation.
"...recent climate changes cannot be explained by natural causes alone."

This is why I love Wonkette: "If only the current members of the Supreme Court gave two shits about reality."
Trump will get right on that with “if we don’t test, there won’t be any cases” approach to fixing inconvenient truths.

If you don’t know why you are dying, then there’s nobody to blame for not helping.
At least NASA is still going strong!

I am suddenly clairvoyant.
It’s only a question of how many sexual assaults will be covered up.
Suggestion: changing "will be" to "have been" might be more accurate
😳 Indeed. Let's just assume, MANY.
That's not gonna help Barr-Barr with the ladies. Not the interesting, and naughty, ones at least.

Good thing they work on the important stuff
I made the calls to people on the committee, my congress critter (Rashida Tlaib), and my senators (Slotkin and Peters).
Sounds unconstitutional. (Because it fucking well is.)
