Nobel peace prize winners call on Norway to stop pushing fossil fuel exports.

Shame on "Best Buy" stores for price gouging on bottled water in and around Houston.

Generally you shouldn't buy bottled water in the US. When a contaminated flood has made tap water inaccessible is one of the exceptions.

Japan has defeated Sea Shepherd by means of a law that classifies Sea Shepherd's obstruction activity as "terrorism", combined with actions by Australia, New Zealand and the US to stop Sea Shepherd from operating.

Sea Shepherd does not engage in violence; it gets in the way of whaling ships. The idea that an inconvenient nonviolent protest is "terrorism" is twisted, but then, so is everything about Japanese hunts for whale meat that people mostly won't even buy.

A right-wing extremist claimed to have been stabbed by a black man. That was a lie—actually he had stabbed himself as a false-flag attack.

Houston's ever-more-frequent floods (one is happening now) show how damaging the saboteur's cancellation of Obama's flood-risk rule will be over time.

A time-limit on analysis of projects will certainly assist projects that submit bogus environmental impact studies. When those in harm's way criticize the flaws in a bogus study, the developers will use the deadline to pressure spineless or semi-corrupt officials to overlook the flaws "so that the project won't be canceled by the time-out."

A firmly honest official or judge won't cede to that pressure, but Republicans won't appoint honest officials and judges.

Heavy rains are more devastating for Houston than they would have to be, because the old infrastructure, and lots of houses, were built in places with too high flood risk.

Meanwhile, the number of heavy rainstorms keeps increasing, just as global heating is expected to do. So it will get worse and worse.
