At a time of steep home prices and high mortgage rates, the prospect of 265 new, single-family houses going up in one of the nation’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas provided a ray of hope to prospective homebuyers in Salt Lake City. But a federal agency’s claim of wetlands jurisdiction over a small drainage ditch on the edge of the 142-acre parcel where the homes are to be constructed has brought the project to a screeching halt. The U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Sackett v.

Most of the Western world is obsessed with reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This sentiment typically translates into an obsession with cutting back on industry which produces CO2, such as fossil-fuelled power stations, steel foundries, and so on. So, it does not immediately strike one as a good idea to aim to cut down CO2 emissions by building coal-fired power stations in Africa. But it definitely would curtail CO2 emissions a great deal.

I was involved in a weather debate on the so-called Nor’easter this weekend (you will see why I say so-called below), and it was refreshing to see there was no one blaming climate change for that storm. I believe this storm should have been classified as such because it transitioned from a subtropical to a tropical system. I offered objective analysis to support my point.

CFACT campus representative Conner McEleney, a student at Western Governors University, submitted a public comment urging the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to approve an American company’s application for deep-seabed mining in the Pacific. NOAA is reviewing a consolidated application from The Metals Company USA, LLC for an exploration license and a commercial recovery permit in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act.

Students crossing the Intellectual Commons at Texas Christian University on September 28 were met with an unusual proposition, “Can you separate climate fact from climate fiction?” CFACT Collegian Morgan Hill was there asking that question, aided by TCU’s Turning Point USA chapter, running CFACT’s Climate Myth Gumball Machine. Passersby did not get a lecture. They got a turn of the knob. The machine was loaded with capsules containing both accepted truths and common myths about climate change.

In Kitala, along Entebbe Road in Wakiso District, Uganda, CFACT is helping determined entrepreneurs turn small income-generating activities into stronger, more free-market-oriented “sustainable” businesses. Building on practical skills gained through the CFACT Entrepreneur Conference, this project focuses on strengthening enterprises that participants have already started — improving production, management, animal care, and the ability to generate dependable household income.

Virginia ratepayers smacked with 153 percent increase in auction prices used to determine carbon tax. Thomas Jefferson would not be a fan of the energy tax plan his gubernatorial successor has coerced into place this year at the expense of ratepayers and without public input. The second governor of Virginia and third president of the United States argued that small farmers who lived off their own land should pay little or no federal taxes.

It looks like climate activists accidentally made a $180 million dollar mass-market movie that only appeals to the doomster greenie fringe who hate old white men and Big Oil. The only reviewers with anything good to say, are ‘surprise’ the ABC and the BBC. “Digger might just be the year’s best film — if you trust the process”, says the ABC cryptically. But over at lefty headquarters, the New York Times headlines it with “Even Tom Cruise can’t save this strained satire”. It’s that bad.
