Also from the article:

Burgum said the #Trump admin “does not view climate change as an existential threat,” and Wright said “rising global temperatures are simply a byproduct of developing the country’s national resources to support economic growth and national security.”

Anyway, they don’t think that wind and solar will supply enough #energy for artificial intelligence and ‘re-industrialization.’

This is so gross.

~ #Trump admin sends a clear message to the oil and gas industry: ‘You’re the customer’

🔘 Interior Secretary D. Burgum & Energy Secretary C, Wright want to make it as easy as possible to drill on federal land & waters.

🔘Companies developing resources on federal lands (includ. harvesting timber, mining for minerals, grazing cattle) are “customers” who are contributing to the national “balance sheet.”

This is so sad. 😢 And I can see no end to the ongoing tragedy...

Whether they hop around the prairie, dabble in wetlands, flit through forests, or forage along the shore, birds are suffering rapid population declines across the United States.

That’s the finding from the latest State of the Birds report, a status check on the country’s avian life published every few years by a coalition of science and conservation groups. The 2025 report shows that birds across most habitats have suffered major losses since 1970. Grassland and aridland species have been dealt the heaviest blow: both groups lost more than 40% of their total populations over that period.

What’s more, the trends for many habitat groups have gotten worse. Even waterfowl, which had previously been a conservation bright spot amid the alarming declines, have seen their numbers drop since the last edition of the report. Overall, around one-third of U.S. birds, or 229 species, are of high or moderate conservation concern, according to the report — dealing with low population levels, declining trends, or other threats that call for conservation action to step up.

Climate litigation - Environmental groups sound new alarm as fossil fuel lobby pushes for immunity theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m

Nearly 200 groups urge Congress to reject fossil fuel industry immunity efforts, fearing long-term damage to climate lawsuits

“Lawmakers must decisively reject any attempt by the fossil fuel industry to evade accountability and ensure both justice today and the right of future generations to hold polluters responsible for decades of deception,” said the missive, which is addressed to the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer.

Fossil fuel companies have vied for such a get-out-of-jail-free card for years.
