    Defensive much? I just heard your reply to the criticism you received on the Republican “opinion“ peace you carried on the July 19 show.

    I listen to you for facts. Are you now becoming an opinion show?

    I don’t want to have to spend hours fact checking your show. I listen to your show for you to do the fact checking.

    Please don’t lose the credibility that this show has earned over the years by slipping into the “we’re just covering opinions.”

    One of the most beautiful and meaningful contributions I’ve heard from LOE. The essence of existence is the “interconnectedness and interdependence” of all things on earth - this incredible spaceship we inhabit. We can reimagine and power a different way of living. Whether we can overcome the forces of “modernity” that are leading us to self-destruction is an open question.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Justice Advances in Cancer Alley; Trump, Glyphosate and Cancer; Stinky Seaweed Menace and more.
Q: What does the judge's ruling mean for the St. James Parish case?
It signifies that the court recognizes legal grounds for the plaintiffs' claims, allowing the environmental-justice argument to proceed toward a trial and potentially reshape the parish's zoning practices.
Trump Canceling Climate Regs, Stormy Weather for Climate Science, Bluetooth Butterfly Tracking and more.
Q: Can you clarify whether the endangerment finding has actually been revoked or does that not happen until the legal battles have been settled?
Technically, the rule is published in the Federal Register, and then 60 days later, the repeal of the tailpipe standards takes effect. The legal battles to challenge this will follow.
Trump Canceling Climate Regs, Stormy Weather for Climate Science, Bluetooth Butterfly Tracking and more.
Q: What are the likely consequences of the EPA's decision now to rescind this finding, the consequences for public health and the climate?
The consequences are extremely negative, as repealing the endangerment finding removes the foundation for federal regulation of carbon pollution, leading to significant increases in pollution, health issues, and even deaths from related climate impacts.
Bonaire Residents Fight for Climate Justice, The Possibility of Tenderness, Wastewater to Wealth and more.
Q: What are Bonaire residents expecting from this decision?
They expect the Netherlands to cut its CO2 emissions much more rapidly and to take effective measures to protect them from climate impacts.
