The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

A very small group of hardcore climate change denialists/minimalizers with huge influence are going to undo the progress the US has made in addressing the effects of climate change.

The NYT has an excellent podcast this morning explaining how this has come about.

nytimes.com - Trump activists climate policy

More and more we are becoming a nation led by anti-science no nothings.

A transcript should be available tomorrow.

The administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency is expected on Thursday to repeal a scientific finding that requires the federal government to fight global warming. The move is the latest push by the Trump administration to wipe out climate regulations in the United States.

Lisa Friedman, a New York Times reporter who covers climate policy, has spent the past few weeks piecing together the inside story of how a small group of activists turned its goal of rolling back environmental protections into reality.
