The world’s fossil-fuel producers are on track to nearly quadruple the amount of extracted oil and gas from newly approved projects by the end of this decade, with the US leading the way in a surge of activity that threatens to blow apart agreed climate goals, a new report has found.
There can be no new oil and gas infrastructure if the planet is to avoid careering past 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of global heating, above pre-industrial times, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has previously stated.
Republicans in Colorado’s sprawling 4th Congressional District on Thursday night chose former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez as their nominee to appear on the June 25 special election ballot to fill out the rest of former Rep. Ken Buck’s term.
Lopez, a conservative who ran unsuccessfully for Colorado governor in 2018 and 2022, has said publicly he won’t run in the district’s Republican primary election, which will be held on the same day.
Republicans are really struggling winning over women voters, especially while they are trying to take away the women's rights. So the GOP is focusing on how to tweak the message instead of losing their anti-woman policy. They think that it will all be better if they pretend to be more sympathetic or try to make losing their rights more appealing and definitely losing that whole "rape and incest thing."

“No Virginia governor has come into office with a deeper dealmaking background than Glenn Youngkin, who as former co-chief executive of the Carlyle Group made a fortune acquiring and merging companies around the globe,” the Washington Post reports.

“While Youngkin and his group of financial experts had negotiated with team owner Ted Leonsis to cut what the governor called ‘the single largest economic development deal in Virginia’s history,’ the governor was never able to work the same magic with members of the General Assembly who had to sign off on the $2 billion project.”
