Bummer: NY’s Climate Scam Act Shot Down In Second Federal Court

By William Teach September 29, 2026 – 3:21 pm

I can’t believe I missed this

Second Federal Court Strikes Down New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act

On September 23, 2026, a second federal district court struck down New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act (the Act), this time in a lawsuit brought by the United States and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In United States v. State of New York, Judge P. Kevin Castel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York held that the Act is preempted both by the Clean Air Act (CAA) and, independently, by the federal government’s exclusive authority over foreign affairs. The Court declared the Act unconstitutional and permanently enjoined New York officials from enforcing it.

This new ruling comes less than a month after the Northern District of New York reached substantially the same result in West Virginia v. James. As we reported on September 1, the N.D.N.Y. held that the Act was preempted by federal law in litigation brought by a coalition of states and industry associations. We also previously described the Act and potential legal challenges when it was enacted. (snip)

Like the court in West Virginia, Judge Castel relied heavily on the Second Circuit’s 2021 decision in City of New York v. Chevron Corp., which rejected New York City’s effort to recover climate-related damages from fossil-fuel companies under state tort law because claims based on interstate and global GHG emissions implicate federal interests requiring a uniform rule.

The Cultists said they were “waiting to see” what happened in the Southern District, and, now that the law has been shot down, what now?

The Court also rejected any meaningful distinction between state common-law damages — the claims at issue in City of New York — and a state statute imposing comparable liability. Because interstate air-pollution disputes historically have been governed by federal law, and Congress displaced federal common law in this area through the CAA, the Court concluded that New York may impose such liability only if authorized by the CAA. It found no such authorization.

Notably, the Court held that the EPA’s 2026 rescission of its GHG endangerment finding did not alter the preemption analysis. In the Court’s view, the relevant question is whether federal law authorizes the state regime, not whether the EPA currently chooses to exercise its regulatory authority over GHG emissions.

So, is Gov Kathy Hochul, who takes lots and lots of fossil fueled travel, still looking at options? Probably so, because the Warmists will never give up.

Anthropic IPO Warns Of “Existential Risk To Humanity”

By William Teach September 29, 2026 – 10:30 am

This doesn’t sound like a good idea to sell stock

Anthropic warns investors of AI’s ‘existential risk to humanity’ in IPO prospectus, reports say

Anthropic plans to warn speculative investors in its IPO prospectus that its AI models pose a “catastrophic or existential risk to humanity,” several reports said on Tuesday.

The company, which is gearing up for a much-anticipated IPO, dedicated over a third of its IPO filing, or around 80 of 261 pages, to laying out the potential risks of the technology it’s developing and is seeking investment for, according to a report from Reuters. It only used 48 pages to discuss its actual business.

The five-year-old company, known for its frontier language model Claude, warned that AI can have “self-preserving behaviors,” including being able to “resist shutdown,” “conceal or manipulate information,” and carry out behaviors “resembling blackmail,” per the Reuters report.

The company is pursuing a $2 trillion valuation when it goes public and reported in the filing that it made a net loss of $42 billion in 2025. It’s planning to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing, and other infrastructure in the coming year, according to Reuters.

Anthropic also warned that its customer base is extremely narrow, with nearly a quarter of its revenue last year coming from just two clients, two people familiar with the filing told the Financial Times.

This doesn’t really say “Our stock is dope, you should buy it and you’ll make lots of money off of it”, eh? More like “our product will kill everyone, so, what’s the point of funding it?” Perhaps they are betting on Government regulating AI development, which would leave the big companies like Anthropic in a good place while putting the brakes on smaller companies?

OpenAI Says It Will Not Release Newest A.I. Model Over Safety Concerns

OpenAI said on Monday that it would not release its newest artificial intelligence model because of security concerns raised by its researchers, in the company’s latest move to slow down the pace of its technology.

During the testing phase for the new model, known as GPT-6.1 Astra, it showed high levels of what the company saw as deception, or a willingness to mislead users about its actions. The model was also willing to go beyond the original scope of what it was asked to do, without checking back for directions or instructions.

“For anything regarding safety and alignment, there’s a trade-off,” said Saachi Jain, the head of safety systems at OpenAI. The new model “didn’t quite meet the bar in terms of staying within scope and authorization, and how it communicates back to the user about the type of work it’s done.”

It’s easy to Blame the AI, but, come on, they programed it. Whatever it is doing is on the software designers.

Democrats demand leaders of top AI labs hand over incident reports of ‘rogue agents’

Three House Democrats leading their party on artificial intelligence policy are demanding five tech CEOs hand over information about “the growing number of incidents” where rogue AI agents are committing cyberattacks.

“These are incidents that would constitute serious cyber crimes if a human was responsible,” Reps. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Valerie Foushee of North Carolina and Ted Lieu of California wrote to the tech giants in a letter shared first with POLITICO. “That is deeply concerning.”

Why? Do they have Constitutional authority to make theses demands to private companies? I guess if they’re taking federal money, but, otherwise, it’s none of their business.

Justice Alito Recuses Himself From Climate (scam) Case

By William Teach September 29, 2026 – 7:15 am

It’d be interesting to know if any of the other justices, especially the liberal ones, have stock in fossil fuels companies, because the most likely reason is Alito’s holdings

Alito recuses from major climate change case to be decided by the Supreme Court

Justice Samuel Alito will no longer participate in a major climate change case involving two large energy companies, according to a letter from the Supreme Court that was sent Monday.

The one-line letter signed by Scott Harris, the Supreme Court’s clerk, and sent to the lawyers involved in the dispute states that Alito “has determined that he will not continue to participate in this case.” No reason for Alito’s decision to sit out was provided, but it is likely because the justice has stock holdings in oil and gas companies, according to his financial disclosure report for 2025.

Alito’s decision to recuse himself comes one week before the Supreme Court will begin its new term with arguments in the dispute between Suncor Energy and Exxon Mobil and Boulder, Colorado.

The city and county of Boulder sued the two companies in Colorado state court in 2018, arguing that their conduct contributed to global climate change. The city and county say Exxon Mobil and Suncor engaged in “unchecked production, promotion, refining, marketing and sale of fossil fuels,” and concealed or misrepresented the dangers associated with fossil fuels’ intended use, leading to “unchecked fossil fuel use” that has led to a rise in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The mostly likely outcome is that Boulder loses, but, with Alito out, will Roberts and possibly Coney Barrett vote with the 3 liberals? Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh will vote against Boulder, Sotomayor, Kagan, and the dumb one will vote with Boulder. So, if either Roberts or Coney Barrett vote with the libs then Boulder wins due to the lower court ruling, as if the Court never heard the case.

The Supreme Court is set to weigh not only whether to block the lawsuit from moving forward in state court, but also whether it has jurisdiction to review the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision.

The outcome of the case could impact scores of similar lawsuits brought by states and localities against fossil-fuel producers alleging violations of state law. The states and local governments are seeking billions of dollars in money damages.

It could be huge in terms of whether the lawfare against fossil fuels companies (by people who won’t give up fossil fuels themselves) runs rampant.

Bummer: Trump Goes After Immigration Squish Salazar

By William Teach September 29, 2026 – 7:00 am

Pretty much few Republicans care, because Salazar trotted out her Dignity Act, pretty much amnesty

Trump turns on Salazar after Florida Republican challenges his immigration crackdown

President Donald Trump on Saturday escalated his criticism of Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), amplifying a series of social media posts attacking the Florida Republican and, in multiple instances, calling for her replacement ahead of her election in just over a month.

Trump reposted more than a dozen messages criticizing Salazar on Truth Social, the president’s social media platform, including one user’s post that read: “So we need a NEW Republican to Replace Salazar.” Several Trump loyalists, including Laura Loomer, have for months called on the president to abandon his endorsement of her.

Salazar last week released a campaign ad filmed in front of the White House challenging Trump’s immigration crackdown. In the ad, she said his administration’s enforcement efforts had “gone too far” and warned that Hispanic voters who helped Trump win the White House in 2024 felt betrayed. Recent public polling has shown Trump’s approval among Latino voters in decline.

Other posts accused the three-term congressmember of betraying Trump — echoing long-standing criticism from MAGA that the Florida lawmaker is pro “amnesty” as an immigration policy, a characterization that she has repeatedly denied.

I mean, yeah, she’s a wackball with her immigration stance, which is much like Bush 43 and Lindsay Grahamnesty. And some other squishes. But, I have to wonder if this is a way for Trump to help her win in her district, playing some Politics 101, knowing that other than her immigration Crazy she is a solid Trump supporter.

The Cuban American member of Congress represents one of the most Hispanic districts in the country, where over 70% of the electorate is Hispanic. She also won her primary handily with over 80% of the vote.

I have a feeling that it’s all misdirection.

Jew Haters Threaten To Boycott Kimmel Over Gal Gadot

By William Teach September 28, 2026 – 5:00 pm

These Nazis are insane, and, Kimmel is learning about friendly fire

Fans Are Threatening To ‘Boycott’ After Jimmy Kimmel Hosts Gal Gadot On His Show

Cancel Culture Friendly FireJimmy Kimmel is currently under fire after having the controversial Gal Gadot on his late-night talk show, prompting online backlash.

The Wonder Woman star was one of the most recent guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian’s famous talk show, which has been making a comeback following his temporary suspension ordered by ABC and encouraged by President Trump. After Gal made her appearance on-air and the pair spoke about a variety of topics, some social media users expressed disappointment in Jimmy for having her on, considering her controversial views and statements on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

The fuck is so controversial about defending her home country, Israel, for which she spent time in the military, and which was attacked by Hamas, which was supported by the Palestinians in Gaza? It really is time to start referring to these people as Nazis, since they really do hate Jews and seem to want them ended.

The appearance by the 41-year-old actress drew backlash online, with some viewers questioning why Jimmy chose to feature her, given her public association with Israel. Gal, who served in the Israel Defense Forces and has spoken publicly in support of Israel and Israeli hostages following the October 7th attacks, has faced criticism from pro-Palestinian activists and others who object to her stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Criticism for defending those who were attacked, for supporting the hostages?

“He has no spine or humanity,” commented an Instagram user.

One user called for a “boycott” of his show, as another commented, “Why would he do that?”

“Since learning that, I’ve stopped watching him,” a former fan wrote.

“He is a big disappointment,” added another

Granted, randos, but, it is humorous watching the cancel culture gator coming for him

Hotcoldwetdry Is Now Coming For Vanilla

By William Teach September 28, 2026 – 3:33 pm

I blame you

Climate Change Is Threatening Your Favorite Flavors

Vanilla may seem like one of the most basic flavors, but keeping it on the menu is anything but simple. Much of the world’s natural vanilla comes from Madagascar, where increasingly erratic weather, cyclones and drought threaten a crop with an outsized role in the global food industry.

“If you want natural vanilla, there’s an 80% chance that it comes from Madagascar,” Yuvraj Arora, president of the Taste division and Chief Commercial Officer at IFF, told Newsweek during a fireside chat at the publishing company’s The Future of Food and Agriculture Forum in New York City.

Often derided as a simple, basic flavor, vanilla is actually a critical ingredient in the food industry, “one of the most important flavor tonalities,” explained Arora, which is why IFF has been working on securing a stable – and sustainable – supply of these aromatic seed pods since 2010.

To deliver this, every step along the value chain matters, from farmers’ fields all the way to the grocery store shelf, the executive explained to the audience. “This is where I’m proud of the entire flavor industry,” said Arora. “We’ve all made investments in that area to make sure that we are able to … through education, through science, through agriscience, help the farmers,” so they can manage supply chain volatility and deal with the impacts of climate change.

It’s always some sort of doom. But, then, you look back and realize that it’s all a bunch of mule fritters and scaremongering.

Bill Gates Says AI Could Kill A Billion

By William Teach September 28, 2026 – 10:30 am

The prophecies of Doom continue. Do the doomers think this help?

Bill Gates warns artificial intelligence ‘powerful enough’ to cause ‘a billion deaths’ if unchecked

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could cause “a billion deaths” if left unchecked in the latest push to regulate AI on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

During his interview, Gates, who previously warned that AI could be the “greatest equalizer” or “worst source of injustice” without some level of human regulation, stopped short of answering whether the technology could “end all of humanity” but argued that it could drive events that would lead to significant deaths.

“AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that, you know, cause a billion deaths,” Gates said. “You know, so even though it’s pretty hard to get to 100%, there’s never been a weapon as powerful as the combination of people with ill intent using the latest AI tools.”

Gates is among several tech giants who have put forth warnings about AI, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Despite this, President Donald Trump has rejected calls to ease back on AI development in an effort to compete with other global powers like China.

Is it the job of the US government to restrict the development of AI? I’d like to see exactly where they have the authority. I really don’t think the commerce clause gives the power.

Gates disagreed, saying there “absolutely” needed to be more focus on regulation and legislation passed by Congress rather than concerns about global competition.

So, since Gates was essentially involved in both Microsoft and Apple (with a $150 million investment in Apple in 1997 to save the company), what is he doing to restrict AI in the products of both companies? Anything?

“The problem is that the rest of the world is either discounting this or just thinking of this as a competition. And it’s very scary that we don’t have all of the thinkers saying, ‘How do we want to shape this?'” Gates said.

Maybe they aren’t buying into the prophecy of doom, especially when those pushing doom fail to restrict their own products.

Parents “Must Go Political” To Solve Climate Doom Or Something

By William Teach September 28, 2026 – 7:15 am

Must they? This sounds rather authoritarian

Parenting must be political in the shadow of climate change and the planet our children will inherit

In 2016, I became a mother for the first time. Many first-time mothers experience a profound shift in perspective and concern for the health and wellbeing of their new baby, which can become an intense focus on their child’s health, safety and nutrition.

My “new mother” anxiety became fixated on climate change and the degradation of the planet she would inherit. I spent the first few years of her life becoming increasingly preoccupied with the subject, endeavouring to change every aspect of my lifestyle to limit the impact I believed I was having on her future and on the planet.

Sounds like she went full cult and probably ignored her child and husband

Those years were a desperately anxious time for me, but in the process I became increasingly knowledgeable about the subject. I soon realised whatever individual changes I made would have virtually no impact on a planetary phenomenon of this scale.

Through deep dives into the science, I came to understand climate change was itself a symptom of the way we have organised our societies and economies. What was required was change at a societal, economic and global level.

Why, because you say so? Get f*cked

As a result, I turned my focus towards politics, because I saw political action as one of the principal means through which change could happen at national and international level.

My growing awareness coincided with the emergence of Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion, and the rise of Green parties across Europe in the latter part of the 2010s. There seemed to be a rapidly growing public awareness of the climate crisis, reflected in the ‘Green Wave’ in Irish politics at the time.

So, wackos being wackos

Too often, people are presented with the absurdity of small individual behavioural changes as an adequate response to a crisis they are simultaneously told is structural, economic and global in scale.

Ultimately, one of the most effective things any of us can do is engage in our communities and political system, and push relentlessly for change at national and international level.

As we strive for meaningful change, we should be attuned to our concerns being mocked, dismissed or shamed. Shame is one of the most powerful and corrosive emotions for a socially attuned species. It can be an extraordinarily effective and manipulative weapon.

Really, this kind of crap is pre-COVID thought, where fewer people want government involved in forcing them to live a certain life, drive certain vehicles, eat certain things, etc. People may Believe in theory, but, these days people are backing away from the cult in government

There is nothing shameful about demanding that governments act quickly and effectively in response to climate change. There is nothing irrational about being frightened by what the science is telling us. And there is nothing extreme about demanding that the scale of the political response reflect the scale of the threat.

I’m not sure how many times I have written and said it, but, why is it that the cult members always want government to force Everyone Else to live a certain life while never talking about how they’ve changed their own lives?
