Washington has been on the forefront of claiming to be a climate cult state….well, at least those in the big cities, which drives who wins elections there. They had an uber-Warmist governor in Jay Inslee, who’s first and only thought was what legislation could be passed. Yet
Washington’s climate pollution slow to see light of day, despite new law
For a week, NPR has been exploring various solutions to climate change, from quitting fossil fuels to putting coastal homes up on stilts.
In Washington state, it is hard to know how well climate solutions are working.
The state takes up to four years to disclose whether it is keeping its promise—and legal mandate—to slash its climate-damaging pollution.
The Washington Department of Ecology revealed statewide carbon dioxide emissions for 2020 and 2021 in January 2025, two years after its legal deadline.
The state’s next greenhouse gas inventory is scheduled to be published by December 1, 2026, to cover data from 2022 and 2023.
Legislators have dedicated more funding and passed legislation to accelerate the state’s pollution tracking, while conservative activists have sued the state over its tardy transparency.
Even so, better visibility into the state’s stubborn carbon problem is still years away.
Hmm, sounds more like it’s a slush fund they want to hide. I wonder how many of those pushing this are giving up their own use of fossil fuels.
“The reports coming out of the Department of Ecology are four years old,” said Republican state Sen. Matt Boehnke. “My bill actually just tried to speed it up to say, let’s do this annually, and let’s get more current, accurate data so we can make better decisions now.”
The Democrat-led legislature unanimously passed Boehnke’s bill to require speedier disclosures of carbon emissions — but not before pushing its requirement for annual reporting down the road five years.
“They basically hijacked my bill, frankly, and said, ‘we can’t do this.’ And I said, ‘You can,’” Boehnke told KUOW.
“From an efficiency and from a budget reduction standpoint, we really wanted to ease into the yearly reporting,” Democratic state Rep. Beth Doglio said.
It’s a slush fund.

Scientists have long looked for ways to turn the tide in our fight against climate change. So far, no matter what ideas they come up with, none have been solidified as actual missions with concrete goal. But that could change soon, as researchers plan to test a solar umbrella as a way to cut down on how much heat reaches our planet from the sun.
