The Cult of Climastrology always has to link itself to every holiday
Fourth of July: drones to replace firework displays due to wildfire risk
The night sky above Aspen will light up with a patriotic display this Fourth of July as always – just not with the usual fireworks.
For the first time, the flashes of red, white and blue glowing against the dramatic backdrop of the Rocky Mountains will be provided by drones.
Wildfire risk is so high in the drought-stricken Rockies and across the American west that the renowned ski town has canceled the traditional Independence Day fireworks – as have a number of others in Colorado, Arizona, California and elsewhere.
And with experts warning that climate change is leading to prolonged drought and extreme fire risk in the longer term, drones and lasers could increasingly become the new fireworks.
Weirdly, most of these places are areas which tend to be rather dry to start with. But, of course, the CoC has to blame it on their climate gods, and make sure that everyone knows that mankind is horrible.

Trump mucks up 4th of July for holiday travelers
As travelers hit the road for July –Fourth, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is alerting consumers to the potential harm to consumers and the U.S. economy of the Trump administration’s plan to roll back fuel economy standards. NRDC estimates how much more consumers would pay to be on the road nationally and in five states: Colorado, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Trump’s rollback of clean car standards would hurt everyday Americans at the pump. The price of gas usually rises in the summer. Some analysts say that gas prices now are at their highest level since 2014. However, today’s cars, trucks, and SUVs cost less to fill up because they can go farther on a tank of gas. Vehicles have been getting more fuel efficient every year since 2012 because of the current standards.
Good grief. They can’t help themselves. Realistically, you won’t see most sedans start getting lower fuel economy, at least the four cylinder ones. But, the manufacturers won’t have to keep doing things that can make them less safe anymore. And, they can make bigger vehicles that get low MPGs and are very sturdy. Trump’s order was about getting rid of a CAFE standard that was unrealistic. There are still CAFE standards. But, resistance! Trump! Screaming and gnashing teeth!

William Lloyd Garrison, the 19th-century abolitionist, had a different idea for how to observe the holiday. Every flag should be either taken down or flown at half-staff, he wrote in his newspaper, The Liberator, and “all signs of exultation, parade and boasting should be studiously suppressed.†The usual rounds of celebratory music, marching and fireworks must be abandoned until “the millions of our oppressed countrymen are emancipated.†In the meantime, the Fourth of July “should be made THE DAY OF DAYS for the overthrow of slavery.â€
But this attitude fundamentally misunderstands the nature of the holiday. July 4 commemorates a protest so incendiary that its participants, the signers of the Declaration of Independence, risked execution as traitors to the crown. These dissidents came together to affirm their commitment to a political community based on equality, at least in theory. For a century and a half, social-justice activists honored this history by continuing it, trying to hold the nation to its own standards on the anniversary of the day they were declared.
