Texas and Florida sued the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday, accusing the agency of failing to properly evaluate the safety of mifepristone, the abortion pill, and disregarding the risks it poses to women. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Texas by the states’ Republican attorneys general, challenges the FDA’s 2000 approval of mifepristone as well as its recent decision to greenlight a generic version from Evita Solutions. The states allege the FDA’s actions were arbitrary and capricious, violating the federal Administrative Procedure Act by prioritizing access over public health. “These are tragic but predictable consequences of prioritizing politics…

LRBurdak, CC BY-SA 3.0 <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/>, via Wikimedia Commons The climate crisis crowd has been pushing countries and companies to plant trees as a means of fighting global warming and reclaiming arid land. However, planting too many trees in places where trees don’t naturally grow has tremendous negative environmental impact. And like most climate policies, such as the use of electric cars that are far worse for the environment than vehicles running on fossil fuel, the tree-planting agenda is shortsighted, using the metric of how many trees were planted as a measure of success rather than calculating any net cost or…

Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) The Accumulated Cyclone Energy or ACE metric was originally created by Dr. William Gray and associates at Colorado State University, and it was later tweaked by NOAA. This is perhaps the best metric to measure overall tropical activity (as opposed to, for example, the number of storms) – as it not only factors in the intensity of a tropical cyclone, but it considers its longevity.  A “major” (category 3 or higher) hurricane, for example, that lasts for a long time will have a much bigger impact on the Accumulated Cyclone Energy than a short-lived and weaker…
