Fuji Erupted… And What Might Happen Next #earthquakes #enviroment #history #MountFuji #MountFujiNews #MountFuji #news #samurai #Tokugawa #volcano #富士山 On clear days, you can see it from distant Tokyo: Mt. Fuji. At a height of 3776 meters (12,389 ft), Mount Fuji is Japan’s largest and tallest mountain by far, rising dramatically out of the wilds of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures. A focus of mountain worship for eons…

Republicans to Cut Programs Popular with ConstituentsIn Congress 25 Arrested Others Removed

The Hill note, Republicans are taking a mighty gamble by pairing tax cuts for the richest Americans with cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and clean-energy tax credits. Each of those programs is popular among Republican voters, …; a KFF poll from March found that 77% of Americans, including 64% of Republicans, have a positive view of Medicaid. 97% of Americans believe that Medicaid is important in their community. Republican lawmakers dare gambling that voters will be willing to lose services in exchange for putting Trump's agenda into law.
But it will not be an easy sell. When ..Committee began the process of debating and amending their section of the bill today—the section of the bill that outlines the cuts to Medicaid—committee chair Brett Guthrie (R-KY) explained that the proposed cuts were designed to “stop the hillions of dollars of waste, fraud, and abuse in the Medicaid program” and are “all commonsense policies that will return taxpayer dollars to middle-class families.” Attendees who hoped to protect Medicaid, many of them in wheelchairs, disagreed. They began to chant “no cuts to Medicaid” and “waste, fraud, and abuse, my ass.” Activist Julie Farrar told Ben Leonard and Hailey Fuchs of Politico that there were about 90 people there from the disability rights organization ADAPT. They were, she said, “fighting literally for our survival right now.”

It is against the law to protest inside congressional buildings. U.S. Capitol Police arrested 25 people and removed others.

Republicans Give to the Rich and Take from the Poor

Republics Give to the Rich and Take from the Poor
..cuts are on the menu in the House, where Republicans have been pulling together a measure to enact Trump’s agenda in what he calls “one big, beautiful bill.” AP reported that at least 11 committees have been working on their pieces of the bill, but the pieces produced by the Ways & Means, Energy & Commerce, and Agriculture committees have been the most closely watched.Those committees released their plans over the past few days, beginning with the Committee on Energy & Commerce late Sunday night. Together, they call for extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts that benefit primarily the wealthy and corporations. This has been Trump's top priority. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, extending those cuts will add at least 4.6 trillion to the national debt over the next 10 years. The Committee on Ways and Means calls for raising that ceiling by $4 trillion.At the same time that it funnels money upward, the proposed bill also cuts programs that benefit ordinary Americans. It cuts funding for climate initiatives passed by Congress in the 2022 . It cuts the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that 42 million Americans rely on. And, despite Trump's repedated promises not to touch Medicaid, the program that provides healthcare for poorer Americans, the plan calls for cuts to Medicaid. The CBO estimates that the cuts will take away healthcare from at least 10.3 million Americans over the next decade.

Musk Gets More Tax Money, NASA Being Cut, Environmental Damage

Musk has the power of the United States government behind him. In December, Trump nominated Musk associate and billionaire Jared Isaacman to become the next head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Senate has not yet confirmed Isaacman, but the Republican-dominated Senate Commerce Committee advanced his nomination last week. The president’s proposed budget, released Friday, calls for cutting about 25% of NASA's funding—about $6 billion—and giving $1 billion of the money remaining to initiatives focused on Mars.

Yesterday the FAA granted permission for SpaceX to increase the number of rocket launches it attempts from Boca Chica, Texas, from 5 to 25 per year after concluding that additional launches would have "no significant impact” on the environment near the launchpad. The first test of a SpaceX rocket launch there in 2023 caused the launchpad to explode, and the spaceship itself blew up, sending chunks of concrete into the nesting and migration site of an endangered species and starting a 3.5-acre fire. In their hurry to rebuild, SpaceX officials ignored permitting processes. According to Texas and the Environmental Protection Agency, the company then violated environmental regulations by releasing pollutants into bodies of water.

Some absolute gems quoted in the Guardian's article about the Tony Blair Institute's attack on the climate.

A couple that stand out to me:

"these techsolutionist remarks have to be seen for what they are: tech lobbying”

and

"it’s a bit odd
"By odd, I mean there’s a lot of bollocks in it and shouldn’t be taken seriously”

Nearly half of Indonesia’s peatlands are vulnerable to flooding due to degradation from exploitation, with 6 million hectares (15 million acres) — twice the size of Belgium — highly at risk.

Peatland drainage, subsidence and fires have significantly reduced the water retention capacity of these carbon-rich ecosystems, leading to inland and coastal flooding, particularly in Sumatra and Borneo.
