Think tanks will soon start releasing non-peer-reviewed modeling of how the permitting bill might affect pollution, if they haven't already. Most will secretly have lots of ideology-driven thumbs on scales. One big way to tip the scales is by ignoring pollution associated with oil and gas exports.

Australia is a fairly dry continent. Last year, an area much bigger than Texas completely flooded after extreme rainfall, drowning hundreds of thousands of farm animals. Forecasting this type of extreme flooding was seen as unrealistic unscientific doomerism just months before it happened. Morons

Do you have Gotham Greens available? I've been risking it given they grow them locally inside, presumably not using poop water or whatever is causing the outbreak. I originally switched to them since food miles is low and they don't use the finishing sprays other organic salads use.
