Galveston activists sue over Endangered Species Act exemption for oil and gas industry in the Gulf Environmental activists in Galveston have joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration after its decision to exempt oil and gas companies from adhering to protections under the long-standing Endangered Species Act. Trump administration officials within the Endangered Species Committee voted unanimously on the exemption last week after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth triggered the vote, citing "national security" reasons. Joanie Steinhaus, ocean program director for Turtle Island Restoration Network, an ocean conservation nonprofit that has a main office in Galveston, said the exemption would leave a number of Gulf species and ecosystems unprotected and vulnerable to extinction, including the critically endangered Rice's whale and the Kemp's ridley sea turtle.

"To think that … because of actions of this committee that we can see species go extinct in our lifetime, it’s truly unbelievable and devastating to me," Steinhaus said. Previously, under Endangered Species Act protections, oil and gas companies were asked to protect Gulf species by refraining from putting trash into the Gulf and suspending their use of loud technology around whales, according to NPR. In response to a request for comment on...

Trump's 'God Squad' pits energy vs. endangered species, but protecting wildlife can be good for business That committee – the God Squad – includes six permanent members: the secretaries of the interior, agriculture and Army; the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, and the administrators of the Environmental Protection Agency and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A seventh member of the committee is to be a designated individual from the affected state or states. The committee’s rare actions in the past Meetings of the God Squad are so rare that the committee has gathered only three times in its existence. The committee’s authority is limited to very uncommon circumstances in which there are no “reasonable and prudent alternatives” that would avoid jeopardizing a listed species or impair a species’ critical habitat. The committee’s first and most notable case was in 1979. It involved the snail darter, a tiny, then-endangered fish whose habitat would have been harmed by the proposed Tellico Dam in Tennessee. Around the same time, the committee also met to review an exemption application related to water management at the Grayrocks Dam in Wyoming and its effects on endangered whooping cranes downstream in Nebraska. The third meeting of the committee was in the 1990s, when it considered exempting from the Endangered Species Act...

Trump's "God Squad" pits energy vs. endangered species There’s a well-worn debate in U.S. politics that goes something like this: Would you rather have abundant and affordable energy or a clean, healthy planet where wildlife can flourish? It sounds like an either/or choice, but it doesn’t have to be. Many corporate leaders, including those I’ve worked with, know that wildlife conservation can also be good business. That’s worth remembering after the Trump administration took the rare step of convening a special committee known as the “God Squad” to override one of the nation’s most important environmental protection laws, the Endangered Species Act of 1973, to exempt many U.S. oil and gas industry activities in the Gulf of Mexico. What is the God Squad? The Endangered Species Act requires that federal agencies avoid any action that is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any species listed under the act. That includes federal permits for development, mining, drilling or logging. To comply with the law, companies can be required to take actions to avoid harming protected species. Those steps can be frustrating when they add delays and costs to already costly development projects. Early in the law’s history, Congress amended it to include an exemption. It authorized the creation...

US 'God squad' waives environmental protections for oil drilling in Gulf of Mexico Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth said exempting oil drilling was a matter of national security.

Trump might as well just direct the US military's missile at the Gulf of Mexico because waiving environmental protections to allow unregulated oil drilling is going to wipe out whole species.
He doesn't care about any living being

Opinion | This rare species may be extinct by the time Pete Hegseth is done Nicknamed the “God Squad” for its power to rule whether economic or national security interests outweigh the possibility of wiping out an animal species, the Endangered Species Committee has granted two exemptions to the Endangered Species Act since it was created by Congress in 1978. It is composed of the secretaries of the Interior, Agriculture and the Army, and the heads of the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Council of Economic Advisers. The last time the committee granted an exemption was in 1992 when it allowed logging in sensitive areas for the northern spotted owl. Public outcry and litigation ultimately led to that requested exemption being withdrawn. Last week, the committee was convened at the request of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. As gasoline prices in the U.S. have soared past $4 a gallon and diesel fuel past $5 during President Donald Trump’s reckless war on Iran, Hegseth told the committee it was “a critical matter of national security” that fossil fuel extraction in the Gulf of Mexico be prioritized over any species at risk of extinction. Never mind that one of those species is the Rice’s whale, which NOAA itself acknowledges is one of...

NASA's Artemis II, endangered species and oil, low western U.S. snowpack Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. You’re listening to our weekly science news roundup. First, a quick update on NASA’s moon mission, which lifted off last week. Last Thursday Artemis II left Earth orbit, making the four astronauts onboard the first humans in over 50 years to do so. And today is a critical day for the mission as it plans to execute a historic lunar flyby and go farther from Earth than any human ever has. In environmental news, last Tuesday the Endangered Species Committee exempted oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act, or the ESA, despite widespread consensus that it could lead to some species going extinct.

Dionysus - Wikipedia

Dionysus. God of insanity and madness. God of denial. The last and most misunderstood member of the Olymp.

When humans assume to be rational, they deny the divine madness and insanity that leads us. Dionysus punishes this blasphemy with even more, often fatal, madness.

Both lobster 🦞 and humans🧍 produce identical #hormones:

   •   Dopamine = same chemical structure (C₈H₁₁NO₂)

   •   Serotonin (5-HT) = same chemical structure (C₁₀H₁₂N₂O)

Ask me why and what this means? It explains why humans are not fit for life and why humans will soon go extinct.

Researchers stunned after rediscovering creatures once thought extinct in forest A team of researchers at the Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project decided to use new advancements in acoustic analysis to see which thought-to-be-extinct frog species in Panama's forests still survived, according to Smithsonian Magazine. Over the past several years, the fungal disease chytridiomycosis, or chytrid, has devastated amphibian populations around the globe, leading to significant population declines and even extinction in some species. But how can conservationists determine whether an animal species is truly extinct or merely difficult to find, like this species of grasshopper? The researchers set out to find the answer. The result was the rediscovery of four amphibian populations that scientists believed had disappeared completely decades ago. The research team focused their search of the forests on amphibian species that had disappeared during the 2004-2009 chytrid outbreaks. To determine whether these species had indeed vanished, the team used autonomous recording units, or tiny microphones that capture the sounds of the forest. They placed these units in three different locations. During the rainy season, they recorded the forest's sounds for 1 minute every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. They also did traditional auditory and visual frog surveys. The team then utilized pattern-matching software to analyze the...

The swift parrot’s distinctive call was recorded dozens of times in a patch of Tasmanian forest. Then the forest was logged Scientists estimate the endangered bird’s population has slumped to about 750. But the logging agency responsible for clearing its habitat said it acted lawfully

Peer-reviewed studies have found the swift parrot could be extinct by the early 2030s and forestry is the biggest threat to its survival, but bureaucrats have attempted to play down that link.
