It's nice and cool here in Kansas. Maybe the WaPo should look there for anecdotal incidents of alleged climate change.

of course the summers are warming faster than the winters.  if you know anything at all about religion, that was to be assumed.

holy crap.

i've spent half of this year watching people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to abate asbestos.  good to know that'll still be a job in fifty years.

Total world energy consumption in 2017 was approx 22,000 TWH, a nearly 3% increase year over  year.   So, that "green energy", just a bit short of meeting the demand.

Another example of misleading click-bait headline.

Extremely important clarification: the US never stopped manufacturing products with asbestos in them. IIRC they use around 300-350 tons of asbestos per year.

Also, today's asbestos use isn't the same as the old friable asbestos as filler in every building material use.

 No where did I say "I expect" green energy to meet global demand.  It's actually the exact opposite, I expect "green energy" will never meet global demand based on current trends.   Not without a complete paradigm shift(s) of which several of the choices are not good things.

emawican, if you read the article, it stated that almost all of the asbestos currently used in the us is used by chlorine manufacturers.


if your point was that companies aren't going go around shoving asbestos in building materials again just because the federal govt is relaxing regulations, i agree with you.

Let's slow down on the EPA allowing companies to produce friable asbestos insulation fantasy talking point.

People that live, work, or even visit a building that was built prior to 1985 are around asbestos everyday.

Most companies won't, but some companies are just very poorly run.

Fun fact: asbestos is a naturally occuring mineral.

Made up Fact: you can buy asbestos extract from your young living pyramid scheme dealer.

radon is super bad in Nebraska. we don't have it but some people I know tested for it and had like 30x the level when you need to do something about it. really has to suck when you spend your entire life not burning delicious heaters only to get radon cancer.
