The justices, in a break from the way they have handled most such cases in the recent past, told the challengers to first litigate their claims in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Silvius nodos siccos lichenis colligit (Silvius gathers tangles of dry lichen). saeptum construit et areolam caespitis munit (He's building a barricade and fortifying his small patch of turf). cavete, bestiolas inimicas! (Beware, enemy creatures!)

Trump posted on Truth Social. "Lyinâ Kamala has been informed, legally, that I have, and had, nothing to do with it, NEVER READ IT, NEVER SAW IT, but her ads continue, full blast."
No evidence of a "cease and desist" order can be found... pretty much as we expected.

under the pressures of a growing population, with people requiring ever more fuel both for industry and to heat their homes, England saw dramatic deforestation. With firewood in ever shorter supply, its price rose so high as to make coal a more attractive alternative, which despite its problems was at least cheap. This deforestation story is trotted out constantly in books, on museum displays, in conversation, on social media, and often even by experts on coal and iron. I must see or hear it at least once a week, if not more. And there is a mountain of testimonies from contemporaries to back the story up. Again and again, people in the late sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries complained that the woods were disappearing, and that wood fuel prices were on the rise.
And yet the deforestation thesis simply does not work. In fact it makes no sense at all.

The U.N. has adopted a lengthy "pact" of items for the world to address for a better tomorrow. We asked global thinkers if they'd like to add anything or give more emphasis to certain agenda items.

"Paul Watson, Gardien des Océans: Ode à la Liberté"
Liberté pour Paul Watson, gardien des mers, Héros des océans, face à l'univers,
Son cĆur bat pour les gĂ©ants des flots, Les baleines sacrĂ©es, sous le ciel et l'eau.
EnchaĂźnĂ© pour ses rĂȘves, ses combats infinis,
Il affronte la tempĂȘte, il brise l'interdit, naviguant en silence, entre vagues et fureur, Pour protĂ©ger la vie, contre toute terreur.
Les harpons s'élancent, avides de sang, Mais Watson, debout, défie les vents, Son navire est un phare dans l'immensité, Un cri de justice, une voix de vérité.
Libérez-le, car la mer l'appelle,
Ses enfants des abysses, doux et fidĂšles, Ont besoin de ses bras, de son courage, Pour survivre aux hommes et Ă leur carnage.
Paul Watson, libéré, que ton nom résonne, Pour que jamais le chant des baleines ne s éteigne ni ne sonne,
Tu es leur bouclier, leur espoir vivant, HĂ©ros des ocĂ©ans, rĂ©sistant des vents.â
CĂ©dric Kyoto

A city street may seem an unusual place to save species found in critically endangered grasslands. My new research, though, shows we can use plants from these ecosystems to create beautiful and biodiverse urban wildflower meadows. This means cities, too, can support nature repair.
Species-rich grassy ecosystems are some of the most threatened plant communities on the planet. Occupying easily developed flat land, grassy ecosystems are routinely sacrificed as our cities expand.
In south-east Australia, the volcanic plains that support Melbourneâs northern and western suburbs were once grasslands strewn with wildflowers, âresembling a noblemanâs park on a gigantic scaleâ, according to early explorer Thomas Mitchell. But these exceptionally diverse, critically endangered ecosystems have been reduced to less than 1% of their original area. The few remnants continue to be lost to urban development and weed invasion.
Unfortunately, efforts to restore the grasslands around Melbourne have had mixed results. In 2020 the City of Melbourne took matters into its own hands. Recognising it is possible to enrich the diversity of birds, bats and insects by providing low-growing native plants, the council set a goal to increase understorey plants by 20% on the land it manages.
Creating a large native grassland in inner-city Royal Park would help achieve this goal. Adopting a technique used by wildflower meadow designers, we sowed a million seeds of more than two dozen species from endangered grasslands around Melbourne. All but one of these species established in the resulting native wildflower meadow.
