$20 Billion In Suspicious Biden-Era Climate Grants Remains Frozen As Trump Administration Eyes Supreme Court Fight
Authored by AG News Staff via American Greatness,
A $20 billion Biden-era climate grant program remains frozen despite a federal appeals court ruling against the Trump administration's efforts to cancel the funding. The case could wind up at the Supreme Court in a showdown over taxpayer spending and executive authority.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 6-4 on Aug. 4 that the Environmental Protection Agency likely violated federal law when it attempted to terminate grants authorized under the Inflation Reduction Act.
However, the court subsequently agreed to keep the money frozen through Nov. 9 while the administration prepares a potential Supreme Court appeal.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin canceled the grants in March 2025, citing concerns about conflicts of interest and potential self-dealing among recipients. Climate United, the largest beneficiary, was award...

I work for a major insurer. Much of my industry is fudging the numbers in the face of the climate crisis | Anonymous (The Guardian)
|
|

Insurers are taking on more risk than they should. If – or when – a major disaster hits, the catastrophe will have far-reaching consequencesI work for a major insurer, assessing the risk posed by natural disasters on properties around the world, from family homes to schools, government offices and multibillion-dollar commercial centres. The world is facing greater risk than ever from extreme weather. We are not prepared – and that inaction could have profound consequences for the global financial system.In the face of ever more extreme and unpredictable climate risks, I am coming under pressure to cut my forecasts for the losses that disasters will cause in order to make insurance more affordable – and get my employer more business. In some instances, the questioning of our numbers and models is justified. But too often, it is not being done to produce more accurate models, but to artificially lower prices. If this is happening at my firm, which is struggling to compete with rivals' prices, it's...

Reiche Ernte erwartet: Deutschland steigt bei CO2-Lagerung im Meeresboden ein (Tichys Einblick)
|
|
|
An der Börse spricht man vom dummen deutschen Kapital, wenn internationale Kommentatoren das passive Anlegerverhalten der Deutschen bewerten: Sparbuch statt Aktie – Inflationsverlust statt potenziellem Kaufkraftgewinn. Geht es um die Subventionsmilliarden des europäischen Klima-Business, sind die Deutschen wesentlich offensiver, da der Steuerzahler den beteiligten Unternehmen per Gesetzesdekret eine risikolose, saftige Rendite garantiert. Dies gilt auch

Klima statt Geldwertstabilität? Bundesbank legt neuen Klimafahrplan vor (Apollo News)
|
|
|
Die Bundesbank will Klima- und Nachhaltigkeitsziele in immer mehr Bereichen ihrer Arbeit berücksichtigen. Selbst beim digitalen Euro sollen diese eine Rolle spielen. Kritiker warnen vor einer Abkehr vom eigentlichen Auftrag der Zentralbank. Die US-Notenbank verfolgt dagegen einen anderen Kurs.. --- Die Bundesbank steht wegen ihres Klimakurses bereits seit mehreren Jahren in der Kritik. Im Jahr 2024 berechnete sie erstmals einen hypothetischen CO₂-Fußabdruck ihrer damals 3.353 Tonnen umfassenden Goldreserven.
