In Their Own Words
"There can be little doubt that any significant new effort to conserve biological resources will require a strong federal role. Yet, it is equally certain that major federal initiatives in this area will be controversial. Land use is traditionally a matter of state and local concern, and an expanded federal role in this field will raise serious federalism concerns. Because the externalized effects of land-use decisions were once thought to be principally, if not exclusively, local in nature, federal intrusion into land use matters was generally regarded as unwise and contrary to the spirit of our federalist structure, if not flatly proscribed by the Constitution. An expansive federal biodiversity policy is sure to challenge this traditional understanding." Cornell Law Review - BIODIVERSITY AND LAND, Bradley C. Karkkainen 1997 |
No person shall be ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. (Fifth Amendment - U.S. Constitution)

How to Blow Up a Pipeline
March 2024
Climate activists are watching too many movies and going off the deep end. Left-wing climate activist Andreas Malm recently told the New York Times he likes the idea of blowing up pipelines even though people could be killed. At least 16 universities are pushing the idea. Put this together with the felonious dumping of red powder on the Constitution display case at the National Archives, the soup thrown at the Mona Lisa, and other recent climate stunts and a disturbing picture emerges - these people are off their rocker and really should seek professional help.
Climate Hysteria Driving Land Use Regulation
The climate crazy continues: 84 percent of people surveyed in 8 western states - including a majority of Republicans - support the Biden administration’s extreme 30 x 30 land lock-up plan
Bipartisan effort seeks to block sales of public land
Biden policies yield lowest beef production in decades (higher food prices, here we come)
Overreach I: 9th Circuit strikes down moratorium on coal leasing on federal lands
Overreach II: Biden administration’s citation of ‘indigenous knowledge’ in blocking oil & gas leases draws Information Quality Act complaint for not following the science (article here)
Overreach III: Montana resource group criticizes fed proposals to expand wildlife refuge boundaries for

- Comment from an AmPRC member - The racheting into full-fledged statism has gone from hanging on to land instead of dispersing it to private ownership claims, to expanding Federal control, to an entitlement for Federal acquisition, and now to prohibiting private ownership of land still held by the government. Have Trump's Monument-builder Zinke and the bi-partisan left previously been this explicit in violating the Constitution that does not authorize Federal ownership of the land at all? They don't even try to excuse it as a "fort", and even forts could be sold when not needed.

- lacking evidence of shifting refuge ecology and species composition
- making unsupported climate assertions in violation of the Data Quality Act
- failing to coordinate with local governments and private landowners, as required by law
- failing to consider the impact of more regulation on the state and affected counties

In mysterious surprise move, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Audubon Society drop legal challenge to government approval of cattle grazing in Arizona despite alleged threat to bird species habitat
Tempe neighborhood signs up for dystopian ’15-minute city’ plan where government spy equipment will detect where residents go and who they meet, and render a verdict as to whether they are properly ‘sustainable’
Have We Reached Peak Climate Crazy?
Ag officials from 12 states warn financiers their net zero pledges will have disastrous impacts on agriculture and food costs

- Similar, from the Buckeye Institute:
"To better appreciate the true costs that American farms and households will likely pay for the Biden administration’s net-zero policies and objectives, The Buckeye Institute’s Economic Research Center developed a model corn farm that must play by the government’s new carbon emissions rules. The farm’s operational costs, as expected, all rose significantly. Diesel fuel needed for trucks, tractors, and combines became more expensive. As did propane needed to power grain dryers and heat barns. And prices for the nitrogen fertilizer needed to grow crops rose, too. The economic model then traced how those additional operating costs affected food prices for the American consumer. Once again, prices rose to compensate farmers for the government’s actions. The results are predictable and unsurprising, but many U.S. policymakers seem unwilling to address or even acknowledge them. That has to change, or the United States will face dire economic consequences instead."
