The Next Big Emissions Fight Is an Old One: Why Some Conservatives Oppose Clean Air

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:10:59 GMT

Steve Milloy, a longtime lobbyist for polluting industries from tobacco to coal to oil and gas, is back in the news thanks to the wildfire smoke that recently blanketed the U.S. East Coast. Milloy appeared on Fox News to tell people that there are “no negative health impacts” from breathing in wildfire smoke. It’s the latest salvo in a war he’s been waging against air pollution regulation since the 1980s.For industry operatives like Milloy, air pollution, especially the regulation of particulate matter, has long been a greater concern than climate policy. Regulations on PM2.5 —fine inhalable particles generally smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter — would require many of the same reductions in the combustion of fossil fuels that climate policy would, but without any of the politicization that has obstructed climate action for decades. It’s never been easy for politicians to publicly fight against clean air and water, and it’s doubly hard when the country’s largest city is wrappe...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:10:59 GMT

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — As the Florida Panthers made a furious attempt to tie Game 4 — and the series — Saturday night, Adin Hill made the biggest save of his career as he denied Florida’s Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett in the game’s closing seconds to give his team a win and commanding 3-1 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final.“I kind of saw where the puck was and just tried to do anything I could to get a piece of something on it,” Hill said. “In situations like that it’s just full on desperation.”His play this series has fueled the Golden Knights’ success and helped Vegas to a 3-2 win Saturday. The Golden Knights head back to Vegas one win away from hoisting their first Stanley Cup in franchise history. “Hillsy made the saves that we needed him to make,” Vegas defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. “You can’t be surprised. How many games has he played here, as well as he’s played? He’s played well all year for us. All of our goalies have played well regardless of ...

Steamy Sunday Storms

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:10:59 GMT

Much of yesterday was beautiful with plenty of dry time before some late-day storms erupted across parts of metropolitan South Florida. This Sunday will feature fairly similar conditions, although storms should develop earlier in the afternoon.Expect lots of sunshine once again Sunday morning along with a southwesterly wind, which will drive high temperatures back up and into the upper 80s to low 90s by the early afternoon. By this time, a couple spotty showers will begin to develop, with hit or miss, scattered showers and thunderstorms becoming more likely in some spots after 2pm. This elevated risk will continue through around 8pm before most of this activity should fizzle after sunset.A few additional showers and storms could develop overnight tonight, especially across our southern locations, but most areas will be dry with lows ranging from the mid 70s to the low 80s.We will “rinse and repeat” on Monday with scattered showers and storms likely once again, with the m...

It’s a work trip.Her legal team has managed to get restrictions lifted to allow the once-feted MEP to travel beyond Belgium, but only to Strasbourg to attend this week’s plenary session of the European Parliament.“Brussels Judicial Council decided — with the agreement of the investigating magistrate Michel Claise and the federal magistrate Raphaël Malagnini, Kaili is allowed to travel to Strasbourg only to carry out her duties,” her lawyers Sven Mary and Michalis Dimitrakopoulos said on Sunday.“She is not allowed to go elsewhere in France for any other purpose without the permission of the investigating magistrate,” they added.The Greek MEP was one of the first to be arrested last December in raids by the Belgian police as they launched a sprawling investigation into whether foreign countries, including Qatar and Morocco, had b...

New ‘Art Thief’ film reimagines infamous Boston art heist, premieres in Provincetown

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:10:59 GMT

An infamous art heist from over 30 years ago is getting a new rendition on the silver screen.Director Arthur Egeli is set to showcase “The Art Thief” at the Provincetown International Film Festival on June 15. It’s already sold out.With the filming taking place in Provincetown, the crew faced some hurdles in recreating the event. The first problem: You need a Rembrandt.“Being an artist and knowing artists, I could get the best reproductions,” Egeli said. “At least that part, when you saw the Rembrandt, and saw the Vermeer, you would suspend disbelief for that moment and say, ‘Oh my gosh I’m looking at the real thing.'”That sense of wonder is what Egeli hopes to evoke in his audience.Many of the viewers will remember the heist of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, but “Art Thief” might have you look at it in a new way.“I’m hoping that people look at it and go, it could’ve happened that way…and maybe, likely, it did happen th...
