A Hollow Agreement on Aviation Emissions
Last week’s proposed efficiency standard for aircraft emissions is lower than what the industry is on track to achieve anyway in the next decade."The rub is that the long-awaited standard is lower than what the industry is on track to achieve anyway in the next decade.
As it stands, the most advanced jets being built by Boeing and Airbus (such as the twin-aisle B787s and A350s, or the newest versions of the narrow-body B737s and A320s) already meet or exceed this new efficiency goal."

The Bison Roundup the Government Wants to Hide
A portion of the wild bison in Yellowstone National Park are slaughtered every year outside of public view.
"In
1995, the state of Montana sued the park service to control bison that
roam outside of Yellowstone’s boundary. Montana stockmen feared that
bison could infect local cattle populations with the disease
brucellosis, which can cause cows to abort their calves. For years, the
Montana Department of Livestock had killed bison that left the park.
In 2000, a court- mediated
settlement resulted in the Interagency Bison Management Plan, which
remains in effect today. It basically requires the park service to do
the bidding of Montana stockmen. The park service, in cooperation with
the state livestock department, captures bison inside the park and ships
them to slaughterhouses. This effort has cost an estimated $50 million
since it began 15 years ago. Ninety-five percent of that funding has come from the federal government.
Animal epidemiologists have long noted that the risk to cows of brucellosis infection from wild bison is remote. Not a single instance of transmission has ever been documented."
