Trump Admin Plans Overhaul of Endangered Species Act
Sweeping change would follow from redefining a single word: harm.
While the plain text of the Nixon-era law prohibits the harming of endangered species, regulatory agencies have taken an expansive view that also prohibits modifying or degrading habitats where wildlife resides. The subsequent regulation has bedeviled conservatives and industry alike for decades. But now the administration intends to define “harm” as an attempt to “take” an endangered species, that is, “to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect” the animal itself.
For instance, hunting the northern spotted owl would remain illegal under the new rule; building a home or logging timber in a habitat where that bird is known to roost likely would not.

Data shows growth in atmospheric CO2 is much more than just fossil fuel emissions: 2024 increase in CO2 was 29.3 billion tons. But fossil fuel emissions only added 15.1 billion tons. Where did the other 14.2 billion tons (48%) of CO2 come from? Not fossil fuels
Latest data show (again) that the growth in atmospheric CO2 is much more than just fossil fuel emissions: 1. New NOAA data report that atmospheric CO2 increased by 3.75 parts per million in 2024. https://t.co/3Du8r9rEuH 2. Each ppm of CO2 weighs about 7.82 billion tons. 3.
