So nothing yet again, just another case of you spouting your mouth off about absolutely nothing, hence the name nono. No content, no sense, no accountability, no reality.

Do you ever go back and read your own post? Too funny. So glad you play for the other team.
 
In a quest to shrink national monuments last year, senior Interior Department officials dismissed evidence that these public sites boosted tourism and spurred archaeological discoveries, according to documents the department released this month and retracted a day later.

The thousands of pages of email correspondence chart how Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and his aides instead tailored their survey of protected sites to emphasize the value of logging, ranching and energy development that would be unlocked if they were not designated national monuments.

WASHINGTON — Even before President Trump officially opened his high-profile review last spring of federal lands protected as national monuments, the Department of Interior was focused on the potential for oil and gas exploration at a protected Utah site, internal agency documents show.

The debate started as early as March 2017, when an aide to Senator Orrin Hatch, Republican of Utah, asked a senior Interior Department official to consider shrinking Bears Ears National Monument in the southeastern corner of the state. Under a longstanding program in Utah, oil and natural gas deposits within the boundaries of the monument could have been used to raise revenue for public schools had the land not been under federal protection.

“Please see attached for a shapefile and pdf of a map depicting a boundary change for the southeast portion of the Bears Ears monument,” said the March 15 email from Senator Hatch’s office. Adopting this map would “resolve all known mineral conflicts,” the email said, referring to oil and gas sites on the land that the state’s public schools wanted to lease out to bolster funds.

Swiss authorities ban fireworks as heatwave parches EuropeAP21 minutes ago
BERLIN --
Swiss authorities have banned people from lighting fireworks in large parts of the country because of concerns about forest fires following weeks of dry weather.

Chur, the capital of the southern canton (state) of Grisons, said Wednesday it would cancel its traditional fireworks display on Switzerland's Aug. 1 national holiday.

Other cantons have also warned people not to use fireworks near wooded areas.

Like much of Europe, the Alpine nation has been experiencing unusually hot and dry weather in recent months.

The Federal Office of Meteorology said Switzerland saw the lowest amount of rainfall during the April to July period since 1921. Compared to the long-term average, the country lacks the equivalent of two months' rain.

It said current weather is likely typical of future summers due to climate change.
