DENVER — Minority neighborhoods make up more than half of all acreage in Denver, but they account for less than a third of the city's tree canopy, a 9Wants to Know investigation found. Neighborhoods with fewer trees are hotter, which is significant as the world warms. In the 10 Denver neighborhoods with the most tree cover, the majority of residents are white. Only one of the top 25, Harvey Park South, is a neighborhood that is not mostly white. Meanwhile, minority neighborhoods make up 13 of the 25 worst neighborhoods for tree canopy cover. 9Wants to Know compared Denver's 2020 tree

President Joe Biden said he would take "strong executive action" on climate change following the apparent failure of Senate Democrats to reach a deal on major green energy legislation. The pledge is a response to news that Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, a centrist of West Virginia who has been the main holdout in Democrat-only reconciliation process, said he isn't prepared to support new climate spending and tax hikes right now because of high inflation. (Snip) He added that actions he would take "will create jobs, improve our energy security, bolster domestic manufacturing and supply chains, protect us from oil and

This was going to be her first trip away since the pandemic. She was afraid of getting the virus," Haskell, a former TV host and New York socialite, told Page Six on Thursday. Haskell said Ivana Trump was looking forward to going on vacation because she had "totally locked down" during the pandemic and "wouldn't go anywhere" because she was afraid of catching COVID-19.

New concerns about Joe Biden’s age and mental and physical health are raising the question: What is the president’s real exit strategy? Biden was greeted over the weekend by a long story in the liberal New York Times about his age, with a number of aides anonymously quoted as showing concern about him falling over or being unable to read even the teleprompter. (Snip) Whether it’s the attempted handshake with no one there, the inability to complete a sentence without flubbing, the reading of “repeat line here” in the teleprompter or the fall from his bicycle, Biden has been hammered

Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) restaurant, Shooters Grill, has closed its doors after the building in Rifle, Colorado, changed ownership and did not renew its lease. The restaurant, where staff were encouraged to carry guns openly, closed for the foreseeable future on Sunday after operating for eight years. The business made Boebert a local celebrity and propelled her into the spotlight that led her to win election to the U.S. House in 2020. “We were like a family,” she told the Post Independent, a local outlet. “I would say Shooters, for any employee, was their life. We lived and breathed it

Gov. Gavin Newsom is pushing back on criticism and news stories about his family vacation to visit his in-laws in Montana for the Fourth of July. A law then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed in 2016 bans taxpayer-financed travel to Montana and other states with policies that discriminate on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation. Among countless state and national headlines blasting the governor's visit to his in-law's ranch, FOX News dubbed it the latest example of Newsom "flouting his own state laws." But some key details were overlooked, or dismissed, in the frenzy, Newsom said. “My frustration with the

President Biden insisted Tuesday that Democrats want him to run for reelection, firing back at doubters after a poll showed a majority of primary voters wanted someone else at the top of the ticket in 2024. “They want me to run,” Biden said Tuesday evening when asked by a reporter, towards the end of the White House congressional picnic, for his message to Democrats who don’t want him to run for reelection. “Read the polls. Read the polls,” Biden continued. “You guys are all the same. That poll showed that 92 percent of Democrats if I ran would vote for

Without realizing they were starting a movement in green energy policy, leaders of a small Sonoma Valley city seem to have done just that when they questioned the approval process for a new gas station — eventually halting its development and others in the future. “We didn’t know what we were doing, actually," said Petaluma Councilwoman D'Lynda Fischer, who led the charge last year to prohibit new gas stations in the city of 60,000. "We didn’t know we were the first in the world when we banned gas stations.” Since Petaluma's decision, four other cities in the Bay Area have
