Also: “We shouldn’t rely on natural forests to do the job. We really, really have to tackle the big issue: fossil fuel emissions across all sectors,” says Prof Pierre Friedlingstein of Exeter University, who oversees the annual Global Carbon Budget calculations. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models – and could rapidly accelerate global heating

“The average storm hitting the U.S. contributes to the early deaths of 7,000 to 11,000 people over a 15-year period, which dwarfs the average of 24 immediate and direct deaths that the government counts in a hurricane’s aftermath…”
A new study says hurricanes in the United States are hundreds of times deadlier in the long run than the government calculates.
Just lean into it-it's basically truth with a right wing framing. "The govt IS manipulating the climate through a decades-long strategy to support vast shadowy corporations with vested interests to inject proven climate-altering gases into the air. The evidence is all around us. Wake up sheeple!"
Some progress was made with trucks removing debris but there are many more scenes like this as Milton approaches. Not to mention the altered beaches, and therefore slopes to shore because of Helene. Compounding risks make any landfall grizzly, but a Category 4 storm is devastating.
Helene’s mess is still sitting on the streets in some areas of Tampa Bay where Category 4 Hurricane Milton will make landfall (or in very close proximity to). Anything not overwhelmed by storm surge will become a projectile. The surge will be full of debris. www.tampabay.com/hurricane/20...
There are several million cubic yards of storm debris in need of collection, according to a top Pinellas County official.
In a study published on October 3, 2024, Howarth argues the greenhouse gas emissions associated with extracting it, compressing it, and transporting it mean the entire process results in ~1/3 more GHG emissions than burning coal at those end use locations. cleantechnica.com/2024/10/05/e...
The latest study by Robert Howarth finds that total emissions from LNG production and transportation are worse than burning coal.
Wow, we're experiencing a boom in domestic solar panel manufacturing thanks to the IRA: www.utilitydive.com/news/us-sola...
The sector is enjoying massive production investment thanks to the clean energy law, even as it contends with heightened tariffs.
