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!"
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.
More Electricity Transmission Lines Would Lower Costs, Increase Reliability - Increased electrical transmission across regions of the United States would save billions of dollars and decrease carbon emissions, a new report finds. #Climate#EnergyGridwww.pnnl.gov/news-media/m...
The National Transmission Planning Study presents several transmission expansion scenarios that would reliably support the growing demand for energy across the nation.
20% of the homes sold in NYC in 2023 are likely to flood within the period of a 30-year mortgage. Of course, these tend to be more affordable homes bought by low-income buyers. Climate change’s impact on housing security is going to be staggering. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/14/n...
New Yorkers are spending billions on houses in flood-prone areas despite growing awareness of the effects of climate change.
