Electric cars are becoming cost-competitive with gas ones, just as renewables are now competitive with gas-fired power plants. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/03/b...
More efficient manufacturing, falling battery costs and intense competition are lowering sticker prices for battery-powered models to within striking distance of gasoline cars.
Trump told Fox that climate change would cause sea level to rise "one-eighth of an inch in 400 years." Turns out, he got that from a source that said "one-eight of an inch per year." That's about four feet in 400 years.. My guess is that he didn't do too well with story problems in grade school.
They say the perfect is the enemy of the good. In climate policy, this is true in spades: Waiting in the hopes of getting a perfect policy leaves extra CO2 warming the planet for centuries -- even IF the gamble pays off and you eventually get the ideal policy. legal-planet.org/2024/06/03/w...
We can’t afford to turn down half-measures in the hope of getting perfect climate policies later — delay is just too costly. When your house is on fire, you can’t wait to act until Amazon delivers you...
People seem strangely unaware of just how much Biden has done about climate change. He's unleashed a bevy of climate actions. Here's a partial listing, including only the thirty biggest initiatives. A complete U-turn from Trump's climate denial. legal-planet.org/2024/05/13/f...

Trump's reelection would wipe out the last four years of climate action, set off a massive expansion of fossil fuel production, gut EPA's budget and accumulated expertise, and pack the lower federal courts with anti-regulatory zealots. legal-planet.org/2024/05/13/p...
Trump not only wants to roll back all federal climate policies; he also wants to ramp up fossil fuel production through the roof. A true climate arsonist.
