Expansion of put targets at risk, MPs say

Planned airport expansion that would result in hundreds of thousands of extra flights a year could risk the government's own goals, a committee of MPs has found.

The report from the cross-party Environmental Audit Committee said the government had also "not demonstrated" that the negative climate impact of expansion would be outweighed by the economic growth created.

From Carbon Sink to Carbon Source

"... the primary carbon store in these Australian tropical forests the aboveground biomass switched from being a carbon sink to a carbon source around 25 years ago."

"... this is largely a response to intensifying climate change."

The American Museum of Natural History in NYC had a climate themed event with Dr. Chelsea Clinton tonight.

Instead of being a leader in the fight against climate change and directly educating the public, museum president Sean Decatur said the philosophy for the museum as an educational institution focuses on "asking questions over making specific statements of fact."

No wonder it hasn't declared a climate emergency as Extinction Rebellion has called for over two years.

Political ideology moderated VRs impact on emotions and risk perceptions but not on storytelling engagement. These findings demonstrate VRs potential to make distant places feel close, foster emotional connections, alter risk perceptions, and promote climate storytelling
