So we have something interesting on the ballot for my county.

San Mateo County voters have a chance to do something few counties in California have done: write climate resilience directly into their charter.

Measure L would amend the preamble of the San Mateo County Charter to designate long-term resilience to extreme weather events, including fire, flood, wind, rain, heat, drought, and sea level rise, as a County priority. 

Most climate resilience commitments live in strategic plans, resolutions, or budget line items. Those tools matter, but they can be rewritten or quietly dropped by a future board with different priorities. A charter is different. Its the Countys foundational governing document, the one that outlives every single Board of Supervisors, budget cycle, or election.

The Return of the Brazilian Far Right Is a Climate Catastrophe

They beg for money from billionaires to pay networks owned by billionaires to run ads benefiting the presidential campaigns of candidates whose personal agendas are acceptable to the billionaire class, whose employees broadcast the presidential debates, and ask the questions, which the same billionaires' employees will review in very serious articles and video news segments written to favor the billionaires' favorites. Gosh! I have no idea why!

From crop failures to coral bleaching, a new tool developed by climate scientists aims to predict in detail the impacts of each megatonne of carbon emissions

The emissions from a single coalmine expansion might not seem like a lot when compared with the scale of global emissions, which are measured in gigatonnes (thats one thousand million tonnes).

However, scientists have been saying for years that every tonne of carbon dioxide adds to global warming, and every fraction of a degree increase matters.

Now, a group of climate scientists have released a new tool that shows the possible consequences of those emissions in detail. The Carbon Impacts Tracer uses peer-reviewed studies to estimate the impact of every megatonne of emissions on people and the environment.

Onenigheid over VN-klimaatrapport zet internationale samenwerking en klimaatdoelen onder druk

De toekomst van het belangrijkste internationale klimaatrapport staat onder druk. De 195 aangesloten landen van het VN-klimaatpanel IPCC werden het na een week vergaderen niet eens over de planning van nieuwe rapporten en over de begroting. Volgens klimaatdeskundige Leo Meyer kan dat grote gevolgen hebben voor het internationale klimaatbeleid.

As long as gas stays expensive, the gap between the electric vehicles Americans want and the electric vehicles dealers can sell them is likely to remain. Decisions such as ending the tax credit, rolling back fuel economy standards and banning Chinese technology all make it harder to build them, which means Americans will continue to have fewer affordable electric vehicles to choose from.
