Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo produced more than 99.7 per cent of the electricity they consumed using geothermal, hydro, solar or wind power.

Big Oil is quietly paying state legal officials to kill climate litigation
Honolulu's climate lawsuit is an existential threat to Big Oil. So they’re buying Republican attorneys general to defend them in court.

Vegetables are losing their nutrients.
In 2004, Donald Davis and fellow scientists at the University of Texas made an alarming discovery: 43 foods, mostly vegetables, showed a marked decrease in nutrients between the mid and late 20th century.
According to that research, the calcium in green beans dropped from 65 to 37mg. Vitamin A levels plummeted by almost half in asparagus. Broccoli stalks had less iron.

You flood it, you pay for it.
States are considering 'climate superfund' laws to hold Big Oil accountable
As far as I'm concerned every one of those multi-million dollar monstrosities can fall off their cliffs and hopefully their insurnce companies amd the state will refuse to cover their loss.

And that way is to take serious action against climate change. The EPA places a significant weight on cost vs. # of lives saved for any decision they make. Problem is they have modeled that cost wrong and undervalued the cost and economic benefits of increasing the average lifespan.

In Today's Berardelli Bonus we discuss this past year's devastating Amazon drought. The folks at
@WWAttribution
found that Climate Heating, not El Niño, was responsible for the drought, making it 30X more likely. Here's a short summary.
California-size Antarctic ice sheet once thought stable may actually be at tipping point for collapse
Researchers have discovered the base of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, which holds enough ice to raise sea levels by as much as 10 feet, may already be partially thawed.
