#AirPollution #EPA #economics #ClimateChange
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.
See what that could mean at https://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2023/08/the-amoc-tipping-this-century-or-not/
New study suggests the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”

Understanding Biden's LNG decision
There's a lot of politically-motivated misinformation floating around about it. Here's what's really happening.
They knew back in 1954
Documents show industry-backed Air Pollution Foundation uncovered the severe harm climate change would wreak
The fossil fuel industry funded some of the world’s most foundational climate science as early as 1954, newly unearthed documents have shown, including the early research of Charles Keeling, famous for the so-called “Keeling curve” that has charted the upward march of the Earth’s carbon dioxide levels.
#ClimateChange #fascism #authoritarians
Online, I've warned about this for over 2 decades. In desperate times people seek desperate solutions and that makes them prime fodder for any wannabe despot.
Scientists Warn Climate Shocks Could Trigger Unrest and Authoritarian Backlash
Most of the public seems unaware that global temperatures will soon push past the target to which the U.N. hoped to limit warming, but researchers see social and psychological crises brewing.
They only listen to their wallets so hit them there

When Royal Dutch Shell lost a landmark climate lawsuit in The Netherlands, climate advocates said the Dutch court’s ruling put polluters and their financiers on notice. Now, the Dutch NGO that successfully sued Shell over its climate plans is taking those financial backers to court in a case that could help reverse the global banking sector’s support of fossil fuel firms and their activities.
#Brazil #Amazon
Until countries start electing leaders who take #ClimateChange and the #environment seriously, and take strong action to preserve the future, there is zero possibility of solving the climate crisis.
Optimism dries up in Amazon as Lula drifts from climate priorities
Brazil’s president inspired hope a year ago but approval of a new highway shows he remains a concrete-and-oil state builder
#ClimateChange #tarsands #oil #pollution
Surprise surprise. Of course anyone who believed that O&G companies would accurately report their pollution is certifiably insane.
Research published in the journal Science found that air pollution from the vast Athabasca oil sands in Canada exceed industry-reported emissions across the studied facilities by a staggering 1,900% to over 6,300%.s
See the problem?

The fossil fuel executive inside the White House
As Biden faces the biggest climate decision of his term, he's hearing "concerns" from one of his closest advisors—who happens to be a former gas executive.
https://heated.world/p/heres-how-much-democrats-get-paid
Here’s how much Democrats get paid to shill for fossil fuels
Two former Democratic lawmakers made six-figure salaries for falsely promoting methane gas as a climate solution, tax documents seen by HEATED show.
In January 2022, only a few years after leaving the elected seat she held for six years, former Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota got a new job: convincing climate-concerned liberals to love the fossil fuel industry.
I hope Dr. Mann takes these two assholes to the cleaners.

US climate scientist’s defamation case over online attacks finally comes to trial.
Michael Mann alleges, in lawsuit first brought in 2012, that attacks on his work by climate denialists amount to defamation
#construction #hemp #climatechange
This is great stuff. Hempcrete should replace concrete wherever possible.

Unlike the harvesting or production of other building materials like wood or concrete — the latter of which is responsible for 8% of carbon pollution globally — the cultivation of hemp is eco-friendly.

A better way to offset pollution? Buy people heat pumps
I hope they're wrong.

If you use olive oil be certain to stock up as much as you can afford to now. Climate change is reeling havoc in the groves in Italy and Spain. The price will go up a lot very shortly.

The federal Liberal government announced Wednesday that it has signed a deal with Entropy Inc., a privately owned company that has developed a unique modular carbon capture, utilization and storage technology.
The agreement will see the federal Canada Growth Fund — which is making a $200 million direct investment in Entropy — also provide the company with a large-scale, long-term fixed-price carbon credit offtake framework.
