“The technologies needed to achieve it are available, at a competitive price, today. Investment in low-carbon technologies – electric vehicles, heat pumps and renewables – needs to come now for this target to be achievable. Businesses will start to invest when they have confidence in what the government’s long-term policy plans are. We need to see the government’s commitment to climate reflected in the upcoming budget.” - #CarbonBrief

"Where does my idea of progress stand?

The glib answer: Ask me again in four years.

The serious answer: The energy transition can be slowed, but it can’t be stopped. Considering the urgency of #climatechange, any slowing is a problem, but I remain confident that people will figure this out, even if progress isn’t a straight line." #InsideClimateNews.org

sustained winds have increased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher

couple of days if the center of Sara remains offshore of the
northern coast of Honduras."

NASA and Forest Service Use Balloon to Help Firefighters Communicate

“This project leverages NASA expertise to address real problems,” said Don Sullivan, principal investigator for STRATO at NASA Ames. “We do a lot of experimental, forward-thinking work, but this is something that is operational and can make an immediate impact.”

"... the Colorado River runs through two countries and five states on its way to the Gulf of California. Or at least it used to. The river hasn’t met the sea in decades.
