As I often say: we need the best climate solutions to ALSO be the most affordable + the easiest, instead of the more expensive + difficult options they often are today. That's the only way we are going to see change at the scale needed to truly live sustainably on a round planet!

A severe cold snap set new all-time cold records in the U.S. How can that happen if Earth is warming?
It’s all about context: In the past year, there were 272 all-time warm temps, and just 62 record-cold temps.
In a stable climate, record highs and lows should be about equal.

Just because it's cold for a day, a week, or a season, it doesn't mean global warming is over. All months have been warming since recordkeeping began in 1880, including December. The main cause: human activities. Stay tuned next month for the Dec. 2022 data point.

"Time value of carbon" is such an important concept. Because emissions are cumulative, we must start cutting NOW, with the means we have, starting with low hanging fruit, rather than wait for big climate solution

Y'all, this is a really big clean hydrogen plant. When Texas does things, it does them at large-scale.
Bonus: it will be built at the site of a retired coal plant and will use wind & solar.
