    Our latest: We were curious to see how far the US could cut emissions if it adopted just a handful of the most ambitious policies that are already in place around the world. So helped us explore, using their energy policy model: /1

  2. Has anyone done a closer analysis of this tree-planting bill? I get that it wouldn't, on its own, stop climate change and isn't a substitute for cutting emissions. But like what kinds of trees? Where would they go? Who plants them? How would this work?

    Chicken + egg on consumer EV demand: If automakers want to sell EVs, why don’t they advertise? “Auto industry spent $8.6 billion last year on national + local advertising in the U.S., but just 0.3% of that went toward promoting EVs” (via )

    The sculpture contains a mystery. After 30 years no one has fully cracked it. Will this new clue — the last one, the sculptor warns — lead to someone solving it? My latest, and yes there is a climate angle.

    Cities are struggling with the cost of federal requirements to stop releasing raw sewage into rivers. With the Trump administration, those cities have found a sympathetic ear.

    Venemous giant Sonoran centipede (Scolopendra heros) impaled on a barb to roast in the sun. Who’d do such a thing? Answer: Arizona’s year-round resident butcher bird, the notorious, adorable & blocky loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) a songbird with the spirit of a raptor.

    One of the best pieces I've read lately showing how daunting climate adaptation is going to be: on the $119 billion seawall New York is mulling — which will take 25 years to build and might eventually get swamped by rising sea levels anyway:

    There is a lot of GREAT stories coming. Here's a thread on the ones out on day 1 that you can find here:

    The Ninth Circuit just dismissed Juliana vs US—the big children's lawsuit against the federal government for failing to act on climate: "The panel reluctantly concluded that the plaintiffs' case must be made to the political branches or to the electorate."

    Wonder what's planned to protect NYC from the next Hurricane Sandy? This option--a huge sea gate--has been talked about since the storm's massive floods in 2012. A bold solution, or a boondoggle that could make things worse? Thread -->

    CARB does note that these services are still only 1.2% of California's total vehicle miles traveled — but they're also one of the fastest-growing segments. The state passed a law in 2018 to regulate emissions from these companies and this report is the first step in that process.

    New report by the California Air Resources Board finds that ride-hailing services like Uber/Lyft emit 50% more CO2 per passenger mile than regular cars — even though they use more efficient vehicles — because they travel passenger-less much of the time:

    Lots of interesting replies, but worth highlighting responses from and questioning whether this trend was real, since there are uncertainties in data. Response from authors here:

    Smart piece by : Addressing climate change is going to require the building and rebuilding of a staggering amount of infrastructure. America has become really inept at doing that, for a whole bunch of reasons, and that'll need to change, fast.

    Shifting consumption gets a ton of attention, but this report focuses on the fact that there's *huge* room for productivity improvements in many parts of the world — which could really help limit the future growth in pastureland (and hence deforestation):

    That said, they note it's not clear we've hit peak pasture globally just yet. Some regions, like Africa, are expected to undergo a massive expansion of pasture (and hence deforestation) by 2050. Unless… either meat/dairy consumption declines or productivity massively improves.

    This trend is good news for climate change and biodiversity, as and argue here. If there's less need for pasture, much of that land can be given back to nature, drawing down CO2 from the air and providing more space for wildlife:

    One big reason is that livestock producers have massively improved their productivity in many places, thanks to advances in animal breeding, veterinary care, feed quality. So they can produce more meat/milk on less land. See, e.g., this paper on US trends:

    This is a remarkable chart: The amount of land worldwide devoted to pasture for livestock appears to have shrunk by roughly 74 million hectares since 2000 — an area the size of Chile — even as global meat/milk consumption grew significantly.
