Sometimes the truth hurts. And when it comes to fighting climate change, we have obstacles ahead – including the likely reality that global temperatures in 2024 will hit 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. That’s even before Donald Trump’s return to the White House could bring a big shift in climate policies. But that doesn’t mean the fight is over. David Ho, a professor at the University of Hawaii, explains what the next goal should be and how we could get there.

Good time to remind people what a journalist is/isn't. A journalist: - has to do reporting of some kind (data, archival, source-based) - has to fact-check that reporting - is held to a higher legal standard than op-eds, essayists, commentators (generally can't share an opinion w/o documentation)

Alberta used to get the majority of its electricity from coal. Today, only two dedicated coal plants remain. And hourly data shows the grid got ZERO power from those plants for about half the day on Feb. 2, 2024. That's gotta be the first coal-free period for the province in decades, I imagine?
