Carney continues to repeat this incorrect and misleading line that projects weren’t being built under the previous government to justify the sweeping environmental deregulation agenda he is pursuing. But as I reported a year ago, hundreds of billions of dollars worth of projects were happening.

Unlike so many others, the @financialtimes.com nails the "OMG, 1.5℃ is gone" message: "Temperature overshoot requires urgent action" Yep. And every 0.01℃ matters. Reminds me of my NYT oped with @costasamaras.com: "The widely recited '12-year deadline' is wrong — and right." gwagner.com/12years

UN report: temperature overshoot requires urgent action to keep warming in line with Paris accord

With children, days might last forever, but years fly by. Something similar applies to climate policy. The current days of delay and debates can seem to drag on forever, but the next presidential election is right around the corner, and so is 2030. Concrete, realistic deadlines focus the mind and jump-start action. And jump-start we must.

straight up misinformation from Politico Power Switch today: "The Clean Air Act was never designed to regulate planet-warming pollution." the definition of air pollution in the 1970 Clean Air Act deliberately mentions weather and climate, in part because carbon dioxide was known to be dangerous.

All language referring to effects on welfare includes, but is not limited to, effects on soils, water, crops, vegetation, manmade materials, animals, wildlife, weather, visibility, and climate, damage to and deterioration of property, and hazards to transportation, as well as effects on economic values and on personal comfort and well-being.
