In E&E News, @zialyle.bsky.social & I talked with @mirandawrites.bsky.social about the new paper Zia led finding climate risks at drinking water utilities (www.nature.com/articles/s43...). EPA eliminated a program that helped water utilities prepare for climate change. www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

Jess Kramer, the EPA water chief, says technical assistance programs shouldn’t be used “as a means to advance local or state climate goals.”

I had a great time talking with @zialyle.bsky.social & @costasamaras.com about their new study on how climate change poses risks to U.S. drinking water. Water utilities for roughly a fifth of the U.S. population are at high risk from climate hazards. abcnews.com/US/climate-c...

“We now expect a 3°C world,” Morgan Stanley analysts wrote earlier this month. They predicted this would be good for air conditioning stocks. Something it would not be good for? Life on Earth. www.eenews.net/articles/big...

happy world water day! 💧my latest paper finds that climate change hazards could affect the reliability of half of all US drinking water utilities, highlighting the need to make our water systems more resilient to future conditions iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Roughly 9.8% of employer businesses were financially impacted by extreme weather in 2022. In some cities like New Orleans, close to 50% were impacted. Why aren't more business leaders calling for stronger adaptation policy??? @andreperryedu.bsky.social www.brookings.edu/interactive/...

Everything about this is perfect: a local Dutch water authority (Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden) is still paying €13.61 a year to the bearer of this bond, which was floated to reconstruct a damaged dike in 1624. The bearer is the New York Stock Exchange. www.ft.com/content/5122...

Happy 400th birthday to the world’s oldest bond
