Climate pollution is driving more explosive fire conditions. This increases the risk of bad fires turning disastrous, just like Victorians experienced in January. Decisions made in Parliament this term will impact how severe future fire seasons become

“We know our industry is funding hate, legitimising environmental destructive companies, and working at the frontline of a US-led rollback on diversity, equity and inclusion” (known as DEI), they said in the memo, while “paying little more than lip service to solving critical issues” that include “spreading hateful content” and “helping polluting industries such as oil and gas rebuff public scrutiny.”
1455 medium and large municipal US drinking water utilities. We find that 67 million customers are serviced by utilities with higher climate risk. Drinking water utilities in the Western US have higher risk due to expected large changes in climate hazards, while utilities in the Northeast and Midwest have higher risk due to existing vulnerabilities and exposure

In Hamburg, a pioneering initiative is capturing waste heat from copper production and using it to supply clean energy to the city’s district heating network. By reusing heat that would otherwise be lost, the project contributes to climate-neutral heating while reducing reliance on fossil fuels

The Week of Action reflects that reality. Across the country, states will introduce new climate bills, hold lobby days & town halls, deliver petitions, publish op-eds, walk out of classrooms, & rally public support—all aimed at starting the year with one message: Taxpayers shouldn’t be the default insurer for fossil fuel pollution anymore

Costs of renewable energy from sun and wind, along with battery storage, have plummeted far below fossil fuel or nuclear energy costs. Renewable forms can be built much faster and more cheaply, have no ongoing fuel costs, nor any dependency on American fracked gas and expensive pipelines — not counting immense savings from avoided climate disasters
