Republicans threatening tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke and gloating about Europeans dying because they don't have air conditioning are really bad omens for what happens as the climate crisis becomes undeniable and goes unexplained

I am a climate scientist and, same.

This is tonight’s A block

All of these lawmakers are Republicans who voted to help Trump trash clean energy and boost fossil fuels. They have no standing to complain about Canada's wildfires when they're vigorously making the problem worse

US gov is comically grotesque US ambassador to Italy will tour Italian cities in his $450 million yacht. Italian politicians/business execs will board to meet him. Yacht has swimming pool and helipad. Italy shoulders extra security costs This is US "diplomacy" www.ft.com/content/f577...

EU unveils the Electrification Action Plan - calls for the economy to reach 46 percent electrification by 2040, double current levels -key move is lower electricity tax so that elec is not taxed more than gas But lots of work ahead to solidify into law gasoutlook.com/analysis/eu-...

New: The US is suffering multiple climate-driven disasters this week - wildfire smoke, heat waves, flooding. These "compound events" are likely to become increasingly common, stressing emergency response amid Trump budget cuts. With @zhirji.bsky.social Free link. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Canadian wildfires smother much of North America in smoke. Texas floods. People die by the thousands from extreme heat in Europe. Climate "hushing" doesn't make any of this go away. The ongoing burning of fossil fuels will continue to dial up the intensity

worth noting that LNG does not compete in the power sector in China, despite years of industry claims that LNG is "replacing" coal China has pursued a coal+renewables strategy www.reuters.com/graphics/IRA...

today, ny becomes the first state with a statewide data center moratorium even though the hochul data center pause is less aggressive than ny's data center moratorium bill passed in may, it's still "a gigantic step forward," one advocate told me

big heat in places that aren't used to heat is a dangerous kind of heat.

data center rates hiked, residential rates lowered a bit. This is the result of a 2025 law that created a separate rate class for large energy users so that ordinary people dont shoulder burden for data centers

Gridlab's Craighill: Regulators, responding to data center demand, are approving major gas projects based on incomplete information. Once "hidden" infrastructure costs (contracts for pipelines, gas storage & gas processing) are factored in, ratepayer costs turn out to be 30% higher than disclosed.

"Stunning" defeats for Big Tech in the world's data center capital. This latest proposal to go down was for 107 data centers, a gas plant, 5,000 diesel backup generators, billions of gallons of water use, PFAS and heavy metals and 4,000 cleared acres. But it turns out everyday folks have power.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

well that was quick

the initial pass from the goalie, to chip it over the pressing player, is a highlight by itself
