Pope Leo--weirdly normal Midwesterner--gave a key climate speech yesterday that couldn't have been more different from Trump's disturbing and dangerous harangue of the generals billmckibben.substack.com/p/a-differen...

Lots of bad news here for the many US communities that could be benefiting from the economic opportunities associated with the energy transition but are being thwarted by Trump/MAGA. BUT states have enormous financial clout and could use that clout to put out a welcome mat for this investment.

Yes. Climate risk = business risk = financial risk.

Climate-fueled disasters are upending lives across the U.S.—yet the EPA is proposing to repeal the Endangerment Finding, the legal backbone for limiting climate pollution. Health and economic risks are sure to increase. Read more in my @reuters.com op-ed: www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Investors and the public benefit from consistent climate risk data, especially relevant as CA faces major wildfires like the 100,000+ acre Gifford Fire."

"Renewable energy will overtake coal to become the world’s top source of electricity 'by 2026 at the latest', according to new forecasts from the International Energy Agency (IEA)."
