Good morning with good news: Global energy investment in clean energy will nearly double fossil fuel investment in 2024. Spending on "renewable power, grids and storage is now higher than total spending on oil, gas, and coal." IEA released today "World Energy Investment 2024."

Climate chaos is the mother of all stealth taxes paid by vulnerable communities. Meanwhile, the Godfathers of this chaos – the fossil fuel industry – feast off trillions in subsidies. It is high time to put a price on carbon & tax the windfall profits of fossil fuel companies.

Over the past 12 months 36% of the World - in deep red - has had a record warm average temperature for any 12 month stretch. It’s an astonishing visual from @Climatologist49 conveying just how quickly our climate is changing.

The large-scale environment during the heart of #HurricaneSeason (Aug-Sep-Oct) still looks ominous in the June update of the NMME (multi-model ensemble). We see -SST anomalies in the ENSO regions, hefty +SST anomalies in the tropical Atlantic, and deep-tropics +rainfall anomaly.

After being slaughtered by a 2-day heat wave, #WindWaterSolar showed its grit by immediately breaking a new record: 26.4 GW peak supply the next day, on Fri June 7. WWS also exceeded 100% demand for 3.4 h, the 84th of the last 93 days with >100% WWS California ISO

Many people asked WHY Florida lawmakers would oppose basic heat-safety measures for outdoor workers - things as simple as water and shade. The answer: They didn't. Many supported it - until the state's business lobby told them to back off. The backstory... orlandosentinel.com/2024/06/11/flo…

Gave a heads up on this 2 days ago, indicating how floods in these parts are trending more severe, more often. And the crazies trolled cuz, you know, blue check marks & the like. And now all hell is breaking loose. I’m telling you, 20th century infrastructure isn’t built for this

Wow! We are watching climate change aka global warming unfold in real time. Things are just starting to unravel. We MUST take dramatic action to reduce climate pollution from burning fossil fuels. It’s that simple.

We should want to protect our neighbors who work outdoors. They keep our economy churning.

“It is, frankly, harder to live in Greater Miami and Fort Lauderdale when your pocketbook gets hit again and again by more frequent short-fused extreme weather emergencies on top of the slow-motion symptoms of the changing climate” My analysis for NBC 6 South Florida👇🏼 nbcmiami.com/news/local/yet…

Protecting our workers is smart economic policy. Taking breaks from the record-breaking heat is critical for productivity and safety of our construction workers, famers & other outdoor workers. I urge OSHA_DOL to finalize a rule to protect workers across the country.

Time to act! Outdoor workers keep this country going!! #cleoinstitute

Historic Major Hurricane Beryl barreling towards St. Vincent & the Grenadines as a 130 mph Category 4 cyclone, the earliest to ever be recorded in the Atlantic and obviously the only one in June. On average, the first major hurricane forms in September. Water temps are +3-5°F 🌡️

Wow! Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' move to strip references to climate change in law will now impact what goes into textbooks nationwide. Absurd on many levels but the extreme heat, intense rain, supercharged hurricanes, tornados and wildfire will only get worse. #cleoinstitute

Yup! Rates go up year in/year out. In last few years, TECO rates ⬆️ 63%; Duke 31%; FPL Panhandle 64% and FPL 51%. And out of 53 utilities nationwide, FL power companies ranked 40th (TECO), 47th (Duke) and 52nd (FPL) in offering efficiency programs 4 customers. #cleoinstitute

Wow! Yet another climate impact making life worse!

What extreme weather?? nytimes.com/2024/07/15/cli…

Say it with us... 👏 Don’t 👏 blame 👏 clean 👏 energy 👏 for 👏 rising 👏 electric 👏 bills 👏 ow.ly/xxj450SBOxy

Wow! though not a surprise since Trump’s said clearly that he wants to be a dictator. No more free elections. No democracy if he were to be re-elected. No way to overestimate the consequential nature of this.

Exactly! And Florida’s US Senator Rick Scott takes this to an art form! floridabulldog.org/2019/04/rick-s…
