Australia could miss clean energy target as solar and wind investment slumps, investors warn Expert warns large pipeline of potential projects will not deliver required energy capacity unless companies make final investments

Remarkable to see this finally being uttered out loud but I'm wondering why it took half a decade (including three years under the Labor gov't) for it to be even acknowledged as a problem.

The Free Market sucks at causing a rapid energy transition. Gov't policy can potentially not suck.

An event for the community, by the community!

Trump’s Tariffs Should Force a Reckoning With America’s Soy Industry The industry became the world’s second largest not because of human demand for soy, but to feed China’s pigs.

"How much soy we produce shouldn’t be a barometer for how well our agriculture sector is doing, but for how unsustainable it is."

I wrote for @newrepublic.com that the trade war with China shows we grow too many crops to feed not people but factory-farmed animals.

This, and especially the meat-eating, should not be up for debate *especially among visible climate/enviro folks in the global north*. The inefficacy objection to individual action falls apart when you consider the visibility of communicators' actions.

As fires, floods and droughts destroy communities across the country, the Trump admin is working to undermine the court-affirmed scientific determination that allows EPA to regulate the harmful greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the intensity and frequency of these extreme weather events.

Great thread on how climate change is intensifying sudden downpours and exacerbating flash flood risks — and why it's important to understand the differences between extremes and means.

Trump’s budget hurts the fight against climate change, but all is not lost OPINION: “When it comes to stopping climate change and creating a cleaner, more prosperous future for Americans, it’s not game over. It’s game on,” Jonathan Foley writes.

I have a piece in the SF Chronicle today arguing that Trump’s can't totally stop US action on climate change.

There is much we can still do — with or without the federal government.
