Climate One

Tune in to our conversation with @ucs.org Rachel Cleetus, LA-based real estate agent Claire O'Connor, and former CA Insurance Commissioner @cadavejones.bsky.social here or wherever you get your pods: listen.climateone.org/kWpW6hfQ?sid...

While politicians in Washington continue to debate the severity of climate change, one industry has already made up its mind. In states like Florida and California, the homeowner's insurance is already in crisis, and things are only going to get worse. Can anything be done to fix insurance?

President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill is a near-reversal of the climate legislation passed under President Biden. @cleangridview.bsky.social, @compatibilism.bsky.social, Lisa Jacobson, and John Szoka joined Climate One to explain the changes coming for the clean energy sector:

We're certainly glad you joined the show, and we definitely think the *whole* thing is worth listening to!!

So, what's next for climate investment in the United States? Climate One is joined by @cleangridview.bsky.social, @compatibilism.bsky.social, Lisa Jacobson, and John Szoka to find out:

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act fundamentally reverses much of the clean energy investment implemented under the Biden-Harris administration. And while President Trump insists we are in an energy emergency, the new law will make wind and solar power more expensive and harder to build.

A chart from Bloomberg makes clear how AI investments are imperiling climate goals for Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google, whose emissions have increased by 40%, 18%, 44%, and 70% respectively from FY 2020 through FY 2023.

Big companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Google pledged a few years ago to cut their emissions. But, as this chart from @bloomberg.com shows, the heavy pivot to artificial intelligence is pushing their emissions higher instead 🧪
