It's a fairytale that world governments will fix our climate crisis. It's up to us It looks as if the phasing out of coal and subsidies for fossil fuels will be mentioned in a Cop document for the first time, and that there will be more money for nations of the global south to "adapt" to the climate crisis.

It's easy to feel pessimistic about the climate. But we've got two big things on our side We are staggering and stumbling towards the real follow-up to Paris, starting 31 October in Glasgow. The international order, such as it is, is held together with baling wire and duct tape.

Climate activists are being killed for trying to save our planet. There is a way to help That we have to fight simply to get our leaders to pay attention to science is frustrating, but there's a big difference between fighting and dying: the names of these activists should be on our lips and in our hearts. We owe them debts that can't be repaid -- only paid forward.

Are We Finally Ready to Tackle the Other Greenhouse Gas? I've long felt that one of my great failings as a climate communicator has come in trying to get across the dangers posed by methane, the second most damaging greenhouse gas, after carbon dioxide. Despite long years of many people trying to underscore the risks of methane, our go-to shorthand for climate pollution remains "carbon."

The U.N. Climate Panel Tries to Cut Through the Smog Inbox+++ We all live in two worlds: a physical one and a social one. The new report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is ostensibly about the physical world. It states, clearly and forcefully that humans are wrecking that physical world. Setting it on fire.

It's Not the Heat, It's the Damage We understand about how much the temperature is going to rise if we keep pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This has been the central scientific preoccupation for more than three decades, translating gigatons of carbon and methane into degrees of warming, and researchers have got it more or less right

No, Alberta, Don't Be Sad. We Love You. Really. Lay aside for the moment the devastation caused by mining the sludgy tar sands for oil. There's no way that a country with less than one percent of the world's population can lay claim to more than a quarter of the atmosphere. Alberta started feeling pressure with the battle over the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have run from the tar sands to the Gulf of Mexico.

We Need the "Whole-of-Government" Climate Fight That Biden Promised It's frightening, both for what feels like a rapid acceleration in the pace of the planet's heating and for what feels like a slowdown in a few key corners of the Biden Administration's attempts to take its measure.

Automakers Start to Figure Out the Climate Future Many of the changes needed to get us on the right climate path are going to meet with resistance, but it's beginning to look as if getting people to accept electric vehicles may not be one of them.

Biden's Earth Day Climate Pledge for 2030 Will Define His Presidency Biden's Administration, after committing to delivering a hundred million vaccine doses in its first hundred days, managed to double the goal and then some. That strategy is politically savvy, especially coming on the heels of a President who did precisely the opposite at every opportunity.

Finally, Green Infrastructure Spending in an Amount That Starts with a "T" The U.S. federal government is proposing to spend a sum of money that starts with a "T" on an infrastructure bill, and much of that money (two trillion dollars) is aimed at fighting the climate crisis.
