Cities can now achieve “what was once thought impossible”: cutting air pollution by 20–45% in little more than a decade. 19 cities, including London, San Francisco and Beijing, cut levels of both PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by more than 20% since 2010.

No Kings protests lining Hwy 1 through Pacifica and HMB, sure, but was not prepared for them to be in Montara and Moss Beach too. Great stuff.

Ironically this would actually be worse compared to the train route I used to take to get back and forth to college in Santa Fe from St. Louis
Like all matters involving nuclear energy...
come for @brianpjcronin.bsky.social’s thoughtful reporting, stay for me getting spicy about propane dealer memes
Yup. Real issue, but no transparency and lots of finger-pointing. Gotta fix it.
Right so: there is evidence of rising climate disaster cost. There is also evidence that those costs have not reduced insurance co profits, and that rates are more correlated with credit score than climate risk. So the burden of proof now should lie with insurers to show that climate is to blame.
Blaming climate stress for rising insurance rates is kind of like blaming solar for rising electric rates. It *feels* truthy but the lack of evidence suggests that feeling may be driven by PR, not reality.
How much of this rise is due to accelerating climate disasters and how much is just using that as an excuse? The correlation between insurance rates and credit scores suggests there is quite a bit of the latter. States can and should require better disclosure.
"The average American homeowner’s insurance bill rose 12 percent last year, reaching $2,948 per year, and will rise another 4 percent this year. This is much faster than overall inflation for the same period."
That is a $435/year rise. Equivalent to the price of gas rising 56¢ per gallon.
A lot.
Hey @jordanhaedtler.bsky.social they are playing your song
This is what they teach you in law school and i am not joking or being cute.
How do you explain, "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast" to a 5yo?
Asking for a Dad who has been watching a kid thrash around with toothbrushing implements for ten minutes
Markets are treating the war in Iran, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, like they treat climate change: not totally ignoring it, but not acknowledging the full scale of the crisis, either newrepublic.com/article/2082...

So are the headlines saying the Democrats won this round, or nah?
Cause they did. Funding for TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, no funding for ICE. That’s the deal Dems have been offering over & over. Republicans caved.
Yeah but that kid is 37 now

I maintain that it is very possible to hate people and still want them all to have healthcare
Hi darth, you missed my kid being tough, but fair
The meteors are that "world falling apart" thing you mentioned, so that should taper off now that darth is back
