Younger voters mobilizing to make federal election about climate change

OTTAWA — Several hundred Canadian millennials plan to rally in at least 30 cities across the country today, demanding a federal leaders’ debate on climate change. Emma Jackson, a field organizer with the group Our Time, says the science is clear that humanity only has 11 years to get a grip on g...#oilspill There are so many, I don't have time to post them all - but this was a large one.

In Conservative Indiana, Utility Chooses Renewables Over Gas As It Retires Coal Early
forbes.com
Renewables are so cheap in Indiana that one of the state's utilities is retiring coal early and filling the gap not with natural gas, but with wind and solar.#Climateemergency
“We wanted to know what’s the most conservative estimate of what the climate will be for 520 major cities in 2050,” said Tom Crowther, a researcher at ETH Zürich, and senior author of the study.
“The changes we found are huge,” Crowther says in an interview.
To illustrate their findings the Crowther Lab in Switzerland created a global data map that pairs one city’s future climate conditions with current ones.
Generally speaking, cities in the Northern Hemisphere will have the climates cities more than 620 miles to their south have today, he said.
There are no good pairings or analogues for more than 22 percent of the world’s major cities—those with one million or more people currently, researchers found. Those 115 cities, including Washington and 16 other U.S. cities, will have unprecedented climate conditions by 2050 compared to what they saw in 2000, the baseline for the study.“
Oh my, between this report and “Killer Heat in the United States: Climate Choices and the Future of Dangerously Hot Days”, just published in Environmental Research Communications, by the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Earth’s climate future promises to be devastating, if we don’t hurry up and take action. Government officials have to wake up now to drastically reduce greenhouse gas & carbon emissions. And the fossil fuel industry has to take responsibility.#Scotland the Brave!
"Between January and June 2019, Scotland produced 9,831,230 megawatt-hours of electricity. That's enough energy for the country to provide power up to 4.47 million homes, nearly double the amount Scotland actually has.
By 2030, the Scottish government hopes to be using renewable energy for half of its entire energy consumption. They also hope to eliminate CO2 emissions almost entirely from its energy infrastructure by 2050."
Go Scotland! Committing to and successfully reaching renewable energy goals takes work, but it is urgently necessary work, which can be done. Along with the rest of the countries of the Earth, the US needs to declare a climate emergency and pledge to move to a safer energy future, with 100% renewable power and a complete shut down of fossil fuels.
