Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said on Sunday that 7,000 people have been rescued due to widespread flooding in the state, according to the Associated Press. That number has risen from 1,000 rescued on Saturday.
Scientists currently estimate that sea levels could rise more than six feet by the year 2100. If that comes true, American homes worth nearly $900 billion could be underwater. Not just in the financial sense.
Carbon emissions are causing global warming that will amount to a worldwide disaster unless we immediately bring it under control. The best tool for this is a carbon tax. How clear is this fact? Even Exxon is supporting it.
France is setting a price floor on carbon emissions, paving the way for a strong carbon tax throughout Europe. Over here, we can’t even agree climate change exists. Could be some French plot.
In this bizarre presidential election season, will the Democrats allow petty infighting and lack of vision to successfully put Donald Trump in the White House? Some labor union leaders are doing their best to fuck things up already.
So far, global warming seems pretty OK. On Christmas, I took a walk around the neighborhood with my family and didn’t even wear a coat. It was great. But according to a newly published study, nothing gold can stay.
Climate-change denier and Trump surrogate Sarah Palin, promoting her new film, Climate Hustle, inexplicably challenged just how much of a Science Guy Bill Nye really is: “Bill Nye is as much a scientist as I am,” she said during a Congressional event Thursday. “He’s a kids’ show actor. He’s not a scientist.”
Great news: A study published Wednesday suggests that the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is larger than Mexico, might begin disintegrating much earlier than expected, possibly raising the sea level across the entire ocean as much as three feet by 2100. (Levels in other areas might rise twice as much.)
The climate is changing. The earth is warming. Sea levels are rising. We know all of these things to be true. Today, we have a clearer picture of who could soon be inundated by the mighty oceans, and where they might go ( to a watery grave).
Marco Rubio, junior senator from Florida, which is sinking in to the sea, glibly dismissed a direct question tonight about legislative measures he would take to ameliorate climate change. Marco Rubio is a climate-change denier.
Tonight’s Democratic debate featured the first explicit question on climate change (from a moderator) of the primary season, despite the fact that last year was the warmest in the United States on record. This winter has also been the warmest on record.
In a move that should have come decades earlier, the Obama administration proposed on Thursday a tax on every barrel of oil produced by companies in the U.S—$10 a pop.
Wow, the price of oil is still low as hell. Oil company earnings are terrible. Consumer prices at the pump are super cheap. Oh, that remind me, you know what we could use right now?
We’ve all been naughty over the past century, and we’re finally getting coal (emissions) this Christmas.
The weather doesn’t care how you feel about it. So the question of how you ought to feel about the weather—specifically, about the wave of warmth that covered the eastern United States this past weekend, and that promises to linger through Christmas—is a human question. What does a warm December signify?
The big Paris Climate Discussion Meeting thing has wrapped up, with much optimism about the 195-nation agreement to deal with climate change. However: we did not get the one thing we really need.
Yesterday, while Donald Trump was calling for a ban on Muslims entering America, Bernie Sanders was calling for a carbon tax.
The easiest, fastest, and most effective way to slow down the carbon emissions causing climate change is to put a price on carbon—to institute a carbon tax. Will we get one?
During this election season, you will hear candidates argue about lots of things. Only two things are really important.
