Arctic sea ice extent appears to have reached its annual maximum on March 22, 2025. This is the lowest maximum in the 47-year satellite record, with previous low maximums occurring in 2017, 2018, 2016, and 2015.

Rush Limbaugh smoked for 50 years. All those years he said smoking does not cause cancer. Then he was dead from lung cancer. Keep burning fossil fuels, especially coal, for another 50 years and about as many people will be dead from climate change as will die over the next 50 years from cancer.

P.S. Trump gave Rush the Presidential Medal of Freedom for meritoriously lying during his entire radio career about all things all the time.

Trump admin halts $5 billion NY offshore wind project mid-build

By Michelle Lewis | Apr 17 2025 - 12:01 pm PT

https://electrek.co/2025/04/17/trump-admin-ny-offshore-wind-mid-build/

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum gave no indication of what insufficiencies there were in the approval process for the fully permitted offshore wind project, despite Trump’s recent declaration of a national energy emergency that speeds up permitting processes.

The commercial lease for the 810-megawatt (MW) Empire Wind 1’s federal offshore wind area was signed in March 2017 during the first Trump administration.

Why? Trump: ‘We’re going to try to have a policy where no windmills are being built’

The European Space Agency has launched the Biomass satellite to study the world's forests using the first space-based P-band synthetic aperture radar, aiming to accurately measure carbon storage and improve understanding of the global carbon cycle. CBS News reports:

Forests on Earth collectively absorb and store about 8 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually, the ESA said. That regulates the planet's temperature. Deforestation and degradation, especially in tropical regions, means that stored carbon is being released back into the atmosphere, the ESA said, which can contribute to climate change. There's a lack of accurate data on how much carbon the planet's estimated 1.5 trillion trees store and how much human activity can impact that storage, the ESA said.

To "weigh" the planet's trees and determine their carbon dioxide capacity, Biomass will use a P-band synthetic aperture radar. It's the first such piece of technology in space. The radar can penetrate forest canopies and measure woody biomass, including trunks, branches and stems, the ESA said. Most forest carbon is stored in these parts of the trees. Those measurements will act as a proxy for carbon storage, the ESA said. [...] Once the radar takes the measurements, the data will be received by the large mesh reflector. It will then be sent to the ESA's mission control center.

Top-Earning 10 Percent Responsible for the Majority of Global Warming, Study Finds

May 12, 2025

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/05/study-top-earning-wealthi
est-10-percent-responsible-two-thirds-global-warming-research-paper
/

In 2020, the global mean temperature was 0.61C higher than 1990. The researchers found that about 65 percent of that increase could be attributed to emissions from the global richest 10 percent, a group they defined as including all those earning more than $48,600 a year. That includes all those on the UK median salary for full-time employees, which is $49,760.

Wealthier groups bore more disproportionate responsibility still, with the richest 1 percent globally—those with annual incomes of about $166,450—responsible for 20 percent of global heating, and the richest 0.1 percent—the 800,000 or so people in the world raking in more than $608,090—responsible for 8 percent.

“We found that the wealthiest 10 percent contributed 6.5 times more to global warming than the average, with the top 1 percent and 0.1 percent contributing 20 and 76 times more, respectively,” the write in their paper, published on Wednesday in the journal Nature Climate Change. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02325-x

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Of course.

This is news??

When ppl think of global warming, they thinnk of overpopulation... Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan.

In reality, those people aren't the problem.

When the little people refuse to stop polluting the world because they feel poor, the big, rich guys can justify their actions as doing what everyone is doing. Either everybody stops or nobody will stop polluting.

Then Came A Miracle

By Paul Krugman | May 14, 2025

on


. . . Then came a miracle: Dramatic technological progress in renewable energy, making it drastically cheaper, especially but not only as a way of generating electricity. The International Renewable Energy Agency has a striking chart showing how the cost of electricity generation from various renewable sources has plunged compared with the cost of generation from fossil fuels:

Source: IRENA

This technological miracle suddenly made an alternative climate strategy possible, one that was all carrots, no sticks. Instead of using carbon prices or regulations to force people to stop burning fossil fuels, policymakers could subsidize and promote renewable energy, nudging us toward an electrified economy with wind and solar — plus, probably, nuclear, which has its place — providing the electricity. Instead of telling people to eat their spinach, we could be advertising job-creating investments.

Given how cheap renewables have become, the subsidies probably wouldn’t have to be that large. Wind and solar have been taking off on their own:
