Reduced emissions in the United States from 2019 to 2022 resulted in a quarter trillion dollars in savings in climate and health benefits. Vermont becomes the first US state to require big oil to pay for climate damages. There’s a downside to cleaning up air pollution: it turns out smog slows the heating of the ocean. As the planet warms, cities around the world have created a new job: Chief Heat Officer. Heat mitigation measures include opening cooling centres, and installing air conditioning in public housing.
Also:
Mexico’s New President: Mexico elects a climate scientist as president. Nissan’s Electric Future: Nissan, the company with two sorta EVs, says it will stop developing internal combustion engines. Air Conditioner Program Expansion: The program to give out free air conditioners to address climate change is renewed and expanded.Chit-Chat:
Brian is off on a road trip and counting the number of nice days. James discusses recycling, Charlie/stuffed horse, and neighbour deaths.In-Depth:
Chief Heat Officers: From Bloomberg, Chief Heat Officers are developing a global playbook for deadly temperatures. Emissions Reduction Benefits: Increasing use of renewable energy in the US yields billions of dollars in benefits, preventing 1,200 to 1,600 premature mortalities from 2019 to 2022. Vermont’s Climate Superfund Act: Vermont’s bold move to hold oil companies accountable for climate damages.Lightning Round:
Coal’s Decline in Europe: BNEF projects coal could disappear from European electricity generation in just five years. Mexico’s Historic Election: Claudia Sheinbaum becomes Mexico’s first woman president, focusing on climate change initiatives. Hyundai’s EV Sales Surge: Hyundai’s U.S. EV sales were up 42% in May, with the Ioniq 5 having its best month ever. Scotland’s Advertising Ban: Scotland bans SUV and cruise ship ads. BYD’s New Hybrid Powertrain: BYD unveils a hybrid powertrain capable of a 2,000 km drive. Korea’s Renewable Energy Plan: Korea plans to generate 70% of its power from clean, carbon-free sources by 2038. Alberta’s Hydrogen Highway: A new hydrogen highway in Alberta will feature a network of hydrogen refueling stations along the Queen Elizabeth II highway corridor. India’s Renewable Energy Milestone: Coal’s share in India’s installed power capacity drops below 50% for the first time since the 1960s.Closing Remarks: Please contact us at [email protected].
