Huh. Good point.
Congratulations, anti-wind group people who supported this president.
Ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear are the leading cause of death of this highly endangered species. And the administration is raising the speed limit

Hello? Anybody home?
Climate "hushing" and avoidance has allowed Trump and the fossil industry to destroy decades of effort.
Where is the climate movement? Where are the Democratic politicians?

What happening to winter?
Five degrees warmer now.
Thanks to Ryan Katz-Rosene
Ahh that explains it—the full series clearly has a lower average. And right back to the year of my birth, so I find 1961 a completely sensical baseline!
These are great, but the averages in the warming stripes one seems to not be of the whole series, is that right?
Thanks much, Ryan. Appreciate your time
Let’s get clarification on what the “average” being cited is. Climate is the trend, weather is short term
"The major problem, analysts and environmental groups say, is that governments often lack the staff and resources to properly vet data — making it difficult for agencies to track how accurate the data and reports they receive are."

“The pollutant, released from burning fossil fuels, can trigger asthma attacks, cause bronchitis, and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.”
"At the zip code level, for every additional 20 ZEVs (Electric Vehicles) per 1,000 people, there was a 3.2% drop in the rate of asthma-related emergency visits and a small suggestive reduction in NO2 levels."
People may have seen this. Would love to see updated

"traditional energy states like Alaska, Montana, Texas, and Oklahoma also appear among the top Democratic sources for “Need Fossil Fuels” claims, while states like Arkansas and Michigan, with significant automotive and manufacturing interests, feature prominently in “Solutions Won’t Work” arguments.
"2) separates the original “climate science is unreliable” into claims that attack climate science, data, and processes from those that attack climate scientists and other proponents of climate action."
"Specifically, this revision 1) re-organizes and extends the “solutions won’t work” category, separating attacks on climate solutions from claims supporting the continued use of fossil fuels
"For every one speech that included a contrarian claim from a Democrat, there were roughly 13 speeches that included a claim from Republicans.
..and those representing constituencies with higher fossil fuel employment or receiving more fossil fuel campaign contributions."
"We find that contrarian claims spike during major climate policy moments (1997, 2008-9, and 2015), with “solutions increase costs” comprising roughly one-third of all contrarian claims made."
