Inside Climate News reports that many Americans don’t want to hear about climate disasters. They have heard, in many cases, just too much. This “Disaster Fatigue” may hurt attempts to make America greener.

New York State has paused any construction of hyperscale data centers. Among the reasons are water pollution and electricity use, which can rely on fossil fuels. Some other states and cities are not far behind.

114 degrees is high, even in Phoenix. Is there enough electricity? Can people with low incomes afford to keep cool? What about the emergency rooms? What about closing down the city’s construction sites? It’s only a series of guesses

Two new coal plants will come online soon. Each has financial support from the Trump Administration. At the same time, it is undermining offshore oil and solar tax credits.

New data is being circulated about Tesla’s fatal crashes. It used a tiny number to make an unreasonable point. For example, it shows Tesla fatal crashes in Maryland rising from three in one year to six in the next. The 100% increase is meaningless for such a tiny number.

City medical personnel have circulated an email that warns a new heat dome could be fatal. The people most in danger are those inside areas with no air conditioning.

Federal money that has been used by Maricopa County, which is mostly made up of Phoenix, to help residents with heat-related health problems has run out. The city is expected to have a record number of 100°F days. And heat deaths this year could set a record.

Oil prices have moved up and down, and up and down. With the Middle East situation troubled again the move is in a direction that favors green energy

A new power for satellites that goes beyond solar

So far this year, wildfires in the US have burned over 3.5 million acres. And, there have been 38,000 fires. Drought and high heat are to blame. Each is triggered by global warming.

They call the yardstick “excess deaths.” These are more deaths in a region than would be expected. In Europe, this figure was 10,000 during the recent heatwave.

Phoenix is having more and more years with 100°F for over 100 days. Among other problems, some people have to decide to pay for either rent or electricity/

We looked at national parks. We examined drought (U.S. Drought Monitor), heat, and fires in the region of all national parks. Based on the data, Zion National Park is the most likely to have a fire this year.

New York City faces another heat dome this week. Among other things, emergency rooms will get crowded, outdoor work will be shuttered, and the grid will be challenged

The best way to measure this is private jet use. She produces about 3,000–11,000 annual CO₂ ton from these jets. An average American’s figure is about 250.

The AAA says that temperatures below 20 degrees F can reduce EV range by 39%. That is nearly 120 miles on an average model. It only has to happen once to make many potential buyers question a purchase

New York City records show that wildfire smoke blankets the city every year. Sometimes, it is not visible to residents; however, it is still dangerous to health. Almost all of this comes from Canada and can’t be stopped.
