Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.
The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.
Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.
Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

A component of what's happening now is that the people of Minnesota found a high-profile, highly effective way to resist the Trump administration's policies—to thwart them, rather than just protesting against them.

Perfect time for NOAA to stop tracking billion dollar disasters. The intent is to hide from the public the costs of climate inaction.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

Something you can use in research or advocacy: the government just updated the CDC’s Environmental Justice Index with some climate info. The index measures the cumulative impacts of environmental burden through the lens of human health and health equity. www.atsdr.cdc.gov/place-health...

100%. Plus, the discourse has convinced many that 1.5 C is a “tipping point” as opposed to a policy milestone that signifies that we are already experiencing dangerous climate change, and the discourse is laying groundwork for a loss of credibility when 1.50 C turns out to be nothing special.
Missing targets RAISES the urgency of near-term action, it doesn't relax it. But setting out unachievable targets as 'do or die,' as has been the case around 1.5°C for a decade, absolutely feeds fatalism. I've seen it so often in the young people I talk to and teach as well as friends & neighbors.
