Transcript: Americans are bananas. People cut them into cereals, fry them with pancakes, and then bake them into breads – making bananas one of the most popular fruits in the United States. But a new study warns that climate change threatens the global banana industry. Most of the bananas sold in the United States come from Latin American countries such as Costa Rica and Colombia. With the warmer climate, these countries may no longer be the best place to grow fruit. Bebber: “Some places like the tropical areas are already very, very hot and are getting hotter.” Dan Bebber, an…
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from withholding billions of dollars in electric vehicle (EV) charger infrastructure funds from 14 states. [emphasis, links added] U.S. District Judge Tana Lin partially granted a preliminary injunction designed to unlock funds for EV chargers’ buildings. The ruling comes after President Donald Trump's Department of Transportation (DOT) announced in February that it would stop providing billions of dollars in funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) formula program, a $5 billion program established by Biden Imparitions to install the EV Chargers network throughout the United States. In May, 16 states…
The Trump administration announced a batch of U.S. oil and gas rental sales, which will cover about 80 million acres, a larger area than the UK. [emphasis, links added] The Behemoth Leasing Sale will be the first offshore lease since Donald Trump took office and is scheduled to take place in December 2025 and will provide 15,000 federal waters throughout the bay. According to the Department of the Interior (DOI), companies that have won bids will lower royalties, which may lead to greater industry interest and involvement in sales. This is the latest move by the Trump administration to pursue…
The United States is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Its oil production has also slowed down due to a variety of reasons, including natural depletion. [emphasis, links added] However, the U.S. Geological Survey just published a study that pointed out that there are nearly 30 billion barrels of undeveloped oil – under federal land, no less. Oil and gas drilling was a controversial topic during Biden’s administration. The government absolutely doesn't like it and has put in serious effort to curb drilling permitted by law. Once Donald Trump became president, the table turned around and drilling federal land…
Two main ways the Trump administration makes hurricane evacuation more difficult » Yale's climate link
When the mandatory evacuation was asked to evacuate before the hurricane, the highway was filled with cars driving off the coast. “One of the spells in this field is to make sure your gas tank is half full in the summer,” said Stephen Murphy, director of the disaster management program at Tulane University. Evacuation can save lives. But after the storm pass, residents think that residents think unnecessary evacuations may reduce trust and make people less likely to evacuate next time, which may deter state and local leaders from demanding a mandatory evacuation. Over the past few years, officials have…
Extreme heat has been felt in much of the country, and summer has just begun. But this won't affect everyone equally. In states such as Texas and Florida, high temperatures reveal serious inequalities in infrastructure, access to resources and government responsiveness. Last summer, more than 134 million people were on extreme heat alerts in the United States, one of the most intense events in recent history, which exposed its still-democratic vulnerability. Obeysser Prada lives in Frisco, Colin County, Texas, one of the fastest growing urban areas in the state. In recent summer, he felt the meaning of his flesh, 110°F…
Newton, Massachusetts, project turns flood problems into pollinator paradise » Yale Climate Connections
Transcript: When it rained in Newton, Massachusetts, the water washed away the road, down the asphalt ditch, and into Cheesecake Brook – a creek that was transformed years ago into a narrow channel lined with masonry walls. During the pouring rain, the stream has more water than it can hold. Rome: “Basically, we designed a system that was set up almost perfectly to cause flooding.” Max Rome works with the nonprofit Charles River Platershed Association. As climate change causes downpours, Brooke is more likely to flood nearby roads and yards. Therefore, the Rome team is working with Newton to restore…
President Donald Trump's administration eliminates one of the most outstanding shrines of the federal government's worship of climate alertness. [emphasis, links added] The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) deleted Climate.gov, a website created during the Barack Obama administration. The federal government page is used to promote expensive and scientific green new deal-style policies. The Climate.gov website is now redirecting to NOAA's pages on climate. “Under the executive order to restore gold standard science, NOAA has transferred all research products from climate.gov to noaa.gov to concentrate and consolidate resources,” a NOAA spokesperson told Breitbart News in an…
Unprecedented June high temperatures along the Northeast Urban Corridor, climate change brings you
An air quality has broken the record for early summer rings in the Midwest as it pushed into the Northeast on Tuesday, June 24, millions of Northeasters ended up suffering from the hottest weather ever experienced in the Interstate 95 Corridor 95 that had experienced earlier in the summer. As the sea wind and full sun arrive a few days after the summer solstice, conditions are close to textbooks – ideally, this heat spread throughout the Northeast and New England. In the mid-Atlantic, the heat further south is more grinding than the recorded grinding. All in all, Tuesday's temperature was…
CNN in the article “As climate change changes, heat waves are becoming more and more dangerous, and we may still underestimate them.” [emphasis, links added] This is wrong and refuted by actual long-term temperature records. The available evidence suggests that although urban areas do experience the well-documented urban heat island (UHI) effect, the nights do experience warm nights, but There is no global trend to increase the frequency or intensity of heat waves after considering urbanization, data quality, and selective reports that plague many mainstream climate narratives. CNN does admit briefly that overnight temperatures in towns and cities are rising,…
