UK sees Labour landslide with green policies at heart of platform<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
\u2018HISTORIC\u2019 RESULT: The UK Labour party has declared a \u201chistoric\u201d victory in the country\u2019s general election, while the Conservatives suffered their worst-ever defeat, the Financial Times reported. BusinessGreen said that Labour\u2019s \u201csizeable majority\u201d would provide the party with a \u201cclear mandate for its ambitious green plans\u201d. It added this includes a decarbonised power system by 2030 (more on this below), ending new oil and gas licences and a foreign policy \u201creset\u201d based around international climate diplomacy.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Biden Calls Climate Denial \u2018Dumb,\u2019 Announces New Heat Protections for Workers.<\/strong> The proposed regulation from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration comes as a heat wave settles over California this week and triple-digit heat is also expected to scorch Portland, Ore., over the July 4 weekend. That follows an early heat wave last month that had much of the country sweltering. Mr. Biden noted that extreme heat is the deadliest weather-related hazard in the United States, responsible for more deaths than floods, hurricanes and tornadoes combined. Climate change, driven by the burning of oil, gas and coal, is causing heat waves to last longer. Last year, the hottest in recorded history, brought 2,300 heat-related fatalities in the United States… The regulation, if implemented, would for the first time require employers to monitor workers and provide rest areas and water when the heat index reaches 80 degrees or higher. <\/strong>Employers would also be required to establish heat safety plans. The rule could apply to about 35 million Americans who work both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n

A report released today<\/a> by California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara found that heat waves have cost Californians at least $7.7 billion over the last decade and killed nearly 460 people.<\/strong> (That\u2019s likely an undercount, according to a 2021 Los Angeles Times investigation<\/a> that found high temperatures killed nearly 4,000 people between 2010 and 2019.) The seven heat waves studied in the report affected nearly the entire population of California, around 12 times more people than the seven most-recent deadly wildfires. And, the report notes, heat is life-threatening to all Californians, but especially the elderly, young children and people of color who are more likely to have underlying health problems and lack access to air conditioning.<\/p>\n

DELAY OF GAME:<\/strong> [The big California legislative victories last year were SB 253 \u2013\u2013 which mandates disclosure of greenhouse gas emission data by all U.S. business entities whose total annual revenues exceed one billion dollars and \u201cdo business in California\u201d \u2013\u2013 and SB 261, which requires large companies to report their climate-related financial risk.] \u00a0Politico says: We were waiting for the other shoe to drop on SB 253 and SB 261 \u2014 it did on Friday. Newsom\u2019s Department of Finance proposed a 2-year delay<\/a> to both the state\u2019s nation-leading corporate emissions reporting and climate risk reporting laws.The budget trailer bill language<\/a> would give the California Air Resources Board until 2027 to write rules for businesses to start reporting their emissions and their climate-related financial risks. Companies would have until 2028 to comply.<\/p>\n

A federal judge in Louisiana on Monday put the Energy Department\u2019s pause on natural gas export permits on hold, dealing another legal blow to the Biden administration\u2019s climate agenda.<\/a> Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana, a Trump appointee, granted a request for a stay from 16 red states that had challenged the pause, arguing it will harm their economies. [Ironically, a new gas export facility is building high wall around it to protect from the sea level rise fossil fuels are causing.]<\/p>\n

BLM Signals Federal Land Is Open for Renewables<\/a>. <\/strong>In May 2024, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM or the Agency) issued a final rule updating its renewable energy and right-of-way (ROW) policies. BLM is one of the largest landholders in the United States, with significant landholdings west of the Mississippi River in particular, and the final rule signals the Agency is open for renewable development on those lands.<\/strong> To drive the growth of renewable energy on BLM lands, the final rule reduces costs and institutes a streamlined administrative process for renewable energy projects.<\/p>\n

Community solar<\/a> allows customers to reap electric bill savings by subscribing to a share of a local solar project, <\/strong>rather than installing their own array. It\u2019s an arrangement that ideally makes the benefits of solar more accessible to people who live in rental or multifamily housing and those who just can\u2019t afford the upfront cost of rooftop systems. Forty-two states<\/a> have community solar projects in place \u2014 but the precise nature of who has benefited remained unclear. Until now. A June study<\/a> by researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory<\/a> and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory<\/a> that analyzed data from 11 states found that people who adopt community solar are 6.1 times more likely to live in multifamily buildings, are 4.4 times more likely to rent, and earn 23 percent less annual income than rooftop solar adopters, who skew wealthy<\/a>. <\/strong> This study brought together demographic data, both measured and modeled, from more than 100,000 rooftop solar owners and 75,000 community solar adopters, O\u2019Shaughnessy said. Notably, California wasn\u2019t included; it lacks a robust community solar market \u2014 and regulators seem hell-bent<\/a> on keeping it that way. Despite finding overall that community solar boosts clean energy access, the team found that the offering doesn\u2019t increase solar access among minorities. Asians, Asian Americans, Blacks, and Latinos aren\u2019t any more likely to adopt community solar than rooftop solar \u2014 at least not yet.<\/p>\n

\u2018Summer of Heat\u2019 Activists Blockade Doors of Citigroup Headquarters <\/strong><\/h4>\n

As part of the second week of the \u201cSummer of Heat on Wall Street,\u201d a direct-action campaign targeting banks and financial institutions, hundreds of activists<\/a> demonstrated outside the New York headquarters of Citigroup to protest its financing of fossil fuel projects. The bank is the largest financier of oil and gas companies that expanded their productions last year, according to the Rainforest Action Network\u2019s Banking on Climate Chaos <\/a>report. \u00a0\u201cWe do not want to be here, but we feel we have to,\u201d said New York Communities for Change campaigner Alice Hu at the rally, amidst boos and heckles from the onlooking crowd. \u201cThe fires, the floods, the famines and the mass, forced migration from the climate crisis are because of the $396 billion that Citibank has poured into fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of North America\u2019s largest areas of interconnected glaciers is melting twice as quickly as it did before 2010, a team of scientists said Tuesday, in what they called an \u201cincredibly worrying\u201d sign that land ice in many places could disappear even sooner than previously thought.<\/a> The Juneau Ice Field, which sprawls across the Coast Mountains of Alaska and British Columbia, lost 1.4 cubic miles of ice a year between 2010 and 2020,<\/strong> the researchers estimated. That\u2019s a sharp acceleration from the decades before, and even sharper when compared with the mid-20th century or earlier, the scientists said. All told, the ice field has shed a quarter of its volume since the late 18th century, which was part of a period of glacial expansion known as the Little Ice Age.<\/p>\n

From the excellent Blogpost: HEATED<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Big Meat is looking more and more like Big Oil every day. Large producers are getting sued over false sustainability marketing<\/a>. They\u2019re spending millions to influence academic research<\/a> that downplays the industry\u2019s pollution. And they\u2019re pressuring major scientific bodies to censor themselves<\/a> about Big Beef\u2019s methane emissions.<\/p>\n

[Blog<\/a> writer Emily Atkin also found a fascinatingly awful MAGA meat picture on Instagram. \u00a0What would you title it?]<\/p>\n
