The U.N. Announces the Hottest Year

Instead, dire things began happening much, much sooner. This spring, the keepers of various data sets pointed out that sea-surface temperatures around the globe were setting records. In July, a buoy off the Florida Keys recorded what some meteorologists believe is the highest marine temperature ever measured, setting in at 101.1 degrees, which is right about where people keep their hot tubs. That extreme heat soon moved onshore; because the northern hemisphere has more land than the southern, th…

A Skiing World Cup Comes to the United States

Minneapolis—where winter temperatures are normally among the lowest for any major metropolitan area in the Lower Forty-eight, about the same as in Anchorage—may have felt the fever more keenly than any place in the country. The Twin Cities set a record twenty-three straight days in which the temperature was above the freezing mark; the final weekend of the U.S. Pond Hockey championships was cancelled, owing to insufficient ice; and the Ice Palace of Minnesota closed for the season on January 27t…

John Kerry Thinks We’re at a Critical Moment on Climate Change

It took him a dozen more years to be elected to the Senate from Massachusetts, but he eventually became the chair of that same Foreign Relations Committee, and then the Democratic Presidential nominee, in 2004, and then Hillary Clinton’s successor as Barack Obama’s Secretary of State. Among other accomplishments in that role, he signed the landmark Paris climate accord for the United States, in 2016, which stipulated a global effort aimed at limiting temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius…

Is the Fight Against Climate Change Losing Momentum?

In February, several big financial institutions announced that they were leaving the Climate Action 100+ group, which many had joined following the Glasgow climate-change conference, in 2021, making broad but vague commitments to support an energy transition with their lending practices. They said that they would continue to work to reduce emissions, but reports have suggested that they may also have been trying to avoid the risk of lawsuits accusing them of E.S.G.ism—that is, caring about the e…

The Biden Administration’s Plan to Make American Homes More Efficient

The best examples of that latter category came on Thursday, first with a new rule on cleaning up power plants which could save more than a billion tons of carbon by mid-century, and then with a little-noticed ruling by the Department of Housing and Urban Development which will require builders putting up federally funded houses and apartments to comply with a set of more recent building and energy codes instead of earlier, laxer standards. (The timing of the move owes less to Earth Day than to t…

It’s a Climate Election Now

But Trump’s request must have bemused some of the execs—why pay up when he’s already said that he’ll be a dictator just for Day One, when the country will “drill, drill, drill”? Everything he laid out for them (an end to Biden’s pause on L.N.G-export permits and to his policies on electric vehicles) he has already loudly promised. Indeed, Politico reported last week that the industry is already drawing up “ready-to-sign” executive orders for its wish list. As one gleeful lobbyist explained, “It’…

Images of Climate Change That Cannot Be Missed

Now, with rapid increases in temperature powering a never-ending stream of fires, floods, droughts, and storms, it’s easy to capture images—perhaps too easy, in that we’re so inundated with inundation and conflagration that, at some point, we seem to shut down. Last year’s record chaos, featuring the hottest temperatures in a hundred millennia, feels barely remembered; the news this spring that carbon dioxide has taken a record leap didn’t make the front pages. Those of us in the eastern U.S. cl…

Could Talking About Climate Change Now Help Kamala Harris’s Campaign?

The next President will have to deal with a stream of unnatural disasters. So perhaps it would be wise for Harris to more aggressively remind voters of the stakes.

Can Older Americans Swing the Election for Harris?

They remember a time before we conducted our public life with vulgarity—and they have a distinct memory of people like Trump.
