Quote from end of Vox article >> In the end, the conversation about responsibility leads where all climate conversations lead: The only hope of avoiding catastrophic damage is most every country decarbonizing as rapidly as they are capable, regardless of their histories and rivalries. Electricity must be rapidly decarbonized to get rid of coal; heating

This is very good news. The $5 trillion asset owners are committing to divest of 29% of greenhouse gas polluters. The pressure is on corporations that don’t make changes to reduce their carbon footprint. https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2020/oct/13/top-asset-managers-commit-to-big-carbon-emissions-cuts
Ooh, this article is finally showing that the ones who are suffering are getting really serious. Those corporations who deny climate change are going to have to answer to the courts. We should hope and pray that the courts handle these types of cases as expeditiously as possible, because to delay would be extremely harmful

For the sake of the world, everyone must take climate change seriously. The future of the world depends on it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/science-environment-54347878 It’s very important that China is totally committed to end climate change.
That thought has occurred to me. I watched a program about ‘food deserts’ on PBS. Locally grown foods have less impact on the environment. https://cleantechnica.com/2020/09/11/should-foods-environmental-damage-be-included-in-its-purchase-cost/
This is sort of an opinion survey website. It’s important to know what and where people’s opinions are regarding climate change. https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/visualizations-data/ycom-us/
This is supposed to be a least cost model. Solar reaching up to 4.3 times capacity.
