Climate policies are also labor policies.
This is a climate win of course but setting federal standards to protect workers from heat is a working class labor win. From farm workers to USPS drivers to literally everyone who doesn’t work in an AC office.

Just astounding how quickly Kathy Hochul has given in to every anti-climate group. Like at least put up a little bit of fight man.

Studies repeatedly show that congestion pricing's popularity is lowest *right before it gets implemented,* recovering and quickly becoming popular once citizens start to see the benefits of it, so of course NY Dems are committed to staying in that "almost implemented" period as long as possible

America is decades behind in its transportation policy because of a fear in its political class to enact any rules — even if widely popular — against automobile hegemony. It’s mind boggling for a rich state with massive political capital to buckle like this on the eve of policy implementation.

New Yorkers - write to Gov Hochul. It saves MTA, local businesses (which will be taxed due to rescinding this plan), and your air quality. Congestion pricing has worked well in all peer cities. NYC deserves better!

Colossal climate defeat buckling to very poorly evidenced political pressures. Also there’s a difference between not doing something and cancelling a policy at the very last minute — MTA has already invested millions cameras, sensors, license plate readers etc in anticipation.

“Sometimes the materials that come out of the permafrost aren’t even dead. In another part of Siberia, the warming ground has yielded a 24,000-year-old invertebrate that was able to reproduce once it was thawed” ok wtf

some of the greatest indian art was produced by deccan sultanates. most pieces were destroyed or stolen (british!) but the paintings truly depict the syncretism of indian peninsula. a lot of islamic myth/folk combined with the sensuality emblematic of central indian art. this is at met right now.

there’s a crop of folks on the other side that lean on overstating the technical challenges of electrification wrt distribution grid/network
anyway new paper from California looking very good wrt distribution grid hosting capacity, $ needed, and rate impact for EVs!

If Biden loses, environmentalists will stand to lose all the gains from this administration and then some. If you consider yourself an environmentalist and/or care about climate change, you should not only vote for Biden but convince all friends and family to do the same. The stakes are very high.

I am also a scientist married to a poet, with small kids. I don't have quite so much cool field work these days, but my kids pop in on calls before morning dropoffs all the time. I could sanitize what life looks like as a working scientist mom, but I hope my visible messiness buys space for others.

pretty cool from india: registering a vehicle above 15 years to cost 8X more.
pollution from vehicles is kinda pareto -- 20% of old vehicles contribute to roughly 60-80% of air pollution (mostly NOx). need as many incentives to get them off the road.

if i were at any policy-making position, i would EXPAND $7,500 EV credit to all possible forms of EV (any battery, ownership, leasing)-- maybe even increase it-- provided people trade-in their old vehicle (above 15 years) and get a ZEV to replace it [also last chapter of my thesis/paper submitted]

Can’t stress how amazing this feed of all gift links/gift articles shared on Bluesky is. It’s largely the best of the stuff in traditional papers without the bullshit and fluff, shared by people who liked it enough to pay for it.
