Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

halting the Environmental Protection Agency’s progress on dealing with and researching PFAS

Not directly global warming related, but especially sad. PFAS is a global polluter as it gets into the rain cycle. Freshwater fish everywhere are unsafe to eat.

I'm angry at the baseless ignorance of putting a GDP cost to global warming. It is a wealth and quality of life cost, but spending can be just as high or higher. The US is at especially high risk of collapse with low housing build rate, and vehicle inflation from tariffs. Insurance inflation must necessarily significantly reduce quality of life and property values as disaster risk and agricultural yields are impacted. Property devaluations is bank failure risk.

Relying on US was always a poor plan, as it is most politically corrupt nation on earth. Far bigger than US climate policy, however is ending war in Ukraine. Immediate 3% drop in global diesel use, and lower oil prices that mean less lobbying for climate terrorism, and drilling expansions. Rest of world is more important than US for emissions, and decoupling from its oil extortion attempts is a likely reaction to US belligerence to former allies.
