In Japan, a samurai horse festival that’s taken place at the height of summer for more than 1,000 years was moved to late May in 2024 in response to climate change–fueled extreme heat that caused riders and spectators to collapse and horses to die from heatstroke.
Japan keeps traditional samurai horse festival alive by adapting to climate change

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace.
Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

Scientists and other experts were preparing an assessment of the health of nature in the US when Trump returned to the White House. He canceled the report. The researchers went ahead and compiled it on their own. This week, they released a 868-p draft for public comment and scientific review.

Yet another example that Bari Weiss is not a real journalist.
A smart party secretary would've allowed the full interview to air on the last night of a holiday weekend when everyone had to get to bed early, posted a few tame Talarico soundbites to distract from his spicy quotes, and moved on.

Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

Clean Energy accounted for all electricity growth this year. Gas/Coal were basically a wash and will be for years to come for electricity generation.
We need to ramp up batteries because they are 90% cheaper than distribution grid upgrades which is the main reason we have rate increases.
