We need more funding on the ground to stop extinctions.

When it comes to the thermal limits of plants, there may be an expert in the neighborhood:
science.ubc.ca/news/februar...
@seanmichaletz.bsky.social has been studying plant behavior in extreme temperature environments and has found that most plants breakdown at 40° to 50°c with a hard limit at 60°c.

Why ‘leaky’ plants could accelerate climate change
Plants play a key role in regulating Earth’s climate, but recent research suggests that rising temperatures could disrupt this balance, because plants are leaking more water than previously thought.

Building infrastructure for fossil fuels is literally one strategies that the fossil fuel industry laid out over a decade ago as a way to delay climate action & extend their industry. Carney is using their play book step by step. He is 100% on board with delaying climate action.

People who believe humans can save the planet by going extinct are being optimistic and are giving humans credit for their accidental planet saving capacities. The sad fact is that our own extinction merely means that all the other extinctions will go unrecorded and unlamented. Lament now or never.

Paging @heinrich.senate.gov and @whitehouse.senate.gov. Is $39 a year worth blowing up most of America’s environmental laws?

New @rff.org BAAJA modeling suggests $39 per household per year in residential electricity bill savings, up from $19 and $14 in Columbia and Greenline modeling. Typical household electricity cost is ~$1800/yr, so $39/yr is 2% savings. Better than 1%!
But BAAJA is really not an affordability bill.

New Columbia BAAJA modeling suggests about $19 per household per year in residential electricity bill savings, up from $14 per household per year in the September Greenline modeling. Say what you will about BAAJA, its electricity affordability impacts are basically nil. A 1% effect if you're lucky.
