New #Amazon #DataCenter Stokes Worry It Would Be the Most #Polluting #PowerPlant in #US
Amazon is investing in #naturalgas power plant as part of huge data center in #Texas that could become largest single source of #climate #pollution in #UnitedStates
New gas-burning plant would be permitted to release 33 million tons of #carbondioxide a year, regulatory records show, more #globalwarming gases than any other power plant in country

#SupremeCourt sets date for blockbuster #climate case
Suncor v. Boulder could determine dozens of lawsuits filed by cities and states against #oil and #gas
Trump admin, which is siding with #fossilfuel, has asked for 10 min of argument time.
“Such suits severely interfere with the federal government’s constitutional and statutory responsibilities,” Deputy Solicitor General Sarah Harris said, noting administration has filed challenges against several climate #lawsuits.

World's oceans hit record-high July temperatures - highest in recorded history as the #ClimateCrisis continues. While the earth burns, major powers ignore the #ClimateEmergency while pandering to #FossilFuel corporations that continue to ravage the planet. #Republicans and the #TrumpRegime deny there is a problem, preferring to spend billions to halt the shift to renewable, alternative #energy. They’re protecting their big donors and corporate overlords while we all suffer and the planet dies. If we don’t put an end to this madness soon, future generations, our kids and grandkids will be doomed. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvw8vmmgrwo #ClimateChange #Climate #environment

This conflict between the super-rich in the #fossilfuel industry and the moderately rich who would blanket the countryside with poorly designed facilities that exclude #agrisolar has one loser: the local community. But the seldom mentioned solution that gets lost in the shuffle is to need less energy production. >>

It's not difficult to extrapolate from an understanding of #homeostasis as noted in individuals to population and ecological community levels. Alas, #fossilfuel companies encouraged #Lovelock and #Margulis in their #Gaia research, as it was surmised their findings would lull the general public to believe the earth would self-regulate regardless of levels of pollution. It probably did help with the propaganda.
To maintain homeostasis, however, always requires an #EROEI. We have dysregulated the ecological homeostasis. When it costs as much to sell and ship an item as we can make from doing so, we will stop doing so. Ships, aircraft, trains, barges and trucks are vulnerable to this. WE are vulnerable to this. >>

#Extremeheat and #agriculture – FAO–WMO joint report
cd9394en.pdf
Executive Summary
Extreme heat has emerged as one of the most serious and acute hazards facing agriculture around the globe, threatening food security and the livelihoods of billions. Extreme heat is a powerful risk multiplier with direct and indirect impacts across all agricultural subsectors (crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture, and forestry). It amplifies existing hazards such as drought, heightens the risk of wildfires, and creates complex compound impacts that endanger not only production but also the health of agricultural workers, who are on the frontlines of the growing threat.
The fingerprints of extreme heat on agriculture are already visible worldwide. The analysis of scientific evidence and case studies presented in this report confirms that heat is driving significant productivity losses. For example, yields of staple crops like maize and wheat have declined by 7.5 and 6.0 percent per 1 °C of warming and are projected to decline by up to an additional 10 percent for every 1 °C of warming in the future. Under high-emission scenarios, nearly half the world’s cattle could be exposed to dangerous heat by 2100, with annual losses nearing USD 40 billion (in 2005 dollars), although under a low-emission scenario (SSP1-2.6), impacts from livestock exposure to extreme heat are reduced by nearly two-thirds. In aquatic systems, marine heatwaves have already caused repeated mass mortality events and are forcing entire fish stocks to migrate in search of cooler water. Fruit and nut trees and natural forests are also subject to production losses and the growing risk of more frequent and intense wildfires. Together, these losses create a dangerous feedback loop, where shortfalls in production can lead to agricultural expansion to compensate, increasing GHG emissions
that fuel further climate change.Building resilience through adaptation to damaging changes that have already occurred and that are imminent is imperative. The need for adaptation action is particularly acute for the most vulnerable communities in the tropics and subtropics. Because extreme heat is predictable, strengthening climate services and early warning systems linked to anticipatory actions is a key opportunity. It is also clear that there are profound limits to what adaptation can achieve. With global mean temperatures on the cusp of exceeding the 1.5 °C warming limit outlined in the Paris Agreement, the urgency for adaptation and mitigation action only grows. The only durable solution to protect the future of global agrifood systems from the escalating threat of extreme heat lies in ambitious, multilateral climate change mitigation.
<< Let's see how this plays out. Will we unite and defeat the #fossilfuel lobbies to achieve this multilateralism? Or will the current rise in #fascism and #genocide accelerate as we approach the limits to growth and #EROEI on energy (and thereby on food) drops to 1/1, preventing the world's markets from moving product?

@Npars01 @dangillmor and they look like a really big multitrillion-Mafia conglomerate. We need to end #FossilFuel Industry to end their crimes. Let's disown them. Put all their companies under sensible and legal open, transparent management. Those who won't abide by social-economic rules will have to be closed completely.
