Eight new #gas and #OilWells have been approved for San Ardo.
“These enhanced# oil recovery methods come with all the risks of traditional production,” says Cooper Kass, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, a watchdog organization which has filed multiple lawsuits regarding California’s oil and gas industry. “They also bring a number of additional risks, including the potential for the high-pressure injection to damage the wellbore and/or crack the surrounding rock, which could lead to migration and #groundwater contamination.”—Report by Katie Rodriguez, #MontereyCountyNow

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-hits-keep-coming. It's depressing that Paul Krugman doesn't seem to be able to keep in mind that #fossilfuels, when burned, produce #CO2, & that produces #globalheating, although elsewhere he acknowledges that we have a #climatecrisis. Yet this is a Nobel Prize winning #economist!

It makes us SICK to think of people losing their homes, their livelihoods and the people they love to fires, floods and storms, while fossil fuel companies make billions.
A FRACTION of those obscene profits could help communities rebuild.

Corporate climate disclosures: Companies planning for an unbearable future"Australia’s largest companies are forecasting business-as-usual in a much hotter world."
"The assumption that business-as-usual will be possible in a hotter world is out of step with the latest science..This increase would put the Australian economy, environment and community at severe risk." >>

#Solarpunk #Lagos - #ObohMoses
5 August 2026"Oboh Moses is a Black digital illustrator who has been passionate about art since he was seven years old. In 2021, his work was selected for the American Illustration 40th anniversary annual award book. He lives and works in Lagos, #Nigeria.
This illustration depicts a lively neighborhood in Lagos, Nigeria, reimagined as a thriving solar-powered community. The scene captures an ordinary residential area transformed through the widespread adoption of #renewable energy, offering a glimpse of a future where clean, #sustainable power is part of everyday life.
At first glance, we see numerous solar panels installed on nearly every rooftop, children play football and run freely in the open spaces, residents gather on balconies and verandas to chat with neighbors, watch the activity below, or simply enjoying the day. reinforcing the close-knit nature of the community.
Beyond capturing daily life, this artwork tells the story of an energy transition. It shows how solar power can strengthen local communities by providing reliable electricity, reducing dependence on #FossilFuels and unstable grid power, lowering energy costs, and improving everyday life. Overall, the illustration celebrates a future where clean, renewable energy is accessible to everyone."

Documents shed light on the earliest-known instance of #ClimateScience funded by the #FossilFuel industry, adding to growing understanding of #BigOil ’s knowledge of #ClimateChange . Fossil fuel industry sponsored climate science in 1954.
February 1, 2024, Rebecca John
Excerpt: "Unknown until now, however, is the fact that Keeling’s earliest research into carbon dioxide across the western U.S. was funded in part by the fossil fuel industry via a private foundation — and that in 1954 this foundation was informed of the potential impact of manmade carbon dioxide emissions on both the climate and human civilization.
"Newly discovered documents affirm that the #automobile and #petroleum industries funded early climate science #Keeling conducted at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) between 1954 and 1956. Records show that 'oil and auto companies' sponsored the scientist’s research via an organization called the Southern California Air Pollution Foundation, formed in 1953 to tackle Los Angeles’s infamous smog. American Motors, #Chrysler, #Ford, and #GeneralMotors were among 18 automotive companies that gave money to the foundation.
"A 1959 internal U.S. Public Health Service memo also identifies the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute ( #API ) and the #WesternOilAndGasAssociation — the oldest petroleum trade association in the U.S., which is now known as the #WesternStatesPetroleumAssociation — as 'major contributors to the funds of the Air Pollution Foundation.' Its Board of Trustees included top-level representatives from the Southern California Gas Company, the Southern California Edison Co., Chrysler, General Motors, and Union Oil (now #Chevron).
"And from mid-1955, these trustees were also appraised of research projects by a seven-man 'technical advisory committee,' which included a senior official from API as well as scientists from the Richfield Oil Corporation (now #BP ) and #Chrysler.
"With the discovery of these Air Pollution Foundation documents, it is now possible to date the earliest sponsorship of climate science by the fossil fuel industry to 1954, approximately a quarter of a century before Exxon’s internal research program of the late 1970s. These new documents provide important evidence that the fossil fuel industry has been intricately connected to climate science from its earliest beginnings — not only as a driver of the greenhouse effect behind climate change, but also as a contributor to the scientific discoveries that would transform our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the Earth and its atmosphere.

Could #Maine make polluters pay for the cost of #climateChange ? Lawmakers want to study it first.
The Legislature on Tuesday passed a measure to study how much greenhouse gas emissions are costing the state, with Republicans opposed.
by Rachel Ohm, March 31, 2026
"Maine lawmakers Tuesday took a possible step toward establishing a program to recoup money from large, corporate polluters to pay for the impacts of climate change.
"The House of Representatives passed a bill that would study how much greenhouse gas emissions have cost the state in a 75-72 vote that fell largely along party lines. Two Democrats, Tiffany Roberts of South Berwick and Holly Sargent of York, joined with Republicans in opposition.
"The Senate passed the bill 19-13 earlier in the week with Democrats in support and Republicans opposed.
"The bill, LD 1870, sponsored by Sen. Stacy Brenner, D-Scarborough, started out as a proposal for a so-called #ClimateSuperfund that would collect fees from groups that extract #FossilFuels and refine crude oil and whose activities are found to contribute to certain levels of greenhouse gas emissions. The money would be used to fund climate change adaptation projects.
The version that was voted on this week, however, was revised to a proposal for a study of the cost to the state of greenhouse gas emissions from 1995 to 2024. The information is set to be submitted to lawmakers in a report due by Jan. 1, 2028."Archived version:
