Finished reading the long read U.S. 5th National Climate
#NCA5 Assessment recently published. While the full report is not yet available as a download, one can read all chapters online at
https://nca2023.globalchange.gov/. Written for laymen, so easy but stressful read IMO.
#ClimatePod interviewed Allison Crimmins, worth listening.

Fifth National Climate Assessment
The Fifth National Climate Assessment is the US Government’s preeminent report on climate change impacts, risks, and responses. It is a congressionally mandated interagency effort that provides the scientific foundation to support informed decision-making across the United States.
I had a great time appearing on the #ClimatePod podcast talking about
-- the latest #IPCC report
-- the need to quickly phase out #fossilfuels
-- the need to stop the build out of #LNG infrastructure
-- what #Biden can do to get back on track
-- why more oil drilling won't lower gas prices
-- why we need people power to get us out of this mess

What Does The IPCC Report Mean For Fossil Fuel Expansion? (w/ Greenpeace's Tim Donaghy and Data For Progress' Danielle Deiseroth)
Listen to this episode from The Climate Pod on Spotify. The latest publication from the IPCC, AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023, outlines a grim future if we don't decarbonize faster and prevent more unnecessary warming. In recent years, there have been major steps taken to accelerate decarbonization, including last year's Inflation Reduction Act passed in the United States to incentivize green energy investments. But even while carbon-free energy infrastructure continues to get a boost, new fossil fuel infrastructure isn't exactly slowing down either. And with the controversy over the Biden Administration's approval of ConocoPhillips’ "massive" Willow oil drilling project on Alaska’s North Slope, the question remains: why are fossil fuel projects still getting the green light? To talk about the policy and politics behind fossil fuel expansion in the United States and across the globe, we've got two experts on today's show. Tim Donaghy, a Senior Research Manager for Greenpeace USA, and Danielle Deiseroth, Interim Executive Director at Data for Progress. We discuss the biggest takeaways from the IPCC report, the controversy behind the Willow Project, what voters want to see with energy expansion, and much more.
