One of those darned atmospheric paradoxes, in which cleaning up one kind of environmental threat (sulfur pollution) exacerbates another (warming). #complexitymonster at work. https://revkin.substack.com/p/the-climate-crisis-simplified

A fascinating @grace_2e assessment of the 31 #atmosphericriver events that soaked & scoured California since October. @Weather_West notes wide array of possible drivers (and the climate #complexitymonster is involved, randomness matters). I'd love to host them on a…

Far too many partisans in the energy fight focus on NEPA and NIMBY as if overcoming those hurdles means full speed ahead. The #scalemonster, #complexitymonster & institutional inertia and capacity gaps are right in there too. More: https://revkin.substack.com/p/when-climate-action-meets-energy-22-08-23 2/2
When Climate Action Meets Energy Friction: Why Permitting Reform is Easier Sought than Done

We look into the thorny, mostly local, challenges impeding efforts to speed a path from U.S. fossil norms to a climate-safe energy future.
