On The Climate Brink, I cross posted a post from Andy Revkin's Sustain What substack, written by one of the giants of Atmospheric Sciences, Mike Wallace. In it, he describes his evolution about climate change from initial doubt to grave concern.

Another expert review of the science behind the endangerment finding, this time from health professionals.

they conclude that CO2 emissions "pose a clear and indisputable danger to human health and well-being."

I've been getting requests from reporters about the disbanding of the DOE Climate Working Group. Here are some comments. More to come on my Substack (www.theclimatebrink.com).

I can't say enough about the authors of the comment. They are an unbelievably great group and I think I'd legitimately want to hang out with all of them.

I've been getting a lot of requests for comments on the DOE report on the state of climate science. Here are some initial thoughts.

I have a new oped in the San Antonio Express-News & Austin American Statesman about the Texas flooding.

On The Climate Brink, my third annual "Climate change is making hurricanes more destructive" post.

It's not actually that complicated: 1) higher sea level means flooding is worse, 2) more rainfall means flooding is worse, 3) more intense storms means all damages are worse.

My paper describing how climate change is driving up the cost of electricity in Texas has been published on-line:

My latest on The Climate Brink: No, renewables don't need expensive backup.

In fact, renewables push the most expensive fossil fuel producers out of the market, saving money for the economy.

No, renewables don't need expensive backup power on today's grids

The actual story is the opposite: renewable energy pushes the most expensive fossil fuel plants out of business, lowering costs for consumers
