50% more expensive olive oil in the EU, 80% more expensive vegetables in the US, 300% more expensive lettuce in Australia. New research has calculated how price increases in 2022–2024 can be linked to climate change. And this is just the beginning.

“In China, new coal-fired power stations are still being planned, despite the country’s strong showing on renewables”
True, but: “While the construction of new coal projects is worrisome, clean energy is still growing its stake in China. More than 100 gigawatts of coal power were decommissioned in the last 10 years, and the new projects are only allowed if they are backing up a clean energy source.”

China is rapidly reaching the point where coal power will no longer be a primary source of energy. Europe has expanded its renewable power capacity given the risks of relying on Russian natural gas. Canada needs to catch up.
Let’s put fossil fuel companies out of business.

The cost of cutting climate pollution is dramatically less than the cost of unchecked climate change, which would cost Australia $4.2 trillion by 2070. Choosing a strong target now is far more cost-effective than attempting to adapt to escalating climate damage.

Soon after President Donald Trump took office in January, a wide array of petrochemical, mining and farm industry coalitions ramped up what has been a long campaign to limit use of the Environmental Protection Agency’s assessments of the health risks of chemicals.
That effort scored a significant victory Friday when EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced his decision to dismantle the agency’s Office of Research and Development. #ClimateChange
