Climate change is making the tropics hotter

A new study finds that tropical areas often thought to be safe from the effects of climate change are actually experiencing significant changes in rainfall and extreme temperature events. The paper, "Shifting climate in Caribbean tropical forests: Long-term trends at La Selva (Costa Rica) and El Verde (Puerto Rico)," is published in PLOS Climate.

#UK The paper frames the stakes in economic terms. Well-functioning transport networks cut direct costs for individuals and businesses by smoothing the flow of people and goods, and better connectivity deepens labour markets. The authors argue that UK planning often overlooks the integrated management of decarbonisation, resilience and asset strategy, and that the resulting gaps threaten long-term infrastructure reliability https://www.marketscale.com/industries/transportation/review-of-120-plus-uk-transport-plans-finds-big-gaps-in-climate-resilience-rules #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

#USA #US — Slower electrification could cost the U.S. economy a cumulative $2.3 trillion through 2035. — Restricting renewable growth is estimated to cost $121 billion from 2027 to 2033. — Policy uncertainties have led to the cancellation of 20-25% of solar projects. — U.S. electricity prices have already risen more than 40% since the start of the pandemic (text available in “reading mode”) https://www.masslive.com/opinion/2026/11/environmental-injuries-mount-with-each-passing-day-of-trump-20-paul-chiampa.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US This was the “affordability election” with concerns about inflation & high energy prices Newly elected lawmakers will enter office with energy policy proposals to address voter concerns She noted that renewable energy is less expensive than fossil fuels and can be developed quickly, promising rapid benefits for consumers. The growth of electric transportation reduces greenhouse gas emissions & shields consumers from the volatility of gasoline & diesel https://insideclimatenews.org/news/05112026/inside-clean-energy-democrats-trifecta-results/ #climate

Democrats’ Big Statehouse Wins Could Transform Climate and Energy Policy - Inside Climate News

Before Tuesday’s election, Republicans held more governorships and state legislative seats than Democrats, along with an advantage in state trifectas—unified control of the governor’s office and both chambers of the legislature. That advantage has disappeared, clearing the path for more climate and clean energy legislation, according to analysts and advocates. Democrats swept the vast majority […]

#BC #canada The new government plans to repeal the CleanBC Roadmap to 2030, removing the province’s foundational climate action strategy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2030. They will also end the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales quota, and overhaul of the green building Step Code to freely allow the use of gas for heating, hot water and cooking https://saobserver.net/2026/11/04/viewpoint-climate-protection-gains-at-risk-under-new-b-c-government/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

The gap is widening between climate commitments and emissions reductions, with emerging markets struggling on implementation Global climate policy efforts expanded by 1 per cent in 2025 compared with an average of 10 per cent annual growth between 2010 and 2021, says the OECD’s annual Climate Action Monitor for 2026 https://www.sustainableviews.com/global-climate-policy-progress-slows-emissions-targets-harder-to-reach-e20f0087/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #ClimateReversal #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Climate supremacy and the spiritual battle over AI 🤖 (discussion with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Bill McKibben, and Naomi Klein) It’s a local battle, it’s incredibly material and tangible. It’s a cost of living battle because your electricity prices are going up. It’s a self-determination battle, it’s an indigenous rights battle. It’s all of that. What we’re finding is that it’s also a spiritual battle, about what we are here for, how we wanna live and what is the purpose of life.
