“In our economy, transportation is the biggest contributor to climate change,” - Buttigieg
On the same front, the EPA issued a proposed rule that would reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. The agency projects that the rule, if fully implemented, would annually save roughly 2,000 lives and prevent 18,000 cases of childhood asthma.
President Biden's unprecedented Infrastructure law passed in October provides $5 BILLION for funding cleaner [pollution] school buses that will start to become available to states within the next several weeks.
Transportation accounts for 29% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. The next largest sector is electricity generation, at 25%.

Lakes Powell and Meade are both down bigtime.
Yet the populations in those areas served by them just keeps growing!

Of course!
On a similar note AP reports there were "nine mass shootings over the weekend that left 8 people dead and more than 60 others hurt"
Obviously, that's all Joe Biden's fault too.

*REPUBLICAN Mehmet Oz Goes Full Climate Denial, Says Carbon Dioxide Isn't A Problem
HUFFPOST - Mehmet Oz, the celebrity doctor turned GOP Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, declared Wednesday that carbon dioxide is not a climate problem, a longtime talking point of climate change deniers.
“As a scientist, I’ll tell you the Green New Deal is a lie,” said Oz, [Oz is an M.D., *NOT* a climate scientist]
Then Oz launched into a talking point that would make even the most fervent climate deniers proud: The “ideology that carbon is bad” is “a lie,” he said. “Carbon dioxide, my friends, is 0.04% of our air. That’s not the problem.”

Carbon dioxide is absolutely the problem when it comes to planetary warming. CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and other human activity are the main drivers of climate change, accounting for more than three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions.

California faces another year of drought and elevated wildfire risk due to climate change, expert warns
A report released last week by the United Nations Environment Program found that climate change will increase wildfires globally by 50 percent by the year 2100. In part, that’s due to the overall health of plants.
“There’s been improvement in the Northwest, especially Washington state, which was super-wet this year, but in the Southwestern broader mega-drought region, this winter is not helping anybody out in that regard. There’s been some decent snow in the central and northern Rockies, but in general, the Colorado River watershed is still experiencing this extremely severe long-term multidecade drought,” Swain said.
And as is well established, with continued drought comes elevated risk of wildfire.
“Most of the regions that have seen really severe fire conditions the last few years due to drought, there’s a good chance that we’ll see those same background conditions this year,” Swain said.

"The world has less than 10 years to avert climate change catastrophe, report finds
Carbon dioxide emissions increased by almost 5% last year, meaning that the world now has a two-in-three chance of reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius of global warming over pre-industrial levels within the decade, according to a new study published in the online journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment.
The world’s biggest economies, which are the biggest contributors to climate change, drove the increase in emissions last year. Emissions increased by roughly 6% to 7% each in the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom. Large middle-income countries, including China and Russia, also saw emissions jump, as did India, the largest developing country."

GM to go all-electric by 2035, phase out gas and diesel engines
NBC NEWS - GM launched its first long-range electric car, the Chevy Bolt, in 2016. General Motors plans to completely phase out vehicles using internal combustion engines by 2035, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra announced. GM will go completely carbon neutral at all facilities worldwide by 2035.

Barra has frequently touted GM's plan for “an all-electric future,” recently increasing to 30 the number of pure battery-electric vehicles it will launch by the middle of this decade, but this marks the first time the largest Detroit automaker has set a hard target for completely phasing out gas and diesel engines for all light-duty vehicles, including pickups and SUVs.

GM to go all-electric by 2035, phase out gas and diesel engines
The auto industry is shifting from internal combustion technology to emissions-free battery and hydrogen powertrains.
Several traditional auto-makers have also committed to a complete transition, with Bentley recently laying out a target date of 2030 to switch entirely to battery-electric vehicles, or BEVs.
Nissan said it will electrify all models by the “early 2030's”

Even if we survive Putin, the World could be in deep trouble
YAHOO NEWS - The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on Monday released its latest report, which found that nations are falling short of their pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to avert catastrophic climate change.
While the technology exists to stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius of average global temperature increase — the goal that virtually every nation agreed to in the 2015 Paris climate agreement and reaffirmed last year in the Glasgow Climate Pact — current policies put the world on a trajectory toward at least TWICE as much warming.

The IPCC report included 278 experts from 65 countries reviewing over 18,000 scientific papers.
According to their findings, to meet the 1.5°C target, global greenhouse gas emissions have to start dropping by 2025 and go down 43% from current levels by 2030 — and a whopping 84% by 2050.
Achieving that requires ambitious actions from large emitters such as the United States, the European Union and China in the next few years at the latest. Waiting longer, the scientific consortium warned, will mean massive economic losses from the impacts of climate change such as drought, wildfires and sea level rise.

The closest the IPCC came to sharing good news was revealing that the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change are growing more slowly than in the past, thanks to increased energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies — particularly battery storage that is essential to widespread reliance on wind and solar energy.
