Rural residents were upset when Oregon released a statewide map estimating property risk from wildfires.

Until then, the impacts of climate change were abstract to many people, one senator said. “This is a very big chicken coming home to roost.”

"The peak intensity of the heat dome was record breaking for the SE US in late July. It peaked at 3.7 standard deviations, based on statistics from the past climate records we have, which means this heat dome is rare, if not virtually impossible, in our former climate of the 1900s. But human-caused climate change now makes these extreme heat domes much more likely."

"Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday proposed revoking a scientific finding that has long been the central basis for US action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule rescinds a 2009 declaration that determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare."

For example, did you know that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) significantly increases the fossil fuel subsidy that takes the form of 45Q tax credits for "captured" carbon used for enhanced oil recovery?

It's a massive subsidy, in the form of a huge tax break, for oil producers.

Of course you wouldn't know that. No one's reported on that.

#Climate#Energy#Environment

At a time when there's a significant need for investigations and deep dives into the misdeeds of fossil fuel corporations, most #Climate reporting is just summaries of reports, breaking news, or marketing for products but with extra steps.

I think that the SLAPP suit heavy fossil fuel industry and the lack of financial resources in the #Journalism industry is creating this (warranted) cowardice.
