This is a threat we know will affect billions of people and displace hundreds of millions more through sea-level rise, desertification and other disastrous impacts by the time our children are grown. We need to shift the whole game, raise the level of ambition, move that needle. The stakes are high. Further, faster.

Weaker residential construction activity cooled the HVAC sector, and heat pump sales bore the brunt at a 16% decline compared to 2022.  Zero emission vehicles (ZEV) led the charge, as YoY sales volume increased 52% to 1.4M vehicles, but price decreases tamped down overall investment growth to 30%.

In 2020, Governor John Bel Edwards (D) joined the international Race to Zero Campaign, which aims to reach net zero carbon emissions around the world by 2050. Cristen Jenkins used the frisbee she got from Shell’s float as a fan to cool off. Louisiana’s approach to tackling the climate crisis is steeped in cognitive dissonance.

Then there’s the melting sea ice, retreating glaciers and rising oceans. In the last 50 years, the sea level rise has sped up nearly three times as fast as it increased between 1901 and 1971. Cut emissions in half by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050 and we might survive. Via BBC Lead image via Pexels.

Lovelock’s main concern was not warming caused by the greenhouse effect, however, but the prospect of a precipitous drop in temperatures caused by the localised cooling influence of atmospheric pollution. But the authors theorised that localised cooling caused by air pollution might counteract the greenhouse effect.

Coastal communities face habitat destruction and sea level rise. Cities, meanwhile, can be cooled by parks and ponds and greening streets and buildings' rooftops and walls. By 2050 almost 70 per cent of the world's growing population is set to live in urban areas, many in unplanned and or informal settlements.
