Parody: Rep. Issa's bill to repeal the law of gravity.
It restores scientific understanding to where it was before 1687, gives Congress the chance to consider economic impact when setting gravitational levels and rolls back a law that was never passed. huffpost.com/entry/post_b_12…

300-500 mile EVs!
The Surprising Death of EV Range Anxiety With affordable EVs now getting 300 miles per charge, fears of running out of power are beginning to fade. A lithium-ion battery is $108 per kilowatt-hour down more than 90% since 2010. @DanGearino insideclimatenews.org/news/2…
Please just ignore the fact that GM mostly makes gas guzzlers with decades-old technology!

From those wonderful folks who brought you Dieselgate! Audi CEO Gernot Döllner’s decision to unveil the new plant alongside Trump at a Georgia campaign rally turned the factory into a political controversy inside Volkswagen’s home country. By Rachel More msn.com/en-ca/news/other/aud…
Another victory for big oil! Super polluter orders more super pollutant!
Tr$mp will loosen rules forcing oil and gas companies to cut emissions of methane, a gas considered a “super pollutant” because it traps so much heat in the atmosphere.

Zàijiàn Detroit!
Mexico is a showroom for EVs you can’t buy in the US with a growing fleet of sleek new vehicles from Chinese brands unknown to Americans --from Chinese EV brands you’ve never heard of, such as Zeekr, JAC and BYD.

Rising temperatures are causing glaciers to retreat to the point of vanishing. About 300 of 1450 glaciers have disappeared since the 1960s, with almost all of the rest set to drastically shrink as the climate crisis continues to escalate. @olliemilman theguardian.com/environment/…
‘Pitchfork Populism’ Over Data Centers Rattles Ohio’s Senate Race. A large data center has upended politics in this Republican-leaning suburb of Columbus. The issue looms large in a race that could determine control of Congress. @DanGearino insideclimatenews.org/news/1…
Get out of jail free passes for polluters!
Tr$mp exempted some of the US's worst industrial polluters--202 plants--from clean-air protections. His industry-alumni appointees then worked to gut the rules altogether.

The warming climate kills!
Heat killed a record 50,000 people in European cities this summer, new research suggests, with scientists blaming climate breakdown for two in every three of the deaths.

Air pollution linked to dementia, Parkinson’s and autism. Microplastics, nanoplastics, silica, metals, soot and other debris — is getting through to our brains. One suspect: Hotter, drier conditions are fueling wildfires and their smoke.

Climate Crisis Fuels Youth Protests Roiling France
Youth are protesting for better school conditions. Lack of adaptation to a hotter world: crumbling school infrastructure-laid bare by climate-change-fueled heat waves - is part of the story. @Mat_Augustin insideclimatenews.org/news/1…
A dangerous and unpredictable climate is here. Every week this summer and fall has brought record-setting heat or historic storms: July was the hottest month ever for the contiguous US. In California the last four days were over 100F. @elijahwolfson washingtonpost.com/climate-e…
Drink carefully!
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC) are linked with severe health impacts, including cancers, reproductive issues, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease, and neurotoxicity. Water in plastic bottles contained more EDCs than in glass. ehn.org/plastic-bottled-wate…
