11 percent of the country’s emissions come from agriculture. Will Congress do anything about it?

From heat waves to floods to wildfires, this summer has already brought a cascade of extreme weather and increasing climatic instability.
As emissions continue to rise, we not only risk intensifying climate impacts like these, but also the breaching of critical “tipping points” in the Earth’s climate system. Triggering these feedback loops could lead to runaway warming and push the earth’s climate into uncharted and dangerous territory.

Fortunately, there are also positive tipping points — including the development of new technologies and the bending of cost curves for clean energy — that can significantly enhance our ability to tackle climate change. A recent report by SystemiQ and the Bezos Earth Fund outlines some of these thresholds, and a roadmap for how public and private sectors can accelerate them.

Research points to a milestone in the 2030s, but sea ice is already disappearing at an unprecedented rate. And that affects all of us.

Near-invisible solar cells generate power 1000x more efficiently

A group of Japanese researchers has developed a highly transparent solar cell using a 2D atomic sheet that could change the perception of solar energy. These near-invisible solar cells have an average visible transparency of 79%, which means that they can potentially be placed almost anywhere, including building windows, car front panels, and even human skin.

Transparent solar cells have the potential to revolutionize the energy industry by expanding the ways in which solar energy can be used. Traditional solar panels are limited to rooftops and other large, flat surfaces, but transparent solar cells could be integrated into buildings and vehicles, as well as other surfaces that are currently not being utilized for energy production.

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore discusses green investments, U.S, commitment to climate change, and warns of a $22 trillion subprime-like carbon bubble. He speaks with Francine Lacqua from the sidelines of the COP26 Summit in Glasgow, Scotland on “Bloomberg Surveillance.”

Real climate action means a rapid, just transition to clean energy.

Not only are fossil fuels causing climate disaster, toxic pollution from industry facilities is killing communities around the world. It’s time for job-creating, renewable energy that solves inequities instead of creating them.
