Why USAID is such a critical piece of the global climate aid puzzle – and what happens next as it is cut.
As development projects battle over which is the most ‘life-saving’ in order to secure the dregs of US aid funding, climate action is likely to be deemed lowest priority. #ClimateChange

Why Trump’s executive order targeting state climate laws is probably illegal
“The federal government cannot unilaterally strip states’ independent constitutional authority,” said New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham in a joint statement, as Politico reported. “We are a nation of states — and laws — and we will not be deterred.”

“ saving indigenous languages, preserving archaeological and sacred sites, and creating partnerships built on trust with the people who have worked with the land and whose cultures have adapted their practices to the changing climate for thousands of years.”
The ConversationPeru’s ancient irrigation systems succeeded in turning deserts into farms because of the culture − without it, the systems failedAncient practices hold important lessons for farmers facing drying lands, but they were often more complex than modern societies realize. Glacier loss adds to the challenge today.

Australia urgently needs to get serious about long-term climate policy – but there’s no sign of that in the election campaign https://theconversation.com/australia-urgently-needs-to-get-serious-about-long-term-climate-policy-but-theres-no-sign-of-that-in-the-election-campaign-250637?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #ClimateChange
@radionz Both native & exotic forest can blow or burn down occasionally. The largest forest fire in NZ, the 1940s Taupo fire, burned more native than exotic area. At a landscape level, forest storage of C is permanent if we regenerate relatively small areas that burn or blow down.
On a proportional basis native forest has burned less than plantation in Aotearoa. This is hard to interpret, because there has generally been more hazardous human activity in plantations. #nzpol #climatechange

Record-challenging heat to build over #Southwest, including over 100 F in #Phoenix
Temperatures will reach triple digits over part of the interior Southwest into this weekend, and dry air paired with the heat will rise the risk of #wildfires.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Apr 8, 2025 2:06 PM EDT | Updated Apr 9, 2025 2:14 PM EDT
Excerpt:
"Temperatures will run 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit above historical averages at the peak, with records challenged. Factoring in April sunshine, which is equivalent to sunshine in August, AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures can spike to 10 degrees or more above the actual temperature during the day.
"'Phoenix is likely to experience its first 100 F or higher reading of the year on Thursday,' Zehr said, 'Friday and Saturday may also top 100.'
"The average date for the first 100 is May 2 at Phoenix. The earliest date was March 26, 1988."

Trump signed an EO aimed at “protecting” American energy from “state overreach.” Some energy experts say: a legally dubious fed overstep designed to undermine the rights of states & local authorities to combat #climatechange.
Points to Blue-state policies like VT’s Superfund rules, *req FF cos. to pay for damage to the climate, & CA’s cap-and-trade prgm as examples of efforts to “dictate nat energy policy.”“dom energy resources.
Atrocities mount.
