President Biden has signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, let’s take a quick look at the environmental provisions and see what they offer.
365 Days of Climate Awareness #366 – Conclusion
A number of climate scientists have said that the next ten years will tell the story on whether our society can survive global warming mostly intact, or else suffer widespread, possibly catastrophic damage.

365 Days of Climate Awareness #363 – Life Cycle Assessment of a Wind Farm
Life cycle assessments (LCAs) for wind farms are like those for electric vehicles (EVs): there are many available, so it would take some time to become familiar with the entire, or even most of, the body of work.

365 Days of Climate Awareness #360 – The Exxon Climate Fraud
Exxon’s internal report is the clearest example we have of a major oil producer knowingly putting profits above all consideration of global welfare.

365 Days of Climate Awareness #356 – National and Sub-National Policies and Ins
AR6 Vol 3, Chap. 13: Sub-national policies are particularly important because, on the whole, regional and local authorities have jurisdiction over land use, a major aspect of greenhouse emissions.

365 Days of Climate Awareness #347: Near and Mid-Term Mitigation Strategies
AR6 Vol. 3, Chap. 4: The current trajectory of emissions is toward 57 (52-60) GtCO2e-yr-1 (gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year).

365 Days of Climate Awareness #346 – AR6 Vol 3, Chap 3: Mitigation Pathways Consistent With Long-T
Extrapolating countries’ current mitigation pathways leads to global warming of 2.4-3.5°C/4.3-6.3°F by 2100. Under this scenario, annual GHG emissions go from 52-60 GtCO2eq-yr-1 to 46-67 GtCO2eq-yr-1.
