Hi, it’s the team at EDF Action Votes.
Trump’s administration just ordered NASA to shut down two crucial satellites
that track carbon emissions and monitor vegetation health worldwide.
One would even be destroyed, burning up in Earth’s atmosphere — erasing decades of critical climate data.
This is deliberate sabotage of science,
and it puts every American at risk.
Without these satellites, we’ll be flying blind in the fight against climate change.

UK government and public overestimate time left for climate action, study finds
A new study has found that UK Members of Parliament (MPs) and the public overestimate the time left to meet a critical deadline for limiting global warming.

The situation with climate change has already turned bad, but if we don't reduce emissions to (net) zero asap, it'll get a lot worse. Not pretty marketing-wise, but enough for adults to act upon.
And while taking climate action, we can get other stuff right, too, like reducing air pollution.

Space, time and altruism in pandemics and the climate emergency
Climate change is a global emergency, as was the COVID-19 pandemic. Why was our collective response to COVID-19 so much stronger than our response to the climate emergency, to date? We hypothesize that the answer has to do with the scale of the systems, and not just spatial and temporal scales but also the `altruistic scale' that measures whether an action must rely upon altruistic motives for it to be adopted. We treat COVID-19 and climate change as common pool resource problems that exemplify…

Grid congestion stymies climate benefit from U.S. vehicle electrification
Averting catastrophic global warming requires decisive action to decarbonize key sectors. Vehicle electrification, alongside renewable energy integration, is a long-term strategy toward zero carbon emissions. However, transitioning to fully renewable electricity may take decades -- during which electric vehicles may still rely on carbon-intensive electricity. We analyze the critical role of the transmission network in enabling or constraining emissions reduction from U.S. vehicle electrificatio…

Climate change action could dramatically limit rising UK heat wave deaths
A new study suggests that, under realistic scenarios of high emissions and socioeconomic development, annual heat-related deaths in the U.K. could rise to about 50 times current rates by the 2070s, but that climate change mitigation and adaptation could significantly limit this rise.

🌍 The climate crisis demands urgent action. But which actions are best?
Decision makers face tough trade-offs:
Policy A lowers emissions at home but increases reliance on imports.
Policy B cuts emissions long-term but raises unemployment short-term.
Policy C boosts jobs now but increases emissions in the near term.
None of these choices are simple. A policy that looks good locally may increase global emissions, or its effects may depend on what other countries d…

Want climate action? You’re part of a silenced majority
Most people worldwide want action on climate change. A significant majority would even be willing to give up some of their income to help. You wouldn’t learn that from most mainstream media or politicians.

We already managed to screw up the climate of Spain, in many ways.
And as long as we're emitting more greenhouse gases than ever before, it will get worse faster than ever before.
We have to get to net zero emissions asap. It's not 'realistic' but absurd to slow down climate action now.
