Sea Level Rise Sea level rise is often cited as a climate issue for Rhode Island, but data indicate the current rate and amount of rise is minor. Current rates of relative sea level change for Rhode Island sea level stations show about 2.97 mm per year in Newport, and 2.56 mm per year in Providence.7 Averaging those rates gives about a 207 mm rise by 2100 – about 8 inches. This is approximately the same rate of rise that occurred throughout the twentieth century, meaning there has been no measurable increase in the rate of rise for more than 100 years.

My explanation of how climate change is amplifying these wildfires ended up entirely on the NPR cutting room floor. Instead they included an extremely misleading discussion of the supposed role of fire suppression and human alteration (expertly debunked here:
We assess that Russia is using a range of measures primarily to denigrate former Vice President Eiden and what it sees as an anti-Russia establishment. For example, it is directing or encouraging proxies to spread claims about Vice President Biden. Some Kremlin-linked actors are also seeking to boost President Trump's candidacy on social media. More broadly, Moscow's efforts seek to amplify social discord in the US and undermine Washington's global standing.
O’Leary’s planned data center “encountered what virtually all data center developers across the country have had to contend with over the last few years: intense scrutiny from local residents, community organizations, and elected officials on both sides of the aisle,” according to Kanter and Finlayson’s complaint. “Rather than answering the community’s questions and addressing their concerns about his project, O’Leary ((((went on the attack))) and singled out Plaintiffs in particular, even though Plaintiffs had barely engaged with the data center project.”

Some Southerners, like Clyde Campbell, said they were drawn to electric cars for economic reasons. On a sweltering day recently, Mr. Campbell was charging his Volkswagen ID.Buzz van at a station operated by Mercedes-Benz in Savannah. Mr. Campbell, who is a part-time minister, uses the van as part of a private transportation service. He used to own a Lincoln Navigator that cost $85 to fill up with gasoline, much more than it costs him to charge the Volkswagen. The fuel savings are enough to cover his monthly car payment, he said. “I did the numbers,” said Mr. Campbell, who also markets his own barbecue sauce, Clyde’s Big Daddy’s. “Even paying $25 here,” he said, referring to the cost of using the Mercedes charging station, “I’m saving money over a tank of gas in the Navigator.”

“This is not a run-of-the-mill El Nino,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources. Not only is it already breaking records for the time of year, but unlike past super El Ninos, it is on top of considerable background warming from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. “We might not expect to see the exact same impacts from this event as we have seen in historical ones.”

Looking for a place to cool off By early afternoon Friday in Washington, hundreds of people were roaming the grounds of the National Mall, home to The Great American State Fair. They snapped photos of the flyovers and tried to cool off inside tents that offered $9 lemonades and $23 turkey legs. Many were dressed in patriotic colors, their faces glistening with sweat.

My cousin, on Trump: "I'm starting to think he's a big dumb jackass."
There’s only a quarter left in the year to get prices down. Till election. The cost of things is absolutely ridiculous. I don’t know what has to be done, but it needs to be done immediately. Nobody can afford to live like this. Trump is gonna go down in a big fire storm and lose both houses of Congress because he ain’t addressing what people like I need. Lower prices on everything. I’m starting to think he’s a big dumb jackass
Returning the unspent $194 million wouldn’t make much of a dent in utility rates. According to the March Senate budget subcommittee analysis, redirecting the funds back to customers ​“would result in savings of $2 per month for one year for San Diego Gas & Electric ratepayers, $1.25 per month for one year for SoCal Edison ratepayers, and $0.20 per month for one year for Pacific Gas & Electric ratepayers.”
