*Clean Energy ETFs Appear Appealing Bets Now*
The renewable energy sector is expected to remain strong in 2022. 
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency report, the 
outlook till 2022 projects global renewable power expenses to decline 
more, with onshore wind becoming 20-27% lower than the cheapest new 
coal-fired generation option. Considering the sectors’ run in 2021, 
there have been many factors that kept the momentum moving. Favorable 
government policies, impressive renewable investments, falling overall 
cost of generating renewable electricity and growing adoption of 
electric vehicles (EV) might keep on supporting the momentum in the 
space in 2022.

*The Utility of White-Hot Rage*
Living in the era of climate change might make us feel guilt, or grief, 
or anger. How do those who think about these problems every day keep going?
By Emma Marris
JANUARY 25, 2022,
Usually, a story like this starts with a quick roundup of alarming 
statistics and a reminder of all the latest climate disasters: heat 
domes, floods, hurricanes, etc. I’m going to skip that part. Most of us 
get it already. We understand with our rational minds that the climate 
is changing, and we feel that it is changing in the deepest pit of our 
gut, where dread and fury live...

Anger can be directed outward in the form of action, but it can still 
singe the source. People engaged in climate work also need “internal 
strategies” for dealing with anger and other intense emotions—what 
Davenport describes as “more sophisticated forms of self-care” that can 
calm our nervous system. They include keeping ourselves physically 
healthy and well rested, and taking time out with tools such as 
meditation, exercise, and outdoor activity. For Chungyalpa, who this 
year is teaching a course on coping with eco-anxiety and climate grief, 
spending time outdoors in the very ecosystems she is most worried about 
is also grounding and healing. “The source of the greatest suffering is 
the source of your greatest strength,” she said. For Sarah Myhre, a 
paleoclimatologist who trains early-career scientists to be climate 
leaders, making prints on the subject of climate change has proved 
deeply therapeutic—it allows her a contemplative space to feel her 
feelings but also an opportunity to create a physical object that 
externalizes those feelings. “I don’t feel like it is sitting inside me 
anymore,” she told me. “It feels lighter.” Some (including me) may also 
need therapy or medication to cope with their rage—even if that rage is 
rational and justified.

Employing such internal strategies makes sense, but the fact that we 
need them makes me furious all over again. We shouldn’t all have to be 
investing time in complex coping techniques to keep ourselves from 
exploding with rage or going numb with despair. Advice on burnout often 
stresses that you can’t fix it with self-care—that you have to fix your 
working conditions. But what if the conditions causing burnout are a 
global pattern of fossil-fuel-based capitalism?
Davenport has said that climate change, an ever-present crisis, causes 
“ambient anxiety” that raises our background levels of tension and 
worry. But the pandemic is also causing ambient anxiety. For people of 
color, racism does the same, every day. For Indigenous people, 
colonialism exists as a constant present-tense stressor as well. Poverty 
creates an immense burden of ambient anxiety. Many activists are thus 
working under “ambient” stress levels that no amount of coping 
techniques can neutralize. The paradox of working toward a just, truly 
sustainable society is that you have to do it in an unjust, toxic one 
that makes both the fight and just living needlessly hard.

Anger can fuel action, but we can’t live on rage alone. I asked everyone 
I interviewed for this story to tell me about a moment of happiness or 
joy they had experienced recently. Myhre talked about the physical 
pleasure of skiing. For Chungyalpa, it was watching some dogs “just 
gamboling in the snow.” For Davenport, it was spending time with her 
grandchildren. For Heglar, it was walking the streets of New Orleans 
shortly after moving there this year. “I was so giddy and euphoric to be 
here,” she said. In all of these cases, joy was felt not as a sense of 
contentment with the overall state of things, because the overall state 
of things is messed up. But even in crisis, joy presents itself as 
sparkling moments, experienced as what Davenport calls “a visceral 
quality of aliveness.” Allowing ourselves to be energized by these 
moments without guilt is important. No one is going to fix climate 
change by being bummed about it 24 hours a day. That’s not how it works.

We should accept joy when it comes and enjoy it without a particle of 
guilt. But if we don’t feel a lot of overall hope right now, that’s 
okay. We don’t need optimism or hope to keep showing up for climate 
work. We can do it out of pure spite if we need to until our optimism 
returns. Even as I work on my own burnout, I plan to stay mad.

In this episode, Andrea Rezzonico, Deputy Director of the Converging 
Risks Lab, interviews Andrew Davis, Senior Researcher at Fundación 
PRISMA. PRISMA is a regional center for dialogue and research on 
development and the environment in Central America.

Andrea and Andrew discussed several threads including:

-- The complex intersection of corruption, narco-deforestation, climate 
change, and migration issues
-- Harmful governance trends, including increasingly blurred lines 
between illicit/illegal activities, the state, and the private sector
-- Climate adaptation and mitigation practices that do not fully 
consider local populations
-- The importance of prioritizing indigeous and community rights, 
especially with regard to these dynamics
They conclude the conversation by spotlighting several actions the 
international community can focus on to ensure policy and development 
interventions succeed over the long run.

This is part of CSR’s growing efforts to address the nexus of climate 
change, migration, and security.

*Billionaires Are Ruining The Planet featuring Peter S. Goodman*

The Climate Pod
#Davos #ClimateChange #Goodman

In Davos Man, an excellent new book by New York Times’ Global Economics 
Correspondent Peter S. Goodman, the case is clear: billionaires are 
making massive profits off extracting resources from the planet while 
social services are being gutted. From climate change to COVID-19, 
Goodman shows how decades of slashing taxes on the richest people and 
cutting social spending has accelerated the 21st century's greatest 
crises and threatened liberal democracy around the globe. How is this 
happening? Why is this happening? What can we do about it? In this 
in-depth, fascinating conversation, Goodman explains the path we took to 
get here and the direction we need to take now to better govern our 
societies and protect the future.

/*Nationalize Fossil Fuel to Fight Climate Change and Inflation - Bob

By purchasing controlling interest of the major American fossil fuel 
companies, the federal government can phase out fossil fuels, transition 
to sustainable energy, and enforce a lower price of oil which will 
alleviate inflationary pressures. Bob Pollin joins Paul Jay on

*On this day in the history of global warming January  27, 2010*
January 27, 2010: In his State of the Union address, President Obama 
declares, "I know that there are those who disagree with the 
overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change.  But here’s the 
thing — even if you doubt the evidence, providing incentives for 
energy-efficiency and clean energy are the right thing to do for our 
future -– because the nation that leads the clean energy economy will be 
the nation that leads the global economy.  And America must be that nation."
