*Heat wave in Europe sets records as wildfires break out*
Jacob Knutson - Andrew Freedman
June 18, 2022
An unusually intense early-season heat wave is bringing scorching 
temperatures to Western and Central Europe, with highs near or above 104 
degrees Fahrenheit (40°C) recorded in parts of Spain and France over the 
weekend.

Why it matters: The World Meteorological Organization warned Friday that 
this heat wave is a preview of the future, as heat waves are starting 
earlier in the year and are becoming more frequent and severe as a 
result of human-caused climate change.

Prolonged, extreme heat is deadly, especially for vulnerable populations 
like the elderly, infants, children and people with chronic diseases.
By the numbers: Spain's meteorological agency said Friday that it was 
the earliest heat wave in over 40 years, while France's weather service 
said it was the earliest ever to hit the country.

Biarritz, France, broke its all-time heat record on Saturday with a high 
of 109.2°F (42.9°C), according to meteorologist Scott Duncan. That 
exceeded its previous all time record by 4.14°F, which itself is 
unusual, since typically such long-term records are broken by smaller 
margins.
On Saturday, a staggering 203 monthly high temperature records were 
beaten or tied in France, along with 18 records for the hottest 
temperature observed for any day of the year, according to extreme 
weather specialist Maximiliano Herrera.
The nation's hottest temperature on Saturday was 110.1°F (43.4°C) at 
Pissos, in southwestern France where "red" warnings were in place for 
extreme heat.
Zoom in: In a post on Twitter, Herrera described the heat wave as 
"catastrophic" due to its intensity.

Monthly heat records were also broken in Switzerland and Germany on 
Saturday, according to Herrera.
Spain's weather service said temperatures could reach maximum 
temperatures of 107°F (42°C) in the northeast Saturday, while large 
parts of the country could reach a maximum of around 104°F (40°C).
At San Sebastien, Spain, along the Bay of Biscay, the high on Saturday 
reached 110.3°F (43.5°C), for an all-time record, Herrera tweeted.
Météo-France said that multiple weather stations across the country 
recorded temperatures that broke heat records on Friday as well.
Our thought bubble: This heat wave is shattering all-time records during 
a time of year that is not the seasonal peak, which may exacerbate its 
public health impacts since people are not yet accustomed to mid-summer 
temperatures.

Climate change is making extreme heat events far more likely and severe, 
with several heat waves in Europe attributed in large part to human 
emissions of greenhouse gases.
One of the first heat wave attribution studies, in fact, detailed the 
role that climate change played in a deadly heat wave in France that 
occurred in 2003.
The big picture: Amid the heat, forest fires have erupted in Catalonia, 
Spain.

One near Baldomar, around 87 miles northeast of Barcelona, has burned 
around 2,470 acres after starting on Thursday, though several thousand 
acres are threatened.
Other fires have broken out in Spain, Portugal, Italy and France as 
temperatures have soared.
The high heat put much of Spain country under high or extreme risk of 
wildfire on Saturday.
What's next: The heat is expected to subside in France on Sunday and 
move into Germany, though Spain, Poland and Austria will still have 
abnormally high temperatures for several days, according to the 
Washington Post.

*UN Chief: Fossil Fuel Companies “Have Humanity by the Throat”*
António Guterres likens their climate inaction to Big Tobacco’s denial 
of smoking-cancer links.
FIONA HARVEY
Fossil fuel companies and the banks that finance them “have humanity by 
the throat,” the UN secretary general has said, in a “blistering” attack 
on the industry and its backers, who are pulling in record profits amid 
energy prices sent soaring by the Ukraine war...
- -
He said: “We seem trapped in a world where fossil fuel producers and 
financiers have humanity by the throat. For decades, the fossil fuel 
industry has invested heavily in pseudoscience and public relations—with 
a false narrative to minimize their responsibility for climate change 
and undermine ambitious climate policies.”...
- -
Guterres is understood to be furious that, six months after the Cop26 
climate summit, and after three dire reports from the Intergovernmental 
Panel on Climate Change—the “starkest warning yet” from climate 
scientists—countries and businesses are ignoring the science and 
squandering opportunities to put the world on a greener path, when 
renewable energy is cheaper and safer than fossil fuels.

*Infertility, heart failure and kidney disease: How does climate change 
impact the human body?*
By Lauren Crosby Medlicott   June 18, 2022
Human pressures on the global environment are wreaking havoc on our 
planet, but they are also an increasingly significant threat to human 
health. Climate change is the ‘greatest threat to human health in 
history’, far greater than risks posed by viruses and diseases.

We need the same urgency to treat climate change as when everyone jumped 
to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Otherwise - our health is due for a 
downward spiral in coming years.

Here are just 10 ways we’re already seeing climate change impacting the 
human body – some you may expect, while some are more discreet.

    10. Heat stress on the heart...
    9. Sleep disruption...
    8. Respiratory Issues...
    7. Kidney damage...
    6. Aggravated allergies...
    5. Damage to heart circulation...
    4. Infertility...
    3. Malnutrition...
    2. Mental health...
    1. Microplastics found in our bodies...

*How can we take action?*
As we become more and more aware of the impact climate change has on our 
health, there is hope that action will be taken to change the future.

The Paris Agreement holds countries to account to limit global warming 
to below 2 degrees Celsius. Scientists and activists are offering 
solutions to mitigate risks. Governments are being challenged to act, 
and quickly. There is hope.

But without urgent action, human health will continue to be adversely 
affected by climate change and the fate of future generations looks grim.

*Volts podcast: Dan Pfeiffer on the Democratic Party's megaphone problem*
No message can succeed if it doesn't reach the intended audience.

You probably know Dan Pfeiffer best as one of the hosts of the wildly 
successful Pod Save America podcast, part of the growing Crooked Media 
empire of which he is a co-founder. Or perhaps you know him as the 
author of the Message Box newsletter, where he dispenses communications 
advice to left-leaning subscribers.

But before he was a new media mogul, Pfeiffer was in the thick of 
politics as a top aide on Obama’s campaign and then in Obama’s White 
House, where he ran communications and strategy.

Pfeiffer has seen the media war between the parties play out, and he has 
seen Democrats lose messaging battles again and again. He has first-hand 
experience of the growing power of the right-wing media machine to 
spread disinformation, set the agenda for the rest of the media, and 
deflect accountability.

Now he has written a book on the subject: Battling the Big Lie is an 
extended examination of the growing imbalance between the conservative 
movement’s massive media megaphone … and the left’s lack of one.

Listeners know that I have been obsessed with this imbalance for as long 
as I’ve been following politics, so I was super geeked to talk with 
Pfeiffer about how right-wing media grew, how it successfully 
intimidated both mainstream media and social media companies, and how 
Democrats can begin building a comparable megaphone of their own, before 
it’s too late.

*Carbon Dioxide Is a Pollutant. Please Help Establish That Fact.*
May 2022 Temperature Update
17 June 2022
James Hansen, Makiko Sato and Reto Ruedy
CO2 fits perfectly EPA’s definition of a chemical substance that 
presents “an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.” 
Congress, with strong bipartisan agreement, established the Toxic 
Substances Control Act (TSCA; acronym pronounced tosca) in 1976 and – 
with bipartisan support again – strengthened the law in 2016. This law 
has been used successfully to phase out or reduce many substances, 
including asbestos, lead in paint, PCBs, and CFCs[1]. EPA has broad 
latitude in how to achieve reductions and can work with other agencies 
for that purpose.

Citizens may petition EPA on the need to address a pollutant under TSCA. 
EPA must respond to a petition within 90 days. Yesterday several of 
us[a] delivered to EPA a petition[2] for phase out of greenhouse gas 
(GHG) pollution to restore a stable and healthy climate. The prospects 
for EPA to accept their obligation will be much improved if we can 
present them with an impressive list of endorsers of the petition. 
Please examine the petition and consider adding your name as an endorser 
of the petition. United States citizens are especially relevant as 
endorsers, but there is also value in support of world citizens for what 
is a global problem.

It’s expecting a lot to ask young people to understand what their

*A Hotter, Poorer, and Less Free America*
In the next few weeks, Senate Democrats could fall short—for arguably 
the third time in 30 years—of passing a climate deal. What will that 
mean for the planet and the country?
By Robinson Meyer - - JUNE 15, 2022
For the past 18 months, Senate Democrats have been trying to find a 
climate deal acceptable to all 50 of their members. The main obstacles, 
so far, have been Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia, the owner of a 
coal-trading company, who wants any deal to reduce the federal budget 
deficit, and Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who refuses to increase 
tax rates, the easiest way to satisfy Manchin’s deficit-reduction goal. 
Senators are now back at the negotiating table, trying to work within 
the rules Manchin has insisted on.
But their timeline is dwindling. Last month, an environmental lobbyist 
told me that if the talks did not produce a framework deal by Memorial 
Day, then he didn’t think they would succeed at all. No such deal came 
together. Now only about 17 working days remain before Congress’s August 
recess. Reconciliation, the parliamentary procedure that senators use to 
pass legislation with 51 votes, gobbles up floor time, so even if 
Manchin does agree to a deal, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer may 
not be able to get it to a final vote before the clock runs out.
So it seems possible, even probable, that sometime in the next three or 
four weeks, Schrodinger’s climate deal will turn out to have been dead 
all along. Democrats may not admit defeat until the last day of 
September, when this year’s reconciliation resolution expires.

At that point, the record will be clear. Even though President Joe Biden 
described climate change as one of the country’s “four historic crises” 
during the campaign, his administration—like the Obama administration 
before it—will have failed to pass a climate bill. Come November, 
Democrats will likely lose one or both houses of Congress. And the 
United States will stumble into a fourth decade without significant 
legislative climate policy—or even a coherent energy policy.

So for the sake of mental preparation, if nothing else, it’s worth 
asking: What will happen then? Over the past few days, I’ve asked this 
question of energy analysts and climate scholars.

Some of them have found it too depressing to contemplate. Others have 
shrugged. Even setting the legislative uncertainty aside, this year has 
been one of the most destabilizing moments for energy markets this 
century. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has inaugurated a new price regime 
for fossil fuels: Oil is now trading at all-time highs in most major 
currencies, and America’s liquid-natural-gas exports are helping create 
a single, global price for the commodity. Even coal prices are soaring. 
“Who the hell knows?” Danny Cullenward, the policy director at the think 
tank CarbonPlan, told me. “My crystal ball is cloudier than it’s been in 
a long time.”
But we can make some safe bets. If Congress fails to pass climate 
legislation, the effects won’t be felt immediately outside of a few 
areas. (They may include fossil-fuel prices, which could stay elevated 
for longer.) But over the coming decade, the world will wind up a 
hotter, poorer place. Carbon emissions will remain high, and the basic 
framework of the Paris Agreement on climate change may start to crumble.

The United States, in particular, would be left measurably worse. 
Although the country has never been a responsible actor on climate 
change, its peculiar inability to pass any significant legislative 
climate policy would set back its self-conception, international 
reputation, and economic mojo. At this point, not having a national 
energy and climate policy is like not having an internet policy in the 
1990s—so strange that it makes the entire system look diseased and 
antique. While fossil fuels remain essential to today’s economy, the 
next stage of economic development is unmistakably decarbonized and 
electrified. Without the kind of robust policy support on offer in 
Europe or China, America’s climate-friendly companies will not be able 
to keep up. And so the country will fall behind.
Don’t get me wrong: Even then, the United States will remain rich, well 
educated, and integrated into the global economy, although intensifying 
wildfires and other climate disasters will eat away at its housing 
stock, industrial base, and treasured Pax Americana. But the country 
will be worse off—less wealthy, less at ease, less free—than it could 
have been. Oil and gas prices will still dictate the shape of American 
budgets; climate-driven inflation will intensify. And the American 
public’s understanding of the future will remain clouded—by a 
public-policy problem first recognized more than 30 years ago by 
President George H. W. Bush
The country, in short, will stagnate. And stagnation is a choice.

The most immediate consequence is straightforward. The country will 
build less zero-carbon infrastructure than if the climate package had 
passed. Utilities will erect fewer wind and solar farms, and consumers 
will buy fewer electric vehicles. Fewer Americans, too, will switch to 
efficient induction stoves or heat pumps. The bill’s delay has already 
put hundreds of billions of dollars of investment in clean energy on 
hold. If the bill fails, some of that spending will be canceled.

That cancellation won’t dent only the growth of hippie-dippie 
renewables. The reconciliation bill’s tax credits had an innovative 
design, subsidizing all sources of zero-carbon electricity production, 
not just wind and solar. This design was a large part of why economists 
at the University of Chicago and the Rhodium Group, an energy-research 
firm, projected that the tax credits could produce as much as $1.5 
trillion of economic surplus by 2050. In their absence, all zero-carbon 
power would suffer: Existing nuclear-power plants may shut down earlier 
than they otherwise would, and some new nuclear and geothermal power 
plants will never get built.

That lack of capital turnover will ripple across the economy. Because 
fewer Americans will switch to zero-carbon technologies, they will need 
more fossil fuels, keeping energy prices elevated for longer. Every 
electric-vehicle driver, after all, is one less buyer of gasoline; every 
heat-pump owner is one less buyer of natural gas.
That means that the United States will release more carbon pollution 
than it would otherwise, accelerating global warming and ocean 
acidification. Don’t get me wrong: The country will not immediately 
become a cartoonish, smoggy wasteland like in The Lorax, with 
smokestacks coughing untold amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. (At 
least, it won’t soon become any more of a climate villain than it is 
today.) But as its chronic carbon addiction runs its course, its 
environment and economic fundamentals will get worse.
- -
Even beyond the climatic consequences, the failure to pass a climate 
bill will make people sicker and hurt the local environment. Because 
fossil-fuel-burning cars, factories, and power plants also produce 
conventionally toxic forms of pollution, America’s air will carry more 
particulate matter, tiny shards of ash that can poison the heart, lungs, 
and brain. By 2030, some 25,000 more Americans will die than if the bill 
had passed, according to Princeton’s energy-policy analysis project.
Those are the direct and most straightforward consequences of the 
climate deal’s failure, the ones that suggest themselves just by 
extending current trends into the future. But as the disease of 
stagnation progresses, other, more dire symptoms will begin to appear. 
In the coming days, the Supreme Court will rule on a landmark case that 
could gut the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate 
greenhouse-gas pollution under the Clean Air Act. Without a 
reconciliation deal, the Court’s ruling will determine whether there’s 
any hope of making the 2030 goal. If the Court preserves most, or even 
part, of the agency’s power, then the Biden administration can still 
attempt ambitious climate regulation over the next two years, requiring 
utilities, carmakers, and perhaps even industrial facilities to cut 
their climate pollution. And because fossil fuels are so expensive right 
now, and renewables are so cheap, the agency could justify deep cuts to 
carbon pollution when conducting a cost-benefit analysis.
- -
Would that be enough to meet the 2030 targets? Gina McCarthy, the White 
House’s climate czar, has claimed that even with no additional 
legislation, the government can still hit them. But energy experts are 
skeptical. “It’s just hard to see all of that happening,” Larsen, the 
Rhodium Group analyst, told me. “I agree with Gina McCarthy when she 
says that the federal government has all the tools it needs. But without 
hundreds of billions of [federal] investment, it makes it 10 times 
harder to use all the tools in a way that makes it likely the targets 
would be reached by 2030.” State governments would also have to step up, 
he said, passing far more sweeping clean-energy rules than even 
California or New York have on the books today.

And that’s the good outcome. If the Court’s entrenched conservative 
majority kneecaps the EPA, then the White House will be out of options, 
and American climate activism will likely take a grim turn. Progressives 
will have watched the collapse of their legislative and regulatory 
routes to cut carbon pollution, and the ongoing Republican backlash to 
corporate activism will foreclose their ability to green even their 
workplaces. Just as President Donald Trump’s win electrified campus 
activists, a resounding defeat for climate action could empower those 
climate campaigners who are already eager to blow up pipelines.

By contrast, if the tax credits pass, “you start to see a world where 
with some of these emerging technologies, like [direct air capture] or 
hydrogen, the U.S. has a competitive head start and has the potential to 
get into a dominant position,” Larsen said.

The most likely outcome might be a mix of these scenarios. Some new 
climate-tech start-ups may build their first facility here, because last 
year’s bipartisan infrastructure law authorized more than $11.5 billion 
for demonstration direct-air-capture and hydrogen projects. But that 
money can’t necessarily help build a company’s third, fourth, or fifth 
facility, and when it comes time to scale up, those same firms may go 
abroad. “Nobody’s going to build a scale-up business on a 
fingers-crossed hope that there’s a tax credit at the end of the 
decade,” Larsen said.

“We’re talking about $1 [trillion] to $4 trillion a year in investments 
due to energy transition,” Nemet added. “If that spending happens 
elsewhere, or U.S. firms don’t do that hiring, that’s a lost 
opportunity.” It could also be a national-security blunder. Look at the 
role that batteries and other climate tech have played in the war in 
Ukraine, where soldiers have used small drones to drop grenades on 
Russian trenches and fired anti-tank rockets from e-bikes. In a future 
conflict, having the industrial capacity and engineering know-how to 
mass-manufacture such gadgets could prove decisive.
Even if the U.S. forgoes that investment, Nemet’s largest fear is that 
the transition will happen too slowly. Even the most conservative 
assessments say that the world will need to use technology to remove one 
to three gigatons of carbon every year by the middle of the century. 
That implies an almost unimaginable level of technological growth given 
what exists today. “For direct air capture to reach one gigaton a year 
in 2050, it would have to grow at 40 percent a year, every year, from 
now to 2050,” he said. Solar deployment, by contrast, has grown 30 
percent a year for 40 years, according to Nemet’s research. “And solar’s 
been kind of miraculous that way, so we’d have to go a little faster,” 
he said. Even cellphones grew only 15 percent per year at their peak. 
“If we’re talking about taking our foot off the gas a little bit in the 
U.S., that’s gonna make it harder” to meet those targets, Nemet told me.

Democrats might get another few chances to pass some climate policy in 
the coming decade, even if this effort fails. Historically, the party 
has found more success by tacking energy policy onto other legislative 
vehicles—such as a must-pass defense or budget bill—rather than 
separating it out. That could prove true again now. The first 
opportunity might come after the midterm elections this year, when a 
lame-duck Congress could pass a bipartisan “tax extenders” package that 
pushes each party’s cherished tax policies forward. Even if that passes, 
though, it will likely cover only another year or two, and it won’t 
restore the tax credits to their highest historical levels, as a 
reconciliation deal could. It also won’t make the existing set of tax 
credits, which favor wind or solar specifically, more technology-neutral.
Two milestones stand out after that. The first will arrive next year, 
when Congress will review agricultural policy and pass a new version of 
the Farm Bill. The last draft of the Build Back Better proposal included 
$27 billion to encourage soil-based carbon-capture techniques; that 
money could be slotted into the Farm Bill. After that, the next 
opportunity won’t arise until 2025, when most of the major provisions in 
the Trump tax credits will expire and Congress will debate whether to 
renew them. Democrats could propose to extend certain Trump-era reforms 
in exchange for some clean-energy tax credits. But taking advantage of 
that moment will require Democrats to hold on to some shred of power at 
the federal level.

And even then, climate policy will matter less than it does now. 
Companies are deciding where to locate their manufacturing plants now, 
not in 2025. One of Manchin’s favored policies in the package, a tax 
credit that encourages firms to build new factories, could shift their 
decision about where to locate their facilities, but it has to come in 
the next few years, before those decisions are locked in.

Perhaps one of the biggest risks is that the country’s energy system 
remains stuck for years to come. Public markets are trapped in a moment 
of Hamlet-like indecision about energy: Investors can forecast the end 
of global oil-demand growth, which makes them unwilling to fund efforts 
to increase oil supply, but they also can’t fund the rapid scale-up of 
renewables and other clean-energy technology without public support. 
(High interest rates will make such a build-out even harder.) Consumers 
are stuck in the resulting gap, facing higher energy prices across the 
board as money dawdles between fossil fuels and clean energy. Without 
clear, muscular policy that makes a zero-carbon energy system all but 
inevitable, industrial firms could just sit around for years, waiting 
for a better investment signal.

More widely, the failure will speak to the sclerosis of American 
governance. If Congress cannot bring itself to pass a climate bill, this 
will be the second time in a row that Democrats have controlled the 
presidency and both houses of Congress and failed to get a climate deal 
done: In 2010, President Barack Obama could not coax a bipartisan 
climate bill through the Senate. Arguably, this is the third time that 
the Senate will have killed climate legislation: Bill Clinton’s Btu tax, 
which died in 1993, would have amounted to a kind of approximate carbon 
tax. But this will not just be a Democratic problem: Barring the 
intercession of the courts, neither party has been able to accomplish 
many of its governance objectives lately.

Of course, this history is not yet written: Senate Democrats could still 
hustle a deal together in the next week or two. But the outlook is not 
good. In retrospect, what might amaze our descendants is that there were 
so many ways to tackle climate change through policy. The problem was 
amenable to progressive and conservative values; whether you believed in 
conquering nature or mothering it, you could find a plausible remedy to 
the carbon problem. But our politicians chose none of them. They opted 
for perhaps the worst possible path of all—they bickered while the world 
burned.
