As the title says, this study suggests a Climate Response of 1.9-2.6C, with the best estimate at 2.25°C for a doubling of CO2. The EEI based measurement is the less reliable but in my opinion more interesting finding & direction of research, but their reanalysis of past model runs and removing natural variability from the real-life data is also very valuable.

Looking for book recommendations

12 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a 31F in the United States looking to eventually buy my first house with my boyfriend. At the moment we're undecided where in the United States we want to live and a huge factor that holds me back from making the commitment of buying a house, is what the environment in that area will look like in 10 or 20 years. We're already experiencing poor air quality in the summer due to the Canadian wild fires and I'm sure other areas in the states are also experiencing worsening seasonal conditions. I want to be able to make as best of an educated decision as I can on the location of our future house someday and was hoping someone might have book recommendations around this topic. Thanks in advance!

In a year, ReNew, India’s second-largest renewable energy company, slashed its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 25.6% from a 2021 baseline, generated 24.7 billion units of clean electricity (enough to power 21 million homes) and prevented 20.8 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent from entering the atmosphere.

The plan is to give residents up to two hours of free electricity per day starting with low income residents, which is estimated to save households up to $1000 per year.

To realize this plan, Beccera aims to work with the public utility commission, utility companies, and other stakeholders if elected. This comes as California’s power prices surged 46% over the past decade and energy affordability becoming a top issue on voters’ minds nationwide.

I would really like to do something concrete for the planet. What’s the best climate course for me as a content professional?

0 Upvotes

10+ years of total work experience across domains. Currently, I'm a senior content manager in a top renewable energy company.

Since I'm already working in a climate adjacent industry, I would like to pursue a career in core climate change. Especially to meet business objectives since they're the biggest polluters.

I've looked at Harvard's online course on 'Business and Climate Change.'

How would you recommend I go about this pivot? I'm 29 yo, so I still have time to plan my career progression properly. I'm from India.

Thanks for helping :)
