LA Times climate columnist Sammy Roth reread the Laudato Si encyclical , and was struck by his nuanced discussion of extreme weather and sealevel rise, and the need to phase out fossil fuels making it almost certainly the most famous climate essay ever written. In that way, we just lost one of the most impactful climate communicators.
Mainstream journalists reported, repeatedly, that the Amazon was “the lungs of the world,” and that deforestation was like a nuclear bomb going off. At 400 pages, with 100 of them endnotes, Apocalypse Never covers climate change, deforestation, plastic waste, species extinction, industrialization, meat, nuclear energy, and renewables.
It describes fluctuations between the sealevel atmospheric pressure from the areas known as the Azores High and the Icelandic Low although these are not set in stone (8). Methane is a naturalgas and one burnt as fuel in many parts of the world, but it too increases air density and the greenhouse effect. Deforestation.
Fossil fuel : Any mineralized formerly organic material extracted from the ground and used in energy production: coal, naturalgas, oil. We are already seeing the depletion of the ice caps and rising sealevels. Filtration : Removing solid waste and material from water in the process of wastewater treatment.
In fact, both Environmental Progress’ web site and the central argument of Apocalypse Never is that energy, environmental, and moral progress are united, e.g., that hydro-electric dams and coal are better than burning wood and dung, that naturalgas is better than burning coal, and that nuclear is better than naturalgas.
The Washington Supreme Court concluded that the Washington Clean Air Act did not grant the Department of Ecology authority to regulate indirect greenhouse gas emissions of businesses and utilities whose products ultimately generate such emissions. The developer previously filed a lawsuit challenging a naturalgas ban in the Town of Windsor.
The court stated that the issue arose “because a necessary and critical element of the hydrological damage caused by defendants’ alleged conduct is the rising sealevel along the Pacific coast and in the San Francisco Bay, both of which are navigable waters of the United States.” Public Citizen, Inc. Trump , No. 1:17 -cv-00253 (D.D.C.
California Governor vetoes tropical deforestation bill. That means, for example, including the emissions from constructing a naturalgas pipeline along with the emissions from burning the fuel it would transport for generating electric power.

The federal district court for the Western District of Louisiana issued a nationwide preliminary injunction barring the Biden administration from implementing a “Pause” on new oil and naturalgas leases on public lands or in offshore waters.
