It is early September, and we are late into what we at UCS call Danger Season , or the period between May and October when climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and/or duration of extreme weather events such as heat waves and wildfires. And indeed, this week over 6 million people experienced temperatures above 110°F (43°C) in California’s Central Valley, the most important agricultural region in the United States.

Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion (DEJI) policies, programs, and initiatives are critically important as we move forward with public and private sector climate and sustainability goals and plans. Underserved and socially, economically, and racially disadvantaged communities bear the burden of pollution, higher energy costs, limited resources, and limited investments in the clean energy and transportation sectors.

States have played a critical role in U.S. climate policy. The federal government is now supporting that role with federal funding for states. In the meantime, a number of states have moved a step further in plans to phase out gas and diesel vehicles. Two key states have ramped up their plans for carbon neutrality, while offshore wind made a big step forward in the Midwest of all places.

No, it’s not mandating carbon neutrality or increasing renewable energy.

A couple years ago , I detailed how an industry designed to increase and sell devices tampering with pollution controls was trying to use the extremely small slice of its business targeted at racing as a Trojan horse to hinder EPA enforcement and let loose a bevy of tampering devices on the American public. Since then, neither EPA nor SEMA (the Specialty Equipment Manufacturing Association) has let up their respective efforts to curb or increase pollution.

I hear you out. What does nitrogen have to do with food?… I mean, really what’s the deal here? Over 78% of the air we breathe is composed of nitrogen gas…a somewhat less useful gas compared to oxygen which we use in our bodies by the second. But for nitrogen to have such a lion’s share percentage of our air, there must be something useful it brings to the table.

Nothing affects food prices like the cost of farm inputs. And among them, mineral fertilisers seem the most significant. Fertilisers supplement the soils with minerals that are taken up by crops during cultivation. But among the many important crop minerals, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are of greatest significance. Since both nitrogen and potassium are readily available in soil, phosphorus remains a key determining factor to the success of farming ventures in depleted soils.
