⚡ NYC hit a major clean energy milestone this week ⬇️

[The City Reporter @THECITYNY]

The completed Champlain Hudson Power Express brings a significant influx of cleaner energy to the city’s electric grid, which is mostly powered by fossil fuels.

The warming projections that freaked the world out then are all now effectively baked in. Things could get much worse from there. RCP8.5 has not looked plausible as an emissions future for some time — as I wrote in 2019, and again in 2022 — but we are far from out of the woods.

[Prof. Ryan Katz-Rosene @ryankatzrosene]

Note the final sentence of this paragraph outlined by Zeke (after the highlight). The authors were identifying how it wasn’t just high-end of range emissions-forcings outcomes in CMIP6 which had become “implausible”, but also that some low-end trajectories in CMIP6 have also now been surpassed.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

Thats certainly a take. Here is what the new paper introducing the emissions scenarios we are using in the upcoming IPCC 7th Assessment Report actually says:

In the next two years, both CHPE and Empire Wind 1 are going to begin the transformation of NYC's grid for a clean energy future. Much more needed, but it's an important start.

1,250-MW CHPE transmission line from Quebec into NYC entered service this morning. State contract begins June 1 and the line will participate in NYISO capacity market in July. Can provide up to 20% of the city’s power.

The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce and @columbiaclimate convened a great group of researchers and leaders to discuss ways to deepen collaboration for environmental justice and climate action.

I wrote about it here.

Now in its 5th year, Climate & Environmental Justice in NYC highlighted the critical climate-driven health and environmental impacts affecting our shared community, writes @Columbia chief climate/sustainability officer @dzarrilli via State of the Planet: https://t.co/c1jd71v7Lc

Great coverage in the @ColumbiaSpec of last Thursday’s #EarthDay celebration. Climate change is having real impacts in our own community and it takes strong collaboration to deliver real solutions.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.

[Columbia Climate School @columbiaclimate]

On Apr 23 5:30pm ET, join researchers, elected officials, and community leaders for Climate & Environmental Justice in NYC, presented by the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce and @columbiaclimate, moderated by @Columbia's @dzarrilli. #EarthDay RSVP: https://t.co/rCjUYq23HM

Check out the @c40cities report here: https://t.co/QQ39DyAwgp

[Daniel A. Zarrilli, PE @dzarrilli]

New models are needed to bring private capital into climate adaptation and resilience projects that serve the public good. I spoke with @grist @TikRoot about a new @c40cities report, which highlights the path forward and the challenges ahead.

[grist @grist]

A new report highlights how resilience projects from the Netherlands to Malaysia offer a model for tapping private investment to protect cities from climate change. https://t.co/gAJlU41rF4
