Quick Glance: New EPA Rules Target Emissions Reduction at Power Plants

The Biden administration aims to compel coal-fired power plants to capture smokestack emissions or close down.

The rules target limiting greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel power plants and reducing toxic pollutants from coal-fired plants.

The plan includes measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, toxic wastewater pollutants, and safely manage coal ash.

The actions are expected to face opposition from industry groups and Republican-leaning states, while environmental groups see it as a crucial step in combating climate change.

nbcnews.com/science/environment/europe-fastest-warming-continent-twice-global-average-report-rcna148829

Quick Glance: Europe Leads in Climate Change, Urgent Need for Renewable Energy

Europe is the fastest-warming continent, with temperatures rising about twice as fast as the global average, according to a joint report by top climate monitoring organizations.

The continent generated 43% of its electricity from renewables last year, surpassing fossil fuels for the second consecutive year, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to transition to renewable resources.

Temperatures in Europe are now 2.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, nearing the goals of the Paris climate accord to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, impacting human health with increased deaths related to extreme climate events.

The report emphasizes the urgent need for action as heatwaves, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have led to significant economic losses and human casualties across the continent.

Net neutrality protects consumers from ISP control, promotes fair rules, and safeguards against online fraud and scams.

The discussion on net neutrality also raises questions about service pricing and highlights the importance for internet infrastructure.

Quick Glance: Cause of Dubai Flooding: Cloud Seeding or Natural Phenomenon?

Dubai grapples with the aftermath of heavy rainfall. Speculations on the role of cloud seeding are being discussed.

Clouds consist of tiny water droplets that coalesce around particles to form rain. Cloud seeding manipulates this process.

The effectiveness of cloud seeding is scientifically debated, with limited evidence of its efficacy.

Experts refute the claim that cloud seeding was the primary cause of the flooding in Dubai.

Brightline West aims to lay 218 miles of new track between a terminal south of the Las Vegas Strip and a new facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

The project is touted as the nation's first true high-speed passenger rail line, designed to reach speeds of 186 mph comparable to Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains.

The trains will offer restrooms, Wi-Fi, food and beverage sales, and luggage check options, with an expected 11 million passengers per year and fares well below airline travel costs.

Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.

The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.

The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.

Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.

The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.

Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.

The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.

Quick Glance: RFK Jr.'s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to End Presidential Bid

Nearly 50 leaders and activists who worked with Mr. Kennedy at an environmental nonprofit group will run ads calling on him to “Honor our planet, drop out.”

As an independent candidate for the White House, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claims he would be the “best environment president in American history,” drawing on his past as a crusading lawyer who went after polluters in New York.

But dozens of Mr. Kennedy’s former colleagues at the Natural Resources Defense Council are calling on him to withdraw from the race, in full-page advertisements sponsored by the group’s political arm that are expected to appear in newspapers in six swing states on Sunday.

Separately, a dozen other national environmental organizations have issued an open letter calling Mr. Kennedy “ a “dangerous conspiracy theorist and a science denier” who promotes “toxic beliefs” on vaccines and on climate change.

Biden administration bans drilling in nearly half of Alaska petroleum reserve in sweeping win for climate advocates

cnn.com/2024/04/19/climate/alaska-drilling-ban-biden-climate/

Quick Glance: Restrictions on Oil and Gas Leasing in Alaska under Biden Administration

The Biden administration announced restrictions on new oil and gas leasing on 5.3 million hectares of a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska to protect wildlife from the impacts of climate change.

The decision finalizes proposed protections that drew backlash from environmentalists last year for violating Biden's climate change pledge.

The limitation on new leasing faced opposition from Republican lawmakers who criticized the decisions as undermining national security interests.
