3 Charts That Illustrate the Impact of EVs on Battery Supply, the Electric Grid and Oil Demand
By 2035, there could be 125 million electric cars on the road, up from 2 million last year. The result: a steep upward swing in demand for batteries and electricity, and a similarly strong decline in global oil demand. A new report from Wood Mackenzie details the rise of electric cars around the world.

Carbon Loophole: Why Is Wood Burning Counted as Green Energy?
Carbon Loophole: Why Is Wood Burning Counted as Green Energy?
A loophole in carbon-accounting rules is spurring a boom in burning wood pellets in European power plants. The result has been a surge in logging, particularly in the U.S. South, and new doubts about whether Europe can meet its commitments under the Paris accord.
Proposed Secret Chemical Treatment of Jordan Lake Could be Dead in the Water
Proposed secret chemical treatment of Jordan Lake could be dead in the water | NC Policy Watch
This is the first of two stories about Jordan Lake. Tomorrow read about the UNC Collaboratory's findings on algae and pollution in the reservoir. It seemed like a bad idea at the time. Now, confirming the concerns of many scientists, environmental advocates and even some lawmakers, a plan to chemically treat a portion of Jordan Lake is even worse.

Evolving Understanding of Antarctic Ice‐Sheet Physics and Ambiguity in Probabilistic Sea‐Level Projections
Mechanisms such as ice‐shelf hydrofracturing and ice‐cliff collapse may rapidly increase discharge from marine‐based ice sheets. Here, we link a probabilistic framework for sea‐level projections to a small...Recent ice‐sheet modeling papers have introduced new physical mechanisms-specifically the hydrofracturing of ice shelves and the collapse of ice cliffs-that can rapidly increase ice‐sheet mass loss from...

Bill McKibben: Winning Slowly Is the Same as Losing
If we don't win very quickly on climate change, then we will never win. That's the core truth about global warming. It's what makes it different from every other problem our political systems have faced.

Most Dire Climate Change Predictions, Warns New Study, Are Also the Most Accurate
Climate change is occurring at a faster rate than has previously been predicted, according to a new study which suggests that the most extreme estimates of the effects of global warming are likelier than more optimistic predictions.
