Roads and concrete literally being fried to a crisp. The costs of climate change is going to much greater than feared. It's time to panic and start planning for a new future.

Level 1:
The Gulf of Mexico is on fire, it's 112 degrees in Portland,
roads and rails are crumbling from the sun,
wildfire and hurricane season are here in record time and
people are concerned about the cost of going green.
COMPARED TO WHAT?
................
days like this make me wonder what if :
a 2 bit actor hadn't over ruled a nuclear physicist by removing the solar panels from the roof of the White House

When they get through cleaning up the last two Republican existential threats, Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is just a Joe Blow op-ed from a Pennsylvania newspaper pointing out the irony of converting old railways to recreational trails via the "Rails to Trails" program at a time when urban sprawl is out of control and passenger cars are moving from ICE to electric.
Here in Paulding we have an old railway that used to be the Silver Comet passenger train, from downtown Atlanta to Alabama. At a time when Paulding was one of the 5 or 10 fastest growing counties in the nation, the unused tracks were torn up and pavement put down. Today more Paulding residents work outside the county than in it, driving into other counties just to get to either an interstate highway or commuter train. But the residents here have a nice place to walk or bike. On the weekends, when they aren't stuck in traffic.

I feel like we have been here before... have we been here before? Anyways, what do you know about Obama's pivot to China or the Trans Pacific Partnership?
Communism is nothing more than having all the money with the rich and giving breadcrumbs to the rest of us.

Yeah I think he may have pulled this from his ass.
No source, and any searching finds multiple other countries over them. From my minimal research they're not the top of any ESG list or anything. ON basically any environmental or governance or whatever the top spots or Nordic or Switzerland.
