*Phaseout of coal power far too slow to avoid "climate chaos", report finds.*

Public pressure convinced Governor Hochul to drop her plan to change New York law to permit greater amounts of methane emissions.

The OECD, an organization mostly of developed countries which administers economic aid, has agreed on criteria for "climate-friendly" projects which are vulnerable to distortion.

For instance, hydrogen for intermediate storage of energy avoids greenhouse gas emissions if the hydrogen is made by electrolysis of water using 100% renewable electricity. If "clean hydrogen or ammonia" is strictly defined that way, it would be a reasonable policy. But planet roasters' playbook is to try to stretch that policy to include hydrogen made from fossil fuels.

Unless the policy is made firm and robust enough to prevent that, they will twist it so that it speeds destruction.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus recommends a long list of executive actions that Biden could take to help poor and disprivileged Americans, and restrain the powerful rich from doing some kinds of harm.
