The order by US Dist Judge #Chutkan prevents—for now—the #EPA from ending the $20B #grant program.

Chutkan's order also blocks #Citibank, which holds the money on behalf of the EPA, from transferring the money back to the govt or anyone.

#ClimateUnitedFund & other groups sued #Trump’s EPA, its admin #LeeZeldin & Citibank, saying they had illegally denied the groups access to $14B awarded last year through the #GreenhouseGas Reduction Fund, commonly referred to as a “green bank."

Trump’s #EPA clearly shows it doesn’t understand the assignment
31 separate actions roll back restrictions on #air and #water #pollution.
#LeeZeldin exulted over the plan to rescind EPA’s 16yo determination #greenhousegas is a danger to #publichealth and welfare, known as #endangermentfinding
Zeldin announced EPA would revise a key definition that guides environmental protection under #CleanWaterAct, a change advocates say would threaten water supplies for millions in #US

Another #GOP boondoggle -

#Virginia court freezes order that Virginia’s return to #RGGI (Regional #GreenhouseGas Initiative) while #VAgov Youngkin (R) appeals lower court ruling he acted illegally when he took the state out of the regional carbon-trading program.

Virginians lose out on millions in funding for #energy efficiency & flood preparedness.

The move appears aimed at increasing domestic supply as #Trump threatens #tariffs on #timber imports from #Canada, #Germany, #Brazil & elsewhere. #Environmental groups say increased #logging would decimate American #forests, #pollute #air & #water & devastate #wildlife #habitats.

And because trees absorb & store carbon dioxide, a #GreenhouseGas, cutting them down releases it back into the atmosphere, adding to #GlobalWarming.

Renewable energy: rural areas can be the EU’s green powerhouse.

The European Union aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% in 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and to become the first carbon-neutral economy by 2050.

This ambitious goal requires a radical increase in the production of green energy within a relatively short timeframe. The untapped potential of rural areas in the union offers a way forward.

“Natural” gas is actually #methane, a potent #greenhousegas. And while it is true that at the point of burning it creates less environmental damage than coal, it is also true that because of leaks in the gas distribution systems that dangerously release methane directly to the air, the overall harmful impact on our climate of using gas to generate electricity or heat our homes and office buildings is nearly as bad as coal.” (3/4)

#EEA Trends and Projections: #EU greenhouse gas emissions see significant drop in 2023 | European Environment Agency's home page eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/news “In 2023, EU total net #GreenhouseGas emissions decreased to 37% below 1990 levels according to preliminary figures in the EEA Trends and Projections report. After two years of slower progress against the backdrop of recovery from the COVID crisis and impact of the energy crisis, the EU is resuming its strong downward trajectory in emissions,”

www.eea.europa.euEEA Trends and Projections: EU greenhouse gas emissions see significant drop in 2023 Total net greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union dropped by 8% last year, marking significant progress towards climate neutrality for the EU. The huge drop was led by a significant decline in coal use and growth of renewable energy sources and supported by reduced energy consumption across Europe, according to estimated figures included in the latest European Environment Agency (EEA) ‘Trends and Projections’ report published today. The annual EEA check-up on EU progress on its energy and climate targets stresses that EU Member States will need to sustain this rate of progress to achieve Europe’s climate and energy targets.

"From 2022 to 2023, the annual mean CO2 in the global surface atmosphere increased by 2.3 ppm. This increase marked the twelfth consecutive year with an increase greater than 2 ppm, continuing an already significant trend. CO2 is accumulating in the atmosphere faster than at any time during human existence. The current atmospheric CO2 level is already 51% above that of the pre-industrial (before 1750) era."

#Atlantic #Ocean's currents are on verge of collapse. This is what it means for the planet
Scientists are concerned that the #AtlanticOcean Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) system of currents may be about to reach a tipping point. If it does, it’ll have severe consequences for all of us. #Climate models suggest that the AMOC could weaken by 30–50% by the end of the 21st century if #greenhousegas #emissions continue at current rates.

Record Hot Water Is Fueling #HurricaneMilton
Milton grew into a #Category5 #hurricane in less than a day as it crossed warm #GulfofMexico.
Much of that intensification was fueled by record warm #ocean temp in Gulf of Mexico. Global temps are rising because #fossilfuels add #greenhousegas to atmosphere, helping trap heat near planet’s surface.
Hurricane-force winds typically stir up cooler ocean water from below surface that can weaken a hurricane.
