FOLLOW US SUBSCRIBE   Major oil, power and consumer products manufacturers released their most specific plans yet for a proposed nationwide tax on carbon dioxide that aims to halve U.S. emissions by 2035. The blueprint unveiled by the Climate Leadership Council calls for an initial $40 levy on each ton of CO2. The council, which unites major fossil fuel companies and some conservation groups, even agreed to jettison one of its most controversial initial proposals—a shield against climate-related lawsuits. But Big Oil and conservatives want something in return: In exchange for the fee, federal regulations targeting CO2 emissions from power plants, refineries and other industrial facilities would be swept away. —Josh Petri   "It quickly becomes a very daunting, and sometimes demotivating, topic." —Kaitlin Crouch of ING Groep NV. Big banks are finally starting to account for climate change risk, but it's not easy.     Top stories In addition to the trillions of dollars needed to wean the world off of fossil fuels, and thus hopefully slow global warming, humanity has to spend a similar amount to deal with the damage already done—and yet to come. About $1.8 trillion is needed by 2030 to just prepare civilization for the effects of the climate crisis, a new report said. However, there's a silver lining: the payoff could be four times as much. As markets start to put a price on pollution, carbon farming is gaining in popularity. The agricultural technique, which stores CO2 emissions by regenerating soil and vegetation, could be a lifeline for U.K. farmers after Brexit (assuming Brexit even happens). Natural-gas fired plants killed the economics of coal. By 2035, those same plants will be undercut themselves by wind and solar plants, a study found.   California legislators will vote on a bill that would require state agencies to preserve federal standards on the environment, public health and worker safety that were in place on Jan. 19, 2017—the last full day of the Obama administration. The provisions would sunset at the end of President Trump's potential second term in January 2025. They're calling it "Trump insurance." Global warming has opened up Arctic passages to new shipping routes. Now the melting ice is handing an opportunity to other industries. Submarine data cables have become easier to lay in previously frozen regions, offering a shorter route for communications between the world's major economic centers, and giving a competitive edge to high-frequency traders, data centers and connected factories.   What we've been reading Trump told staff to squelch government experts who contradicted his incorrect claim and doctored map about Hurricane Dorian. NOAA administrator Neil Jacobs, who was reportedly told appointees might be fired, assailed his own  meteorologists. Democrats are investigating. In the U.S., people who lose their homes to hurricanes often remain and rebuild. Canada, on the other hand, has responded to the escalating costs of the climate crisis by limiting aid after disasters, and even telling people to leave their homes for good.  Vox lays out extreme weather scenarios for vulnerable parts of the U.S.: Hurricanes in Florida, extreme heat waves in Arizona and wildfires in California. It also reports on the controversy over Jonathan Franzen's New Yorker essay about how the battle to slow climate change is already lost.   You received this message because you are subscribed to the Bloomberg Climate Changed newsletter.     Unsubscribe | Bloomberg.com | Contact Us Bloomberg L.P. 731 Lexington, New York, NY, 10022

Fwd: News Alert: Large parts of the globe have already passed the crucial climate threshold of 2 degrees Celsius of warming, Post analysis has found

A Washington Post analysis of multiple temperature data sets found roughly one-tenth of the globe has already warmed by more than 2 degrees Celsius. That's more than five times the size of the United States. A hot zone off the South American coast illustrates a little-noticed trend in ocean warming — and the potentially catastrophic effects it can bring to marine life. Hot spots like these are the scenes of a critical acceleration, places where geophysical processes are amplifying the general warming trend. They unveil which parts of the Earth will suffer the largest changes.

Dorian breaks Bahamas all-time hurricane intensity record

  000  WTNT45 KNHC 011457  TCDAT5    Hurricane Dorian Discussion Number  33  NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL052019  1100 AM EDT Sun Sep 01 2019    Air Force and NOAA reconnaissance planes penetrated the distinct  eye of Dorian, and found that the hurricane has become extremely  intense with a stadium effect in the eye. The NOAA plane reported a  peak flight-level wind of 159 kt, while the SFMR from both planes  have measured winds between 155 and 170 kt.  A dropsonde from the  NOAA plane measured a wind gust of 176 kt at the surface. A blend of  these measurements yield to an initial intensity of 155 kt, making  Dorian the strongest hurricane on record in the northwestern  Bahamas.
