San Diego's city council unanimously voted Tuesday to adopt a plan to power the city entirely with renewable energy by 2035, joining cities like San Francisco, Paris and Vancouver, Canada, in setting ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions over the next several decades. Spearheaded by Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer, who took office last year, San Diego's Climate Action Plan puts the city on track to halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2035. The city is the largest in the U.S. to adopt a 100 percent renewable energy plan. The blueprint also goes beyond California's statewide goal of 50 percent clean energy in the next 15 years. "Today San Diego took a landmark step toward securing a greener and more prosperous future," Faulconer said in a statement. "We've done something remarkable, bringing business and environmental interests together in a bipartisan manner to support a cleaner community and a stronger economy. We've struck the right balance with this plan, and San Diegans can look forward to more clean technology, renewable energy and economic growth." huffingtonpost.com

Siberia’s Permafrost Is Exploding. Is Alaska’s Next? One of the dozens of newly discovered craters on the Yamal Peninsula in northern Siberia, as seen on August 25, 2014. “The warming has started to decompose the gas hydrates,” Romanovsky told *Slate*. “The pressure increased so high that it actually erupted the material out of the hole.” The Siberian craters are found in a primary area of industrial natural gas extraction. “It’s still much more questions than answers at this point,” he said. “For all my 40 years of studying permafrost, I’ve never read about these kinds of things. Nobody knows any examples of these happening in the past.” slate.com
