I woke up this morning and looked at the weather report and it was astounding. You really need to take a look at this one. On March 31, they are projecting it will be 62° in Juneau. That is 20° above our average for March and will smash the old record. This is truly historical and seems to portend that we have made a quantum leap into a whole new danger zone of global warming.

BNEF is hosting a conference in New York starting April 4 to bring together executives and bankers attempting to generate value from the boom. Here are six charts from the UNEP report showing why cheap oil and natural gas aren’t about to slow the rise of wind and solar. more at the link
