An additional $28 billion is pegged to requiring more robust reporting around cryptocurrencies, and $56 billion is presumed to come from economic growth “resulting from a 33 percent return on investment in these long-term infrastructure projects.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJuly 29

The rainfall flooded the city’s subway system, collapsed roads, and prompted the suspension of inbound flights. On Wednesday afternoon, officials raised the official death toll to 25 in Henan province. The figure is believed to include the 12 previously reported deaths in the capital and another four in the nearby city of Gongyi as 14 reservoirs overflowed, causing flooding and landslides. They said 1.2 million people had been affected by the floods." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJuly 21

Many businesses are ending mask requirements only for fully vaccinated customers. Vaccine opponents, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., are using the occasion to resurrect the false claim that the HIPAA federal privacy law protects individuals from being asked about their vaccination status. On May 18, several GOP members refused to wear masks on the House floor in defiance of House rules on mask-wearing, including Greene. When asked whether she was vaccinated, Greene told reporters that asking about her vaccine status was a HIPAA violation." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJuly 21

The emissions amount to a billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, according to a study. The giant forest had previously been a carbon sink, absorbing the emissions driving the climate crisis, but is now causing its acceleration, researchers said. Most of the emissions are caused by fires, many deliberately set to clear land for beef and soy production. But even without fires, hotter temperatures and droughts mean the south-eastern Amazon has become a source of CO2, rather than a sink." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJuly 15

An underwater gas pipeline controlled by Mexico's state-owned oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos, also known as Pemex, burst in the early morning hours, sending flames "resembling molten lava" to the water's surface. The "eye of fire," as news outlets and observers on social media called the blaze after Pemex publicized the incident Friday night, happened about 150 yards from a drilling platform in the Ku-Maloob-Zaap offshore field. According to Bloomberg, the field produces more than 700,000 barrels of oil per day." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJuly 6

Seattle smashed its all-time high-temperature record, set just the day before, by 4°F. Why it matters: After two days of oppressive heat and little relief at night, the extreme weather event, boosted by global warming, is moving into a more dangerous phase. Heat illness tends to spike the longer heat waves last, and extreme heat is the No. 1 weather-related killer each year in the U.S." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksJune 29

The moves threaten to stifle a major source of objective United States government information about climate change that underpins federal rules on greenhouse gas emissions and offer an indication of the direction the agency will take if President Trump wins re-election. An early sign of the shift came last month, when Erik Noble, a former White House policy adviser who had just been appointed NOAA’s chief of staff, removed Craig McLean, the agency’s acting chief scientist. Mr. McLean had sent some of the new political appointees a message that asked them to acknowledge the agency’s scientific integrity policy, which prohibits manipulating research or presenting ideologically driven findings." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksOctober 30

During a leading line of questioning from Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) aimed at showing that Barrett has “thought about the world,” as he phrased it, she said she did not have a personal stance on climate change. “Do you have some opinions on climate change that you’ve thought about?” Kennedy asked her. “You know, I’m certainly not a scientist,” President Donald Trump’s nominee responded. After Kennedy encouraged her to elaborate, she said: “I mean, I’ve read things about climate change. I would not say that I have firm views on it.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksOctober 14
