How New York City plans to end natural gas, oil use in buildings
New York City’s goal of carbon neutrality is set for 2050. To help get there, they have a goal to reach 100% emissions-free power by 2040 by ending fossil fuel use in large building systems. Part of the plan is to follow California’s suit of denying gas hookups in new buildings or renovations. Starting with government owned structures will allow them to set the example for the rest of the city. Since NY has vast climate differences compared to CA, natural gas usage is higher and skeptics aren’t sure it will play out the same way it did on the west coast. Alternatives are being considered to ensure they accomplish those goals but there are many cogs in the machine that we need to see work together.

Scotland Is on Track to Hit 100 Percent Renewable Energy This Year, Slàinte Mhath!
Scotland, like many countries, has been moving away from fossil fuels and replacing their energy generation with renewables. Wind is the largest power source in the nation and is continually growing. Enough energy is being created to power every resident’s home and more. Their target is to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Offsetting by planting more trees and using carbon-capture technology will allow them to emit some gases and still net-zero by their goal date. They are on the path to 100% green energy and seem to be able to do so by the end of 2020. Hosting the United Nations’ international climate talks in November this year will allow the world’s largest emitters to view firsthand the results of reaching those renewable goals.

Carbon Dioxide Reached a New High in Humanity’s Existence
Earth’s atmosphere tracked the highest carbon dioxide level in 800,000 years of history last week. Carbon emissions have been rising to record levels since the Industrial Age of burning fossil fuels. We should be more than concerned about dropping these numbers due to the increased heating up of the planet causing multiple public health problems along with environmental changes. You’ve seen the wildfires of late. We need “radical changes to the global economy” or we will continue to see worsening conditions.
