Can Biden deliver on his climate crisis campaign pledges?

He promised a shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy that would generate millions of new jobs. But will he be able to deliver? Candidate Biden had the most ambitious plan addressing the climate crisis ever proposed by a major party presidential nominee. His infrastructure and clean energy proposals included a pledge to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2035. Biden appears undeterred by the $2 trillion price tag, because he proposes the climate crisis as an opportunity to create millions of jobs, address systemic inequities, and correct environmental problems in communities of color most heavily affected.

Today on Radioactivity, Rob Lorei speaks with Science Professor David Hastings about climate change in Florida. He teaches Marine Science & Chemistry at Eckerd college and his specialities include chemical oceanography and paleoclimatology, the study of past climates. Yesterday Gov. Rick Scott said his administration would be “happy to meet” with 10 scientists from Florida colleges and universities who want to talk about climate change, a subject he has been reluctant to address. A letter from the scientists was delivered to Scott’s office Tuesday. When a federal report earlier this year highlighted Florida — and Miami in particular — among the parts of the country most vulnerable to global warming and rising sea levels, Scott said: “I’m not a scientist” when asked about it.

“We are scientists and we would like the opportunity to explain what is at stake for our state,” the scientists wrote. loading... Sun Sentinel.

Tampa Bay's Water Is Home to More Than 4 Billion Bits of Microplastic, Study Finds. There are at least 4 billion bits of microplastic floating in Tampa Bay, according to a new study published in Marine Pollution Bulletin. It can be hard to quantify just how much pollution there is in any given place, since it’s so omnipresent.

Tampa Bay awash in microplastic particles. Tampa Bay contains 4 billion bits of microplastic, shocking study indicates. There are more than 4 billion bits of microplastic floating in Tampa Bay, according to a new study. Researchers collected samples of water and sentiment from Tampa Bay over the course of more than a year and found an average of one particle of microplastic for every liter -- which led to their calculation that the entire bay contains at least 4 billion particles. “This is a very important study in that it is the first for our region and shows the extent of the problem,” said Henry Alegria, an environmental scientist at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg and a co-author of the study. “It also provides a vital baseline on total numbers and distribution.

But environmental activists warn that we shouldn’t forget about one of the scariest prospects of all: the deleterious effects of climate change. The scientists who gathered earlier this month at Eckerd College for a public discussion about the issue were unanimous about the cause of global warming. “There’s no debate among climate scientists that it’s 100 percent due to human activities. It’s settled science,” declared Ben Kirtman, speaking at the Climate Science & Solutions Summit. Scientists, Gov. Scott Talk Climate Change.
