** "Poorly-designed carbon taxes, like those in all high-income countries around the world, do not deliver on the promise of cost-effective emissions reductions. Instead (they) cause serious and harmful economic effects that increase costs, scare away investment and deter entrepreneurship."

(10/22/20) reports: "The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) largest union is independently subscribing to one of the largest environmental publications, E&E News, after the agency abruptly canceled its subscription in July. The announcement came from the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Council, which said employees saw the cancelation 'as anti-transparency, anti-science, and part of a years-long campaign by the Trump administration to discredit critical journalism as "fake news" and stymie coverage of the union’s work to support employees following a bruising contract negotiation process.' The EPA had subscribed to E&E since 1998, offering all employees access to the news service which covers the agency and related government offices alongside a wide variety of environmental issues."

Ohhh I'd love to be...

(10/20/20) feature: "She was entering a tough job market. But piloting the most recognizable vehicle in America for a year isn’t an easy gig to land. The year before Ms. Swindall applied, 7,000 people applied for 12 positions, so it’s not just because it’s challenging to parallel park the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, an automobile that is also a 27-foot-long frankfurter. Knowing she needed to stand out in her application, Ms. Swindall, 26, sent the Wienermobile hiring managers a literal picnic spread of her talents while paying tribute to the greater Kraft Heinz ecosystem of its parent company. In a cardboard box, she arranged artificial grass and a checkered blanket on top of which were her 'cheesy cover letter' (wrapped in recycled Kraft Singles packaging), a 'relishing résumé' (stuffed in an empty Heinz relish bottle) and a pack of paper wieners baring her face ('so they could actually picture me as a Hotdogger')."

Who'da thunk it?

Hot Ice!

(10/22/20) reports: "A new type of white paint has the potential to cool buildings and reduce the reliance on air conditioning, say researchers. In a study, the new product was able to reflect 95.5% of sunlight and reduce temperatures by 1.7C compared to the ambient air conditions. The engineers involved say the impact is achieved by adding different-sized particles of calcium carbonate. Buildings of all types are one of the biggest sources of CO2 emissions. According to the World Green Building Council, the lighting, heating and cooling of buildings is responsible for around 28% of global CO2. That's because the heating and cooling of buildings is mainly powered by coal, oil and gas - In Europe, around 75% of this energy need comes from fossil fuels."
