Interactive map shows which Southern California cities could be underwater in 2050

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 13:19:04 GMT

Residents of the northeastern U.S. saw firsthand this summer the devastation flooding can cause in a community. Unfortunately, scientists predict flooding will only become more common as the years go on. A map created by Climate Central, an organization of scientists and journalists focused on studying the impacts of climate change, shows what the future may hold for coastal communities as sea level rises.In the first map (below), we set the projections to include sea level rise and typical annual flooding (weather that can be expected every year). We set the map to include what would happen with "unchecked pollution" between now and 2050. That setting most closely matches the current path we're on, Climate Central said. Earth gets hotter, deadlier despite decades of global climate talks For luck, we set the bar to "medium," which reflects the middle range of possibilities predicted by scientists. Explore the interactive map below to zoom in on impacts around the country. You can...

Trump joins right-wing defense of friend Jason Aldean and his ‘pro-lynching’ video

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 13:19:04 GMT

Donald Trump has finally spoken out in defense of his friend Jason Aldean and the country music star’s incendiary video, “Try That In a Small Town,” two days after Country Music Television pulled the video from its rotation.The 45th president said on his Truth Social account late Wednesday, “Jason Aldean is a fantastic guy who just came out with a great new song. Support Jason all the way. MAGA!!!”By joining the chorus of Aldean’s right-wing supporters and by invoking his MAGA catchphrase, Trump will no doubt raise the outrage level in the latest clash in America’s culture wars. Trump’s message comes as the former reality TV star is running for president again in 2024 and, as he revealed on Tuesday, that he may be indicted in a third case — this one involving his alleged efforts to illegally overturn the 2020 election.Former President Donald Trump exits the stage after he spoke at the Turning Point Action conference as he continu...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 13:19:04 GMT

By WENDY FRY | CalMattersCalifornia’s electric bills — already some of the highest in the nation — are rising, but regulators are debating a new plan to charge customers based on their income level.Typically what you pay for electricity depends on how much you use.

Their proposal is one of several state regulators received designed to accommodate a new law to make energy less costly for California’s lowest-income customers.Some state Republican lawmakers are warning the changes could produce unintended results, such as weakening incentives to conserve electricity or raising costs for customers using solar energy.But the utility companies say the measure would reduce electricity bills for the lowest inco...
