Disturbing new research about the decline in support for environmentalism among Americans as they age.  “It reports Americans grow less supportive of spending money to protect the natural environment as they age, no matter the year of their birth.”  The problem is that young people have the enthusiasm to do things but old people have control and also a growing balance of numbers.  Why do people regularly lose their enthusiasm for support as they age?  Several possible reasons are given, and one can think of more.

Trumps administration rollbacks have sharply reduced the prospect of the US meeting its Paris emission targets (The Atlantic magazine.)  “The Obama administration once aimed to cut U.S. emissions 28 percent by 2025, as compared to their all-time record high levels in 2005. The new report projects that emissions will only drop by 17 percent by 2025, even in a median scenario”—and that could still fall to only a 12 percent drop.

A new study explains how increased rainfall amplifies the warming of lake surface waters.  Warmer air leads to more rainfall which causes lakes to become more murky due to organic matter dissolved in the streams that feed them.  Then future solar energy is captured closer to the surface instead of penetrating to deeper parts, which remain cooler than otherwise.  It becomes a different lake, and adding acidification from dissolved CO2 does not help.

A surprising fact about palm oil.  It takes far less land to produce palm oil than an equal amount of any other kind of vegetable oil.  “Palm oil is currently produced from just 10 percent of all farmland dedicated to growing oil crops, yet accounts for 35 percent of the global volume of all vegetable oils.”  Cutting back could end up being worse for the environment, even for wildlife.  By implication, along with other solutions, there are compelling reasons for halting the totally misguided practice of producing biofuels from any kind of oil crop.
