Defeating Trump isn’t enough. No Republican deserves to win – Los Angeles Times

By its cult-like blind allegiance to Trump, the Republican Party has forsaken its legitimacy. Voters can deliver a reckoning on this party’s irresponsibility by defeating its candidates soundly.

Many Republican policy positions — on healthcare, women’s right to choose, foreign affairs, immigration, even the future of democracy — do not reflect the will of the American people. On the climate crisis alone (an unfortunate omission from Calmes’ list), voting for Trump and other Republicans threatens a safe and healthy future for humanity. The disease, death and destruction caused by burning coal, oil and gas is becoming catastrophic and irreversible.

Climate change: UN report says planet to warm by 3.1 C without greater action | Reuters

 Current climate policies will result in global warming of more than 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century, according to a United Nations report on Thursday, more than twice the rise agreed to nearly a decade ago.
The annual Emissions Gap report, which takes stock of countries’ promises to tackle climate change compared with what is needed, finds the world faces as much as 3.1 C (5.6 F) of warming above pre-industrial levels by 2100 if governments do not take greater action on slashing planet-warming emissions.
