Very wild weather in Chicago last night. I talked to my brother and he was genuinely concerned about tornadoes. 

More than 10 tornadoes reported in stormy Chicago night — including twisters near both airports - Chicago Sun-Times (suntimes.com)

Hawaii settles lawsuit from youths over climate change. Here's what to know about the historic deal | AP News
Hawaii settles lawsuit from youths over climate change. Here's what to know about the historic deal | AP News

A key term of the settlement requires Hawaii to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions across all transportation modes, including ground transportation and sea and air interisland transportation, “no later than 2045.”
The state must also come up with a greenhouse gas reduction plan within a year.
The transportation department must complete pedestrian, bicycle and transit networks in coordination with Hawaii counties within five years, while dedicating at least $40 million to expanding the public electric vehicle charging network by 2030.

I note that a governor today can commit to achieving something in 21 years with relative aplomb.

Hawaii does need more alternative energy in my view, it was or is largely based on burning oil at this point.  They have prevailing winds and a lot of sunshine, and even geothermal possibilities.

The transportation sector will be much more of a challenge of course.  I don't think they have a realistic shot at meeting that.

Sure, said plan can be like the "plans" we see all over, it doesn't have to be anything "real".  I could write one myself in an hour.

We're going to build more wind and solar and mandate electric cars and buses and trucks by X date and buy EV airplanes for interisland transport.

I guess it took me about 30 seconds.

Why climate change is missing from the high-stakes storm chaser sequel (msnbc.com)

I found this amusing, the "reviewer" is chagrined the movie doesn't mention climate change, as, of course, every movie should deal with some current issue, right?  And promote some message?

It's a movie.  The first one was dumb, this one is probably dumber.

Movies that try and carry some social message often fail and flail in my view.  They get popular with one segment, and are eschewed by another.

Jesus, it hasn’t stopped raining here for almost two weeks. Probably 10-15 inches or more. Predicted to rain thru next week. 

Marcus are y’all getting any of this rain up in Cen Tex ?
