Here is a recording of my talk at the AMS meeting describing some of the results. Note that there's stuff in the paper that I left out of the talk b/c of time; e.g., the impact of grid constraints on the staggering costs of electricity in 2023.

In fact, renewables push the most expensive fossil fuel producers out of the market, saving money for the economy.

I just did a podcast with the Journey through the Growth Economy crowd about climate change and renewable energy. It's pretty good IMHO. Thanks to George Gianarikas and Canaccord Genuity for having me on.

Given how desirable talks at the AGU meeting are, I’m shocked by this. It’s a 40-min. talk in a big room in the middle of the week. It’s the best talk slot at the meeting. We’re particularly looking for strong communicators for these awards.

If you have questions, email me.

New post on The Climate Brink from Zeke Hausfather about our climate future. With current policies, we’re on track for a bit less than 3C, with 2030 NDCs we’re on track for about 2.5C, and with net zero pledges we’re on track for a bit less than 2C.
