<span style="font-size:12.0pt">1. A Bloomberg article summarizes the alarm and puzzlement about the climate models which have begun to indicate a climate sensitivity in excess of 5C.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">2. Producing hydrogen as a fuel has been a covert way to support the methane industry, as that has been the source of much H. Now renewable energy and the falling price of electrolyzers is making the electrolysis of water a cheaper
source of H for electricity, transport, heat, and fuel. Essentially industrial hydrogen embodies renewable energy in a stable and flexible storage medium.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">4. 25 of 32 US tidal stations reported accelerating rates of sea level rise last year, toward the higher end of NOAA projections. Those should be used for resilience planning. The strongest rise was along the East Coast.
