New Mexico to build clinic near Texas border to meet post-Roe abortion demand

01SEP2022

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) on Wednesday signed an executive order dedicating $10 million in public funds to build a reproductive health-care clinic near the Texas border. The facility will help meet the rising demand for abortions as women travel to New Mexico from neighboring states that have banned the procedure since the Supreme Court in June overturned Roe v. Wade, which had protected abortion rights nationwide for a half-century. The new clinic will be built in southern New Mexico's Doña Ana County, which borders Texas, where abortion is now outlawed. "We must work to protect and expand the availability of these services to address the demands on our system," Lujan Grisham said. [Reuters]

Report: Greenhouse gas levels hit record high in 2021

01SEP2022

The annual State of the Climate report published Wednesday shows that in 2021, greenhouse gas levels, global sea levels, and ocean heat reached record highs. The international report was led by scientists from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Information. "The data presented in this report are clear — we continue to see more compelling scientific evidence that climate change has global impacts and shows no sign of slowing," NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad said in a statement. "With many communities hit with 1,000-year floods, exceptional drought, and historic heat this year, it shows that the climate crisis is not a future threat but something we must address today."

Would it be too much to ask for some numerical values (greenhouse gas levels, global sea levels, and ocean heat reached record highs).

California urges energy conservation as heat wave hits

01SEP2022

California issued a statewide flex alert Wednesday, urging voluntary energy conservation during what is expected to be the year's worst heat wave in the state. Coastal highs could reach 80 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit through Saturday, then rise to 100 degrees Sunday and Monday, possibly hitting record highs, according to the National Weather Service. The state government called for people to cut power use especially in peak hours, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., to offset increased demand. "With excessive heat in the forecast across much of the state and Western U.S., the grid operator is expecting high electricity demand, primarily from air conditioning use," the California Independent System Operator said in a press release.
