Quote: “A decade after the Paris Agreement, global greenhouse gas emissions are barely rising, up just 0.3% a year since 2015, compared with 1.7% before.” Amazing and heartening news. (Fix the News)

A pretty good list, although I think a lot more highly of 1951’s The Day the Earth Stood Still than they do. I just wish someone would remake the film with the same ending as Harry Bates’ original story. Klaatu barada nikto! (h/t 1440)
“Juneau is facing a housing shortage. These high school students are helping combat it.” Brilliant. (Alaska Public Media)

Quote for the day
Try not to worry too much about the climate summits. What matters far more is that China is now playing midwife to a clean energy transition that makes economic sense for the 80% of humanity that lives in countries that import fossil fuels. Those 6.4 billion people have no reason to stay dependent on shipments from petrostates anymore, when they can import solar panels made by the world’s first electrostate. —Fix the News
