This is for @adapalmer's #ShareGoodNewsToo tag: the energy transition is (too slowly) happening, to the point that on current actions, it's expected that global warming by 2100 will amount to 2.7° C, vs. 3.9° 10 years ago; if pledges are taken into account then it's 2.1°, vs. 3.1° 10 years ago. 2.7° is really bad but not apocalyptic; 2.1° is bad but on about the same order of magnitude as existing war refugee events (Syria, Sudan, etc.).

More than 1.5 billion people have gained access to clean cooking (i.e. not using biomass, kerosene, or coal) since 2010, with significant accomplishments in the last year. This represents major progress for indoor air quality. Clean cooking saves millions of lives. #ShareGoodNewsToohttps://cleancooking.org/
Amazing piece about the incredible cystic fibrosis drug, Trifakta, that came out in 2019. Cystic fibrosis once all but guaranteed an early death. Today, those who begin taking the drug in early adolescence can expect to survive to age 82—an essentially normal life span. #ShareGoodNewsToohttps://fixthenews.com/r/284bbd7b?m=d62c57a4-125a-4b9d-b04d-bdfd23b8627c
