claimKate Guy observes that the United States faces a significant challenge in sustaining long-term investment for upgrading aging energy infrastructure, such as power grids and transmission lines, to meet rising demand and adapt to new climate realities amidst potential economic strain and public spending constraints.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that Earth systems science is essential for maintaining a strategic advantage against competitors in both the private sector and the military, rather than being solely an environmental concern.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that the United States has historically failed to provide sufficient attention, time, prioritization, and funding for climate adaptation and resilience, regardless of the specific presidential administration in power.
claimKate Guy asserts that international competitors of the United States are actively employing scientists to understand and adapt to changes in the oceans, atmosphere, and land.
claimKate Guy asserts that international competitors of the United States are actively employing scientists to understand and adapt to environmental changes occurring in the oceans, the atmosphere, and on land.
claimKate Guy identifies the potential withdrawal of the United States from the study of Earth systems science trajectories as a critical strategic vulnerability.
claimKate Guy observes that United States government administrations often prioritize 'energy dominance' and supply expansion over the resilience of existing energy infrastructure.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that the United States has historically prioritized emissions reduction over adaptation and resilience, and that the country now requires significant investment in tools and strategies to build resilience against climate shocks.
claimKate Guy states that the United States faces a critical strategic vulnerability if it reduces its investment in understanding the trajectories of Earth systems science.
claimKate Guy asserts that the United States needs significant investment to upgrade aging energy grids, suppliers, and transmission lines to meet rising energy demand and adapt to the new reality of climate-related challenges.
perspectiveKate Guy argues that the United States has historically prioritized emissions reduction over adaptation and resilience, and that the country must urgently invest in tools and strategies to build resilience against climate shocks at the local, state, and county levels.
