| One map tells you all you need to know about Trump's possible withdrawal from the Paris Agreement Posted: 01 Jun 2017 07:46 AM PDT  Should President Donald Trump announce as expected on Thursday that he is withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Agreement on climate change, it'll leave the country in a small group of strange bedfellows. There are only two other countries that rejected the Paris Agreement: Nicaragua and Syria. And, considering that Nicaragua didn't join because its diplomats felt the agreement doesn't go far enough toward slowing global warming, it means that, on this, the U.S. is most closely aligned with Syria, which is in the midst of a bloody civil war. SEE ALSO: Here's why you shouldn't totally despair if the U.S. ditches the Paris Climate Agreement This bizarre alliance shows just how widespread the consensus view on this voluntary agreement is. North Korea's government has even signed the deal, and Russia has too, although it has yet to formally ratify it. Image: bob al-greene/mashableThe Paris Agreement is viewed as the last, best chance to rein in emissions of global warming pollutants such as carbon dioxide and methane, which come from burning fossil fuels for energy, as well as deforestation and other human activities. The Paris Agreement, which entered force in 2016 with unprecedented global support, calls for countries to cut their emissions of greenhouse gases in accordance with voluntary targets. The aim is to forestal dangerous climate change, which the agreement defines as keeping global warming to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, above preindustrial levels. The amount of carbon dioxide in the air is currently at its highest level in all of human history, causing global temperatures to increase, ice caps to melt, sea levels to rise, and making certain extreme weather events more common and severe. Last year was Earth's warmest on record since 1880, beating the previous two benchmarks set in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Carbon dioxide levels in the air in 2017, compared to the past 800,000 years.Image: scripps institution of oceanographyIn the wake of a U.S. pullout from Paris, the key players in making sure the world still makes progress in addressing the unfolding challenge will be Europe, China, and India. China is poised to become a global renewable energy powerhouse, and there is already talk of a European Union alliance with China to move climate negotiations forward without the U.S. Should the U.S. leave the agreement completely, as expected based on numerous news reports citing White House sources, the country would go from the world leader on climate action to its most high profile climate deadbeat. China is the world's top emitter of greenhouse gases, but the U.S. sits at number two, and occupies the top spot for historical emissions since the start of the industrial revolution. In other words, a U.S. withdrawal means that the country that is most responsible for causing modern-day global warming will be doing the least to address it.

| Google points out everyone's terrible spelling, and then misspells a word Posted: 30 May 2017 04:03 PM PDT  While Scripps National Spelling Bee this week tries to convince us that America can spell, Google has the state-by-state breakdown to prove otherwise. SEE ALSO: California State University's grad stole features a pretty brutal spelling error The search engine revealed Tuesday which word comes up the most when people type in, "How to spell..." and the results are something else.

Its original map spelled Washington D.C.'s most searched word as "nintey," which is definitely not how you spell out the number 90. It was corrected later, along with some incorrect letter counting, with a new map and legend marked as the "one to use." We've made a few corrections to the legend. This is the one to use pic.twitter.com/0Z8fUlzmHc — GoogleTrends (@GoogleTrends) May 30, 2017 Helpfully, or embarrassingly, Google broke down the searches by letter-length. Most searches are for six to 10 letter words, like California, New York, Minnesota, Kentucky and Ohio's "beautiful" or Illinois' "appreciate." Good old Pennsylvania really pulled through with "sauerkraut." Some concernedly short search queries were "liar" in Rhode Island and "nanny" in Mississippi. The two longest words hailed from West Virginia and Connecticut (way harder to spell than Wisconsin) and were the same: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Mary Poppins. But the best finding was "tomorrow" topping searches in both Arizona and Colorado — but with different letter lengths. In Arizona, searches for the word were six to 10 letters, while in Colorado they were 11 to 19 letters — that's a lot of extra Ms and Rs. @GoogleTrends Interesting how "tomorrow" has eight letters in Arizona and eleven letters in Colorado — ᵖᵉᵗᵉ (@petecasellini) May 30, 2017 Catch the spelling bee finals on Thursday — they'll be on ESPN.

| Here’s why you shouldn’t totally despair if the U.S. ditches the Paris Climate Agreement Posted: 31 May 2017 10:37 AM PDT  President Donald Trump could soon withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. But that doesn't mean the country will actually follow his lead. Mayors and governors across the U.S. are vowing to uphold the aims of the historic accord, even if the federal government is no longer officially involved. Cities and states have set their own ambitious targets for reducing emissions and boosting clean energy, and leaders say they aren't planning to pull back anytime soon. The Arc de Triomphe is Illuminated to celebrate the ratification of the Paris Climate Agreement.Image: YOAN VALAT/EPA/REX/SHUTTERSTOCKSEE ALSO: For second time, U.S. to withdraw from major climate treaty, this time the Paris Agreement "The local commitment to acting on climate change is as strong as ever," a group of 70 mayors and city council members wrote in a March letter addressed to Trump. "As the elected officials closest and most directly accountable to residents, we cannot let our communities down by taking a step back on our actions and commitments to address climate change," the group said. A rooftop is covered with solar panels at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York.Image: AP/REX/SHUTTERSTOCKOn Wednesday, just hours after news broke that Trump could pull the U.S. from the accord any day now, local leaders emerged to voice their support for the Paris Agreement. The landmark treaty, which entered into force in 2016, calls for nations to limit global warming to "well below" 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, above preindustrial levels by 2100. If countries around the world do meet that goal, it could limit some of the worst effects of global warming, like rising sea levels, severe flooding, and more frequent wildfires, according to scientific consensus. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he planned to sign an executive order reaffirming the city's commitment to addressing the risks of global warming. He said New Yorkers will "take matters into our own hands" and called climate change "a dagger aimed straight at the heart of New York City." But we'll take matters into our own hands. I plan to sign an executive order maintaining New York City's commitment to the Paris Agreement. https://t.co/8oByikDt7C — Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) May 31, 2017 In recent years, more than 400 U.S. cities have pledged to cut carbon pollution and prepare their communities for the effects of climate change. Nearly 30 of those cities, including most recently Atlanta, have committed to transitioning to 100 percent clean energy in the coming decades. Thirty-seven states have adopted renewable energy standards that require utilities to get a certain percentage of electricity from low-carbon sources. Such mandates have proved essential to boosting investments in wind, solar, and other renewables projects across the country. .@JerryBrownGov, 11 U.S. Governors Call on President Trump to Keep America in #ParisAgreement https://t.co/4jPxV9S0cS #ActOnClimate pic.twitter.com/bAabh9vIgT — Gov. Brown Press Ofc (@GovPressOffice) May 3, 2017 Universities and private companies have made similar pledges to curb campus and supply-chain emissions, and many leaders have expressed support for keeping the U.S. in the Paris accord. Earlier this month, the heads of major U.S. corporations, including Apple, Google, Tesla, General Electric, and Coca-Cola, signed full-page newspaper ads urging Trump not to withdraw. "We are committed to working with you to create jobs and boost U.S. competitiveness, and we believe this can be best achieved by remaining in the Paris Agreement," executives wrote in a Wall Street Journal ad. These individual efforts — such as adding wind and solar projects, designing energy-efficient buildings, adopting electric vehicles, and developing mass transit systems — are essential for the U.S. to both reduce its heat-trapping emissions and prepare for the effects of a warming planet. America's first and only offshore wind farm: the 30-megawatt Block Island facility near Rhode Island.Image: Scott Eisen/Getty ImagesYet on their own, local climate action might not be enough to ensure the U.S. meets its current commitment to the Paris Agreement. Under former President Obama, the U.S. pledged to reduce emissions by 26 to 28 percent by 2025, compared to 2005 levels. In order to meet that target, experts say the U.S. needs more rigorous policies to curb the use of coal, oil, and natural gas, and replace it with renewable electricity and low-carbon fuels. But the Trump administration is moving in the opposite direction. In recent weeks, the White House has started unraveling federal policies to curb carbon emissions from power plants and vehicle tailpipes. The administration has also scrapped clean air and clean water restrictions for coal mines and oil and gas drilling sites. Local climate efforts similarly won't suffice to repair America's frayed relations with international leaders, should Trump ultimately take the U.S. out of the agreement. Only two other nations — Syria and Nicaragua — have refrained from joining the historic pact. (To be fair, Nicaragua abstained because its diplomats thought the Paris treaty didn't go far enough in trying to limit climate change, not because they don't accept that it's happening.) EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt receives a miner's helmet in Sycamore, Pennsylvania.Image: justin Merriman/Getty Images"Pulling out of Paris would cause serious diplomatic damage. The countries of the world care about climate change. They see it as a profound threat," Todd Stern, who led Paris negotiations on behalf of the U.S., wrote in the Atlantic on Wednesday. "They recognize there is no way to meet that global threat without an effective global regime," he said. "And they understand that the Paris regime cannot work in the long run if the world's indispensable power has left the table." Despite the caveats, efforts by cities, states, companies, and colleges to fight climate change may be America's best shot at maintaining momentum on the climate front, particularly as policies vanish and sputter at the federal level. "Our resistance is sustainable and we will serve as a counterpoint to Trump's dangerous policies every step of the way," Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, said in a statement on Wednesday. "Like leaders across the world, we aren't going to wait around for our climate denier-in-chief to play catch up." WATCH: It's official, 2016 was Earth's warmest year on record
