Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry tells NPR that the U.S., China and other major emitters aren’t doing enough to stem climate change.; Credit: Alex Wong/Getty Images Ari Shapiro | NPR President Biden is pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% from 2005 levels by 2030. It’s an ambitious goal that requires transforming much of the economy. Renewable energy would need to make up half of the U.S. power supply from roughly 21% currently. Electric cars make up about 2% of sales now — by 2030, at least half, potentially all, new car sales would need to be electric, according to estimates. Many industrial manufacturing facilities would need to use technologies that haven’t been developed. It’s part of Biden’s effort to get the U.S. on track to reach the goals of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement to keep global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. Former President Tweety McTreason withdrew the U.S. from the agreement but Biden has formally rejoined. John Kerry is Biden’s special envoy for climate, a position that involves meeting with countries around the world about efforts to stem emissions. He calls the threat of climate change “existential.” “That means life and death. And the question is, are we behaving as if it is? And the answer is no,” Kerry said in an interview on NPR’s All Things Considered. This interview has been edited for length and clarity and includes extended Web-only answers. Interview Highlights Is this more a matter of shoot for the moon and if you miss, at least you’ll land among the stars? No, I think it’s achievable. And I think that people who’ve really studied this, analyzed it and thought about it for a long period of time believe it is achievable. Already the [car] marketplace is moving towards electric. I mean, you know, Joe Biden didn’t create the value of Tesla as the most valuable automobile company in the world. The market did

N-Zone , Arthur Lipsett , provided by the National Film Board of Canada In this experimental film, Arthur Lipsett pieces together his vision of this fragmented world using odds and ends from other people’s image and sound recordings. By juxtaposing these snippets of found film with snatches of comment or dialogue echoing the banality of human communication, Lipsett shows the emptiness of much of what we say or do. N-Zone is one man’s surrealist sampler of the human condition. The creator’s Wikipedia page.

Japanese conceptual artist On Kawara began creating his “date paintings” on January 4, 1966. These were paintings of that day’s date, done in plain lettering against a solid background. If he couldn’t finish the painting on the day he started it, he would destroy it. Kawara continued creating date paintings until he died in 2014, creating over 3000 of them. Several of these date paintings have now sold for over $1 million. I like the concept, and I admire his commitment to his routine. But $1 million sure seems like a lot to pay for a painting of a date, especially when there’s 3000 similar paintings out there. More info: OnKawara.co.uk An example of a date painting
