When we talk about climate change, we often talk about negative tipping points — irreversible devastation that can set off or accelerate the destruction of ecological systems. But there’s another side of the story: positive tipping points. In this one-hour Covering Climate Now press briefing, experts will explain a new report, authored by panelist Professor Tim Lenton, that will be released on Monday, September 23.

When the Olympics return to Los Angeles in 2028, we can make history— and vastly lower our electric rates, clean our air and employ our people— by making sure the Games are 100% powered with local-generated solar energy. 

That clean green electricity should not be wired in via an obsolete, over-stressed grid, coming from places that should otherwise be left in their natural state. Instead we have four full years to cover every appropriate southern California rooftop with photovoltaic cells.  

That would mean installing solar arrays atop this mega-city’s many square miles of wahouses, businesses, factories and homes. It would also embrace our parking lots and structures, sports stadia, aqueducts, canals, rivers, reservoirs, all powering local-based micro-grids that can save billions in unnecessary generation and transmission costs.
