A Department of Energy-funded solar company that laid off 280 workers last week quietly imposed a mandatory, temporary cessation of its operations during the holidays, and warned employees to “not let the rumor mill create false purposes for this shut down.” And in another sign of potential financial troubles, a company document that is supposed to guide “the next great solar company” advises leadership to “stretch payables” to help attain its goals.

In relation to the Kiribati story - the IPCC did not project 5 feet of sea level rise. That claim came from the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Project. The IPCC projection was 18-59cm, and it further indicated that sea level rise would mostly occur at temperature latitudes and not near the Equator. Analysis of sea level trends for Kiribati indicate the rates of rise there are much less than the global average.
