PARIS (Reuters) – A rise in wind and solar production, together with more nuclear electricity, will dominate growth in global power supply over the next three years, curbing the emissions impact of greater energy use, the International Energy Agency said on Wednesday.” The good news is …
A new U.N. report says it is still possible to hold global warming to relatively safe levels, but doing so will require global cooperation, billions of dollars and big changes.
The new report is a synthesis of six previous landmark reports on climate change issued by the U.N. panel since 2018, each one compiled by hundreds of experts across the globe, approved by 195 countries and based on thousands of scientific studies.
Research has made it clear: Earth’s warming, the result of the burning of fossil fuels, is increasing the risks of bumpy flights. It has to do with ways warming in the atmosphere influences winds at varying altitudes. But that doesn’t necessarily mean flight turbulence is becoming more common, despite publicized incidents in […]

The 7 states relying on the Colorado River (AZ, CA, CO, NV, NM, UT & WY) failed to meet a Jan. 31 federal deadline to voluntarily cut water use, All but CA submitted to a “consensus-based modeling alternative.” CA is said to release its own plan shortly.
Earth’s protective ozone layer is slowly but noticeably healing at a pace that would fully mend the hole over Antarctica in about 43 years, a new United Nations report says.
Starting in the 1970s, scientists working for the oil giant made remarkably accurate projections of just how much burning fossil fuels would warm the planet.
‘The fact that we’re seeing such clear increases in ocean heat content, extending over decades now, shows that there is a significant change underway,’ one longtime researcher says.
When I joined CCL in 2017, I went to the DC conference and learned about the carbon budget — the amount of GHGs that the IPCC said we could add to the atmosphere and still…
Deep uncertainty looms over the Colorado River and the 40 million people who depend on it for their water supply. Plagued by decades of overuse and human-caused climate change, demand for the river’s water has vastly outpaced its supply. In 2023, [officials] must reduce use by 4 million acre-feet of water – 30% of what the Colorado River states have historically used.
from Bloomberg Green newsletter, January 3, 2023 Emissions are Growing Driving temperatures upward are record emissions of planet-warming greenhouse gases. Emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement production rose an estimated 1% last…
