This NSF paper explains why Arctic warming drives crazy winter weather in the US. Do you understand “Polar Vortex”?
Raising animals for protein creates a LOT of GHGs. “Meatless burgers” from plant-based (or cultured-cell) alternatives exist. These new startups take the ideas further.
Study shows that GHGs from making “blue hydrogen” (made from methane) is more than just burning the methane. “Green hydrogen” (from solar-powered electrolysis of water) is clean, but still too expensive.
The IPCC was created in 1988, blessed by the Reagan Administration, and designed with approvals, checks and balances that induce a conservative bias, The New Yorker.
