Morovis, a small town in the heart of Puerto Rico's main island, is the Las Cabachuelas Nature Reserve, a green maze of about 1,950 acres. This place (known for its numerous caves) occupies stories from the colonial period, rock art and copper ying, plants studied by paleobotanists, unique fauna in the Caribbean, and many other stories about living in Puerto Rico before Spanish colonization, and life and subsequent industrialization before Spanish colonization. These stories can be heard in numerous trips provided by Cabachuelas Project of Cabachuelas Workers Cooperative, a community co-founded in 2018 by Morovis residents to preserve and manage…
New Energy Secretary Chris Wright was until recently CEO of Liberty Energy, the second largest fracturing company in the United States. In 2024, the company issued a declaration called “Improving Human Life” in which Wright made an exciting statement that would be reassuring – if it was true: “One of the other things we often hear about climate change is that it causes a significant increase in extreme weather events and leads to fatal consequences. This is wrong. Extensive reports from the Intergovernmental Group on Climate Change (IPCC) do not actually show an increase in frequency or intensity of hurricanes,…
On his first day of office, President Donald Trump made a good attitude in pledging to end the Biden administration’s offshore wind lightning, executing the order to stop offshore wind leases while reviewing the impact of the industry. [emphasis, links added] New York Attorney General Letitia James' long-time Trump enemy announced Monday that she led a coalition of 17 attorney generals, mainly from solid blue states, to sue the Trump administration as James said what James called “an arbitrary pause to new wind developments across the country.” Last month, the Trump administration applied for a new offshore wind lease, which…
When it comes to climate change, to quote one of Al Gore's favorite proverbs, the biggest challenge is not what we don't know, but what we determine, but what we know, but it's not. [emphasis, links added] Two new studies show that the Earth's climate is much more complex than often acknowledged, reminding us of the importance of pragmatic energy and climate policy. One of them was led by researchers at Tangji University in China and found that after years of ice cap drop, Antarctica saw a “surprising turn”: record destruction accumulation ice. Since the launch of the first Grace…
Introduction: Revealing the Climate Myth One of the most influential and deceptive climate graphics of today’s cycle does not stem from any peer-reviewed scientific publication. Instead, after a thorough investigation, I traced its roots back to the 2018 activist document titled “Don't you mention the emergency?” Release by the Climate Emergency Statement Group. [emphasis, links added] On page 7 of this document, Graphics sharply add up with modern tool temperature data, juxtaposing temperature-stable agent reconstructions with modern temperature data, mistakenly presenting today’s warming as unprecedented and shocking. source Further investigations show that this misleading graphic was inspired by a 2013…
The media told you. And what they don't have. [emphasis, links added] Columbia occupies nearly 180 people for cutting Trump's research – The New York Times Columbia University has about 180 employees after Trump administration withdraws grants – Fox News Columbia cuts 180 employees funded by federal grant withdrawn by the Trump administration – NBC News Who are the researchers? what are they doing? This is information that the media doesn't care or seems interested in following up. You intend to think they are doing some important medical or scientific research. However, the Colombia paper does have profiles for some…
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially closed the doors to geoengineering and weather modifications in Florida as fears of “chemistry” are growing, signing legislation that repeals the state’s ability to issue permits for such action. [emphasis, links added] DeSantis spoke about Senate Bill 56 before signing the measure ahead of measures proposed by Republican state Senator Ileana Garcia. “It protects Floridians from geoengineering and weather modification activities.” DeSantis said in a press conference that realizing it was a concern for the people of his state. “People are coming to me all the time. We don't do that in any of our…
Transcript: In 2023, global ocean temperatures reached record highs – then maintained altitude for more than 400 days. Chris businessman from the University of Reading in the UK said that Elniño is a natural climate model and is just a contributing factor. Businessman: “Another important factor is that in the long run, the warming of the ocean has been accelerating.” When the earth receives energy from the sun, some of it is reflected and flees back to space. But in recent decades, changes in clouds have reduced the level of reflection of the earth. People have been adding more carbon…
Wandering through most metropolitan cities in Europe and the United States, you'll think we live in a brave new world that provides affordable and uneasy mobility for everyone, and a smartphone in your pocket is a portal to shared electronic ammunition, bikes and electric cars and a shared cornucopia of Uber or Lyft, and no more than five minutes. But if you are disabled or older, live in a low-income area or – imagine! – Without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared mobility services will become more difficult. They tend to gather in wealthier urban areas, where less…
This week, the Senate voted to finalize the two Department of Energy rules for equipment during the Biden administration, sending the bill to President Donald Trump to sign the law. [emphasis, links added] Senators voted 52 to 46 on Wednesday to overturn a rule that requires appliances to meet specific standards for energy-efficient labels. These standards apply to a variety of consumer products, including dishwashers, heat pumps, dehumidifiers and air conditioners. The House voted in March to cancel the statute. With energy efficiency standards, the Senate voted on Thursday 52-45 to overturn the Department of Energy regulations that set stricter…
