A massive low-pressure system known as the Mesoamerican Gyre is developing over Central America and will bring heavy rain to much of Central America and southern Mexico next week. The Central American Gyre could bring more than a foot (305 mm) of rain over seven days to the Pacific-facing coasts of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, causing life-threatening flash floods and mudslides (Figure 1 ). Figure 1. 7-day rainfall predicted by the European model run at 0Z on Friday 20 September. Parts of the Pacific-facing coast of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua are expected to receive…
Trump was likely referring to the $7.5 billion approved by Congress over five years to help build an electric vehicle charging network in the United States. But all the money hasn't been spent or even made available to the states. Experts say the funding is expected to help build thousands of charging stations and more than 30,000 personal charging ports. As of mid-August, deployed funds have helped build 61 charging ports at 15 charging stations, with an additional 14,900 charging ports in the pipeline, according to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Some media reported that Trump's tone on electric vehicles…
Various mainstream media outlets claim that Antarctica is burning and experiencing unusually hot temperatures due to climate change, citing a recent study as the source of their reports. These stories distort research findings and scientific evidence. [emphasis, links added] The peer-reviewed paper cited in the headlines clearly states that short-term weather events are the cause, not climate change. Furthermore, contrary to media claims, there was no “heat wave” as the official meteorological criteria for calling the event a heat wave were not met. The picture above is the title of Science and Technology Daily: Earth’s last frontier is burning: Record-breaking…
In this month's Yale Climate Connection Editor's Corner, we gather to discuss a climate-friendly, energy-efficient, all-electric alternative to furnaces and air conditioners: heat pumps. Sara, who lives in North Carolina, is already the proud owner of a heat pump. In cold Rhode Island, Pearl dreams of owning a heat pump water heater. Sam Plans, a tenant in Wisconsin, suggested that her landlord should replace her furnace with a cold-weather heat pump. This discussion has been edited and condensed. Sam: Heat pumps have been on our radar lately because we've been looking at Vice President Harris' climate policies, and she's called…
Luke Lukoskie and his team at Island Spring Organics have been making tofu on Vashon Island near Seattle, Washington, for nearly 50 years. Lukoskie: “This year we're going to make millions of pounds of tofu. We're going to make 15 different varieties. Now, they are using waste from the production process to power the operation itself. The company is working with Seattle-based energy company Chomp, which installed an anaerobic biodigester behind the plant. Lukoskie: “Think of it like a compost bin, but it’s enclosed.” Any type of food waste (in this case, moist soy milk and the remaining liquid called…
from NoTricksZone Author: P. Gosselin climate news(Translated by P. Gosselin) In spring 2024, Professor Gerd Ganteför received a lot of criticism when he reported on the so-called wake effects of wind turbines on the high seas. up to 100 kilometers. Meanwhile, wind farm operators are also aware of this. The company Orstedt is heavily involved in the so-called renewable energy sector, and its website has some interesting results. Simply put, it means the turbines in the network are producing less, which means each turbine is less profitable. Overall, the amount of electricity produced increases with the number of wind farms,…

Vijay Jayaraj How could carbon dioxide, described as a dangerous pollutant that threatens human existence, be considered even remotely beneficial? Sadly, people – children and adults alike – ask questions like this, and they are replaced by irrational fears without the established science that substantiates CO22 Becomes irreplaceable food for plants and is necessary for all life. Some even recognize CO2 The belief that an increase in the concentration of this gas in the atmosphere could have catastrophic consequences lacks scientific basis and is detrimental to the fate of millions of people suffering from malnutrition.

“We Already Knew This From the Apollo Program” with Guest David Middleton NASA's “crash test dummies” Helga and Zohar and an array of radiation instruments have shown that the Artemis spacecraft provides adequate shielding for short-term lunar missions. These measurements were recently published in nature. oneradiation instruments and models inside Orion. These include the NASA HERA system, the ESA EAD system, and the NASA CAD and DLR M-42 instruments. The HERA system and EAD are hard-mounted in various clearly shielded locations throughout Orion. CAD and M-42 were placed on the anterior and posterior surfaces (skin) and interior (organs) of the…
Can huge extreme weather events inspire action on the climate crisis? » Yale Climate Connection
Posted inFollow the storm Many of the extremes of the past 40 years may have triggered transformational change, but they did not. Meteorologist Dr. Jeff Masters explains. go through YCC team September 19, 2024September 19, 2024 Since the summer of 1988, there have been many extreme weather and climate events—each consistent with human-caused warming—that, in another world, would have prompted the transformational changes needed to address the climate crisis in the United States. . In a film version of this article, meteorologist Jeff Masters looks back at these events and discusses the implications of our failure to act for change.…
