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employees after Trump administration withdraws grants – Fox News Columbia cuts 180 employees funded by federal grant withdrawn by the Trump administration – NBC News Who are the researchers?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…
In a recent editorial published by Phys.org, researchers claimed that climate change is driving stronger and more frequent hurricanes, which in turn caused widespread school closures, labeled as “neglected consequences” of what we call climate deterioration. [emphasis, links added] This statement is wrong. The available data do not show the trend of increasing the frequency or intensity of hurricanes due to human-induced climate change, and if the storm itself does not worsen, it is claimed that climate change has caused more school days under its own weight. Long-term observation of data and the official status of major scientific institutions, hurricanes…
The Department of Energy (DOE) announced Monday that it will postpone the implementation of Biden-er era rules that would limit fossil fuel use in federal buildings. [emphasis, links added] The DOE pushed the compliance date for its final rules to May 1, 2026, a year later than originally planned as it reviews standards that ensure consistency with President Donald Trump’s administration priorities. The move is one of many actions aimed at prioritizing government goals over climate change regulations. “Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Energy is adopting an energy strategy – leveraging all affordable, reliable and safe sources,” he…
The latest signs are showing that the momentum behind Lawfare’s movement is faltering, with Puerto Rico abandoning climate lawsuits against American Energy Companies later last week. [emphasis, links added] In a notice filed with the U.S. District Court on Friday, the government announced that it would “voluntarily dismiss the entire case.” Although it does not provide further explanation, Since the filing last July, Puerto Rico's lawsuit has been represented by Sher Edling, which is disconnected from the island's energy reality: More than 97% of electricity comes from fossil fuels. The withdrawal came months after Puerto Rico's newly elected governor Jenniffer…
Transcript: People use warm water for everything from scrubbing dishes to relaxing in the bathtub, so a water heater is one of the biggest energy in your home. But with the latest technology, you can get hot water while saving your utility bills. Wesley Whited of global consulting firm DNV said the new electric heat pump water heater operates more efficiently than the standard resistance model. Whited: “They are taking heat out of the air and transferring it to water instead of heating the elements directly, which is the way we have always heated hot water.” They are most attractive…
Every summer, as mosquitoes begin to buzz, the risk of the West Nile virus quietly rises—cities are not immune. In 2012, it burned through the park city, and two wealthy cities were surrounded by the city of Dallas, causing 225 West Nile fever cases, 173 cases of disease had a more severe form of nerve attack, and 19 deaths. In the United States, the West Nile virus is most commonly transmitted by Culex mosquito species such as Culex Pipiens and Culex Quinquefasciatus. About 80% of people infected with the West Nile virus will not experience any symptoms. However, about one…
