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…
The mass changes in the Antarctic ice cap were detected using a satellite weight gauge, revealing significant instability in the major glacial pots in eastern Antarctica and the entire ice cap. [emphasis, links added] The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) plays an important role in global sea level rise. Since March 2002, the Grace (Grace Recovery and Climate Experiment) mission and its successor, Grace-Fo (Grace Town-On), have provided valuable data to monitor changes in AIS ice cubes. Previous studies have shown that long-term trends in mass loss, especially in the Antarctic and Antarctic Peninsula, whereas glaciers in eastern Antarctica appear to…
Trump's presidential campaign “ends new scams to green.” That's more than a trillion-dollar climate spending in Joe Biden's inflation reduction bill. Abolishing subsidies that are meaningless and inflation should be powerless for Congress Republicans. [emphasis, links added] The opportunity to do so is part of the president’s much-anticipated large bill. But now there is drama. The “Inflation Reduction Act” was adopted in August 2022. No Republican in the House or Senate voted in favor. The bill avoids the taboo in the Senate, as Senate members controversially determine their eligibility to be considered in the Senate settlement process. Even so, the…
“Climate change makes coffee more expensive. Tariffs may also,” the Associated Press said in an article, which changes in the form of severe weather such as drought, making coffee more expensive by curbing production. This is wrong. [emphasis, links added] There is no evidence of bad weather worsening. In fact, coffee production is rising, and the Associated Press itself proposes some alternative reasons that may increase coffee prices. The Associated Press reported that some coffee plants “spoiled production forecasts in Brazil and Vietnam, the world’s largest coffee growers, due to heat and drought.” They do admit Globally Production “is still…
Solar and wind systems require some way to save sunlight without the wind blowing. From batteries to gravity, this approach is being developed rapidly and in many different directions. The following works sample the richness and complexity of this important topic. Battery At least for non-professionals, it is impossible to keep research on new “regular” batteries, and don’t mind those who are suitable for large-scale energy storage. The molten iron battery is a pretty promising progress, or we might say, rust. See “How Iron Air Batteries Fill the Renewable Energy Blank” (Alissa Greenberg, Nova) for an engaging and thorough introduction.…
The Trump administration began dealing with climate/zero net fraud by canceling government contracts and backing government regulations. [emphasis, links added] However, it has not addressed the root cause of climate scams: using fraudulent climate models to create fantasies of global warming caused by carbon dioxide, now known as climate change/extreme weather. Until this potential fraud is eliminated, there is always a risk that the government will revive the climate cabal in the future. Climate modelers are responsible for their behavior. This includes penalties for damages caused by U.S. agriculture, energy infrastructure, etc., as well as kickbacks for funds obtained using…
Transcript: When Nathan Ives grew up in Rockport, Massachusetts, tall elms shaded many streets in town. Ives: “They are just gorgeous, and when you go up and down most of the passages in Rockport, there’s only this canopy that covers you and embraces you.” But over time, most elms on Rockport and Cape Ann Peninsula died from a fungal infection called Dutch elm disease. Ives: “So it's a fundamental, radical difference. The streets are normal now, with the sun exposed. That canopy disappears forever.” So when Ives learned that scientists had developed disease-resistant elm varieties, he was inspired to take…
Hawaii Governor Josh Green formally announced plans to sue oil and gas companies for suspected climate damages, and just a few months later his administration endorsed liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a key tool to reduce emissions and reduce energy costs. [emphasis, links added] In an interview Monday, Governor Green listed wildfire damage settlements in Hawaii already Obtained from the state itself – Maui County, Hawaii Telecom and other entities, before it was revealed that the payments collected from the oil company were also “good”: “Owned The fossil fuel company's extra billions of dollars…” (Added emphasis) At a recent Hawaii…
After abandoning objective reports, mainstream media rejected a neutral stance on climate change, turning a complex scientific debate into a holistic narrative of the imminent disaster. [emphasis, links added] Far from impartial arbitrators, media media are enthusiastic propagandists who recycle the apocalyptic predictions that never come true, ignoring a large amount of scientific research, challenging the narrative of catastrophic warming. This is not journalism; it is activism disguised as truth. result? A global population is misled, policy makers are influenced by novels, and developing countries are bound by energy policies, prioritizing the “green” ideology over the well-being of humanity. Lies,…
