A recent article independent“How will the climate crisis push up the price of Easter chocolates”, claiming that cocoa bean production is threatened by climate change, which is why prices are rising.

A large amount of solar energy on the Spanish and Portuguese grids may make the Iberian power grid more vulnerable to failures or cyber attacks, one expert said. [emphasis, links added] This is because “inertia” is needed on the power system, which is a by-product of generators with rotating parts, such as those that operate on gasoline, coal or hydropower. These turbines can accelerate or slow down to help adjust the power frequency and must be kept within a certain range. Inertia also helps protect the system from failures that cause sudden frequency drops, giving grid operators time to turn…

Politico said European officials don't seem to be very concerned about the possibility that the mainland's green energy agenda might make it vulnerable to Chinese aggression in the future. [emphasis, links added] Politico reported that Trump administration officials met with a group of European officials in Britain in early April to warn Europeans that China is using Western climate policies to achieve its own geopolitical goals. Despite the Trump administration’s warnings and recent European experience relying on the energy of vicious actors, European officials mostly shrugged and showed that the continent still intends to make its energy system green in…

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (Rs.D. [emphasis, links added] At the end of the term, former President Joe Biden granted California’s Environmental Protection Agency exemption to enable it to implement regulations that would effectively require 80% of cars to be free of emissions by 2035. The exemption allows California to develop its own standard rules for automatic emissions rather than complying with national standards. California, as a disproportionate disproportionate in the U.S. economy, often has the ability to shape national business practices. For example, Automakers tend to comply with California Air Resources Commission regulations rather than more tolerant national emission…

A landmark policy developed by members of the United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO) in April will tax international shippers based on the carbon content of their fuel. The draft policy will be completed by the end of 2025. It is undeniable that the agreement reached at the 83rd meeting of the IMO Marine Environmental Protection Commission was a compromise – criticized by activists and oil-rich countries. However, it is also undeniable historical. As the organization said, “The IMO Net-Zero framework is the first in the world to combine mandatory emission restrictions and [greenhouse gas] Pricing across the industry. ”…

Transcript: Curry, stir-fry, sushi, jambalaya…anything on the menu tonight, has a good chance of including rice. Schnürer: “Rice is eaten by many people on the earth.” Anna Schnürer of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences said that as the population grows, demand for grains is growing. But producing rice usually emits a lot of methane—a powerful global warming gas. Methane is produced by microorganisms that thrive in floods of rice cultivation. They break down organic compounds, which are secreted by the root portion of rice plants, and release methane in the process. So, Schnürer and her team identified a rice…

The massive cuts that affect Spain and Portugal are reminding people that for whatever reason, the power grid collapses in modern society. [emphasis, links added] From supermarket checkout to air traffic control systems, everything stopped. Railway transport on the Iberian Peninsula was paralyzed for several hours. On the road, traffic lights malfunctioned, causing huge jam, and in Madrid, the metro closed the station. Mobile phones and internet networks crashed, and stores closed when electronic farming failed. The governments of these two countries are clearly pronounced by little by little, and there are no obvious emergency plans. Rumors about cyberattacks have…
