From Acapulco to Puerto Aungel, there was a hurricane warning on Mexico's Pacific coast, and Hurricane Erick quickly exacerbated the hurricane towards its impact on the land on Thursday morning, June 19. Depending on whether it contacts the land at a significant angle or causes serious damage along the coast, this can cause serious damage. Until Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET, Eric had sustained winds of 85 mph (137 km/h) and central pressure of 984 MB, and the northwest rose to 8 mph (13 km/h). Satellite images show Erick formed his eyes at the end of Wednesday morning, surrounded by…
Hurricane warning flew eastward along the Mexican Pacific coast from Acapulco to Puerto Rico as it rapidly strengthened the steam from Hurricane Erick, reaching the expected Thursday morning landing. Depending on whether it hits the coast at sharp angles or glides along the coast, Eric may wreak heavily at coastal stretches where powerful direct landings are rarely seen. As of 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Erick had a maximum sustained wind of 85 mph (137 km/h) and a central pressure of 984 MB, driving at 8 mph (13 km/h). Satellite images show Erick formed an eye on Wednesday evening, surrounded…
Several energy department experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the Senate Finance Committee unveiled part of its Republican settlement plan Monday night, which has many shortcomings in cutting the Biden-era green energy tax credit. [emphasis, links added] Compared to the House version, the bill text expands the provisions of the green energy tax credit granted by President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which was not voted to pass in 2022. The Senate Finance Committee issued a “One Large Bill (OBBBA)” on Monday to ensure credibility for nuclear, hydropower and geothermal technology Failure to end solar and wind…
The same party that protects lives and makes children proud first is pushing what Congress calls “a large bill.” The bill narrowly passed houses in May and is now considering the Senate, which not only makes it easier to expand the expansion of fossil fuel actions, making it necessary for people to raise the environment they need to raise children in the first place. The bill violates the basis of reproductive rights defined by organizations like Sistersong. Reproductive justice involves not only the right to have or have children. It's also about the right to raise these children in a…

Journalist Johani Ponce explains how he recovers and why. Repost this storyRepost our articles for free under the Creative Commons license, online or in print. Source link
Our understanding of future climate change depends largely on complex computer simulation models. These models are huge – they are made up of over one million lines of computer code, representing the knowledge of dozens of scientific subfields – without any individual scientist fully understands all the internal work of the model. More importantly, climate scientists should focus not only on one model, but develop and compare dozens of In various climate model comparison projects, or more such models. Opportunity reproduction, but so is complexity. As a philosopher of science, I am fascinated by the way model comparisons can help…
Transcript: Every day, thousands of diesel trucks pass through small villages and other Latino communities in Southwest Chicago, and the pollution they emit can worsen asthma and other diseases. “We've seen through conversations with residents…Diesel truck pollution and transportation are a big problem.” Melanie Minuche is with the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization. Her group is part of a coalition that is pushing Illinois to adopt advanced cleaning truck rules. The policy will require truck manufacturers to accelerate the transition to electric trucks and other zero-emission vehicles. The Alliance conducted a recent study that showed it could save lives. Northwestern…
It's another day when “Y” ends, so California's overlords are back to microscopic survival – now your junk is racist. [emphasis, links added] A report from the Diligent Laboratory conducted by the California Air Resources Commission (CARB) claims that 70% of the state’s landfills emit the most greenhouse gases in minority-major communities (whites make up less than 50% of the population). Your fault, you are trash, trash, paranoid. What are their grand plans? By 2050, landfills will emit 52% methane, which means closing the landfill and letting you rot your own waste. Therefore, the racist speech of our ruling class…
Transcript: In a small city in Rome, New York, a seven-story apartment building called Colonial 2 has been home to low-income seniors for decades. Just a few years ago, this was in desperate need of updates. However, recent renovations have transformed buildings into some of the state's most vulnerable housing. It has highly insulated walls and windows. It is heated and cooled by a geothermal heat pump, and its power source comes from solar energy. Wisse: “Some of it comes from on-site solar PV production. Some of it comes from … community solar. But the goal is to offset all…
