Nestled in the southern part of Los Angeles County, Viet’s residence sits on a steep slope that has become a cause for concern due to the threat of landslides, particularly during heavy rainstorms. The atmospheric river storms that battered Los Angeles in early February have led to extensive damage, triggering high-volume flash floods and landslides, […]
Reforestation in the eastern United States has been instrumental in counteracting the effects of climate change, specifically by reducing the rising temperatures associated with it. An extensive reforestation project, initiated in the 1920s, has sprawled across an area larger than England and has been driven by urban migration and a government tree-planting program. Interestingly, this […]
Using clean and affordable geothermal energy, researchers have recently developed an innovative method for capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This new system, known as Direct Air CO2 Capture with CO2 Utilization and Storage (DACCUS), leverages Earth’s natural heat to power Direct Air Carbon Dioxide Capture Technologies (DACC) systems, introducing a novel approach to tackling […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Greenhouse effect. It is not an anomaly or a deviation from the natural order of things; rather, it is an integral part of the environmental processes that make the Earth habitable. This natural process warms the Earth and makes it conducive for life to thrive. However, human activities, particularly […]
Hawaii’s Democrat Governor, Josh Green, has put forth a proposal for a $25 “climate impact fee” to be levied on tourists in a bid to combat climate change and preserve the state’s environment. This proposed fee, if approved, could potentially generate an estimated $68 million in annual revenue. This substantial revenue would be dedicated towards […]
In the subtropical climate of Houston, the longevity and durability of roofs can be significantly influenced. This is why the choice of roofing material becomes essential, not only for aesthetic purposes but also for withstanding the unique weather conditions of Houston. Roofing materials such as metal and slate are particularly optimal for hot, humid climates […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Microgrids, emerged as a game-changer in the field of renewable energy, proving themselves to be flexible and efficient. These networks are capable of operating both dependently and independently from larger utility grids, providing a nimble and adaptable energy solution. Their flexibility is combined with an ability to harness renewable […]
The Super Bowl, one of the most celebrated sporting events worldwide, has come under scrutiny due to its significant contribution to carbon emissions. Astonishingly, this contribution is primarily due to advertising rather than the direct energy use or travel associated with the event itself. To put it into perspective, the global football industry emits over […]
Chicago, known for its harsh winters, has been experiencing unusually high temperatures this season. While the city is often synonymous with heavy snowfall and biting cold, this February has seen consistent daily temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or more. Adding to this anomaly, the city has also gone 27 days without measurable snowfall, an event […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights the Energy Transition, a crucial process that is currently underway across the globe. This transformative journey involves shifting our emphasis from traditional fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, a move that is essential to minimize carbon emissions. The process is far from easy, but it is necessary to ensure the […]
