In many places, the heat waves of summer have begun, with record high temperatures making spring pass by in a flash. Around the corner are large storms, which clear out the air and sun but also more than that, often taking homes and life with them. What does the rapidly warming ocean waters mean in this calculus? Quite a lot.
How far can that invasive airborne coronavirus that shut down much of the world travel? Further, perhaps, if it latches onto some particulates.
A new study explores the environmental, social, and economic costs of different sources of base metals used in the world’s transition away from fossil fuels. The while paper is entitled Where Should Metals for the Green Transition Come From?
A new paper has emerged with fresh data from NASA providing a visual of Antarctica’s rapidly melting ice.
A new report, Building A Sustainable Electric Vehicle Battery Supply Chain: Frequently Asked Questions, offers a lot of insight and data on key EV battery supply chain questions.
Note: Republishing this story below from the World Resources Institute on water and efforts to contain and diminish the coronavirus death toll, I draw on a film that is unrelated to this particular viral infection. I add a suggestion — if you have time to watch not only the trailer, enjoy the whole film.
Some things make strong imprints on the mind. I treasure the 5 hour lectures and classes with Dr. Michael Buonanno that involved watching films of Dr. Jane Goodall’s tenacity, longevity, brilliant endurance, and comprehensive study of the natural world through a knowledgeable lens and a wealth of anthropological background.
How much do diverse EVs vary based on the weather? The Norwegian Automobile Federation answers that question for 20 EVs.
Confirming what you might have sensed, it is not simply you sweating more than expected (or enjoying spring in the North when it is generally winter) — indeed, the whole planet is sweating, as February 2020 ranked as the second-hottest February in the 141-year global climate record, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.
We all tend to live in our own circle, our own world to some degree. Some of us are up to date on the transition to EVs and what is truly available, and some are missing that information. Thanks to CALSTART, there’s now a great new tool for finding out what is presently available in e-mobility.
