Siberia is experiencing record high temperatures that are nearly 40 degrees Fahrenheit above average. To put things in perspective, The Washington Post writes that some areas are hotter than Washington right now. Snow cover is disappearing, sea ice is melting, and in 2020 fashion, we now have "zombie blazes"

Parts of the world are already too hot for humans thanks to climate change. In a new article by NewScientist, I learned of a different way of taking your temperature. It's called "wet-bulb temperature" (TW), and it measures the heat and humidity taken from a thermometer covered in a water-soaked cloth. If the temperature is higher than 35 degrees Celsius or 95 degrees Fahrenheit TW, the body is unable to cool itself by sweating

Heat pump water heaters? That's right — that was the most popular topic of the week last week on CleanTechnica. Surprised me. It's not even a Tesla product! In fact, Tesla was only in the title of 7 stories, which would be great for any other company, but is below Tesla's average

Climate change is an existential threat to humanity. We are on a trajectory to destroying a livable climate. This has been modeled, we know why it's happening, how it works, and how to fight it. We also have the technology to defeat it. And bonus, that technology is cost effective

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
