Batteries are hot right now—like really, really hot. Long-lasting, durable, and lightweight storage devices will be an essential part of the global energy transition, yet the tendency of lithium-ion cells to catch fire and explode is only one issue with our most ubiquitous battery technology. A pile of other problems—long charging times, limited life between charges, vulnerability to heat and cold, and the risks around the supply chain of critical metals—has led investors and governments on a...
Researchers have pinpointed climate change as a critical factor that is likely to exacerbate inflation worldwide.
A new study suggests that the agriculture industry's battle with rising global temperatures could drive food prices even higher.
With its new global campaign, Levi’s reminds consumers of its heritage as a democratic brand that has been at the forefront of progressive, fashion and cultural movements over its 170-year history. In “The Floor Is Yours,” from new agency partner TBWA\Chiat\Day, a young woman and her friends lounge in a room until she sees a dance performance on television. The sight of the dancers jolts her from her seat and inspires her to literally move the floor and the room (with the help of slick VFX)....
Global average sea level rose by about 0.3 inches (0.76 centimeters) from 2022 to 2023 -- nearly four times the increase of the previous year -- NASA said Thursday, attributing the "significant jump" to a strong El Nino and a warming climate. The NASA-led analysis is based on more than
Climate change is 'off the charts' and presents a 'defining challenge' to humanity, a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns.
I love meat. Not the frozen crap you get today at most grocery stores that have been thawed out and mangled by someone who doesn't know how to cut it. I'm talking about the aged, marbled, prime beef that I used to get at my local butcher shop in the 1980s and '90s. Grill it, roast it, fry it, or boil it. Any way you prepare it is a slice of heaven.
Melting ice is slowing the Earth's rotation, affecting how time is calculated, a new study says.
Struggle to wrap your head around daylight savings? Spare a thought for the world's timekeepers, who are trying to work out how climate change is affecting Earth's rotation—and in turn, how we keep track of time.
You’re not alone when it comes to understanding the language of climate change and what different words and phrases mean. There are a lot of terms brands and companies can use that can greenwash consumers into thinking they’re making climate pledges or cutting down their emissions when they might not be. Greenwashing in itself is when brands mislead or misinform consumers into thinking they’ve got an environmentally friendly public image when they might be selling a very harmful product but use...

Climate zealots do not want solutions to the problems they claim are going to kill us all. They just want control of your everyday life, from the car you drive to the food you eat. Harvard University is no longer continuing its solar geoengineering research experiment. The gist of solar geoengineering is that spraying particles […]
