Chicago ranked 2nd for worst air pollution in 2023 among major US cities, global report says
Chicago ranked second among major U.S. cities with the worst air pollution in 2023, its average annual concentration of dangerous fine particulate matter almost three times global guidelines, according to a recent report. Even as national standards have tightened, pollution levels in the city still surpassed old regulations. At one point last summer, Chicago had…
Scientists Suggest Dehydrating a Layer of Earth’s Atmosphere to Fight Global Warming
A new climate intervention strategy aims to decrease the amount of water vapor in the stratosphere by injecting it with ice-forming nuclei. The idea is that, by reducing the water content, more heat in the form of infrared radiation would leak out into space. Scientists described the strategy a study published Wednesday in Science Advances….
Global Boiling Update: Biden’s Transgender Assistant HHS Secretary Rachel Levine Claims Climate Change Disproportionately Affects Black Communities’ Health (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft
During Black History Month, Admiral Richard “Rachel” Levine, the Transgender Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) appointed by Joe Biden, made a ridiculous claim linking climate change to racial disparities in health. In a video statement, Levine highlighted the impact of climate change on the physical and mental well-being of…
Japan to launch world’s first wooden satellite to combat space pollution
Japanese scientists have created one of the world’s most unusual spacecraft – a tiny satellite that is made of timber. The LignoSat probe has been built of magnolia wood, which, in experiments carried out on the International Space Station (ISS), was found to be particularly stable and resistant to cracking. Now plans are being finalised…
Global Warming: Observations vs. Climate Models
Average warming of the climate system over the past five decades has been widely attributed to greenhouse gas emissions—primarily carbon dioxide (CO 2 )—from the burning of fossil fuels. This belief has led to calls for greatly reducing humanity’s reliance on such fuels and a transition to “renewable” energy sources such as wind power and…
‘Cooling glass’ could fight climate change by reflecting solar radiation back into space
‘Cooling glass’ could fight climate change by reflecting solar radiation back into space The new paint effectively uses space as a heat sink. As the world continues to experience a worsening climate crisis with record-breaking temperatures, scientists have developed a new, highly reflective glass coating that may help cool a rapidly warming Earth. In theory,…
Scientists warn Earth warming faster than expected — due to reduction in ship pollution | CBC News
The past five months have shattered global temperature records, taking scientists by surprise. Many are asking why. A , led by renowned U.S. climate scientist James Hansen, suggests one of the main drivers has been an unintentional global geoengineering experiment: the reduction of ship tracks. As commercial ships move across the ocean, they emit exhaust that includes sulfur. This can…
The UN Discusses Darkening The Skies to Combat Climate Change
Will Bill Gates succeed with his new plan? A new report from the UN was just published. It proposes and discusses ways to cool our planet by restricting sunlight and darkening our skies. What is this about? Why block sunlight, of all things? Let me explain. The UN is worried about climate change. As the efforts to reduce…
The ozone layer’s recovery is good news for climate change, too – The Washington Post
Restoring it is key for human health, food security and the planet. UV-B radiation causes cancer and eye damage in humans. It also damages plants, inhibiting their growth and curbing their ability to store planet-warming carbon dioxide. “Ozone action sets a precedent for climate action,” World Meteorological Organization Secretary General Petteri Taalas said in a…
