Cryptocurrency mining and the greenhouse gas challenge

The more cryptocurrency mining operations across the United States, the greater the strain on the electrical grid that serves the nation. And with the proliferation of digital mining, the greater the threat to our declining climate unless these power plants can be fueled by non-fossil fuel energy sources.

Bidirectional Mobile Charging Vehicles For Use In Disaster Recovery Efforts

The convergence of a warming climate and intense weather has impacts on many dimensions of society. Resilience means much more than just engineering, architecture and physics, it also includes strategies to adapt emergency management and public health to help in the aftermath of disasters which are linked to a warming world.  This Climate Monitor episode focuses on a new and exciting potential solution...mobile charging centers that can be quickly deployed to areas which suffer unexpected power outages including hurricane impacted areas, tornado-stricken communities and whole towns scorched by wildfires.  Welcome to a bi-directional reality.

How we manage the regrowth of destroyed forests can make a huge dent in capturing Carbon Dioxide

JUST ABOUT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF TREES, AND MANY INCREASINGLY WONDER HOW LONG OUR PLANET CAN SUSTAIN MASSIVE DEFORESTATION. NOT ENOUGH FOCUS, HOWEVER, HAS TAKEN PLACE ON WHAT TO DO WHEN WE TRY TO RE-FOREST AREAS WHERE HUMANS HAVE CUT DOWN MASSIVE POPULATIONS OF TREES. TREES, NATURE’S CARBON-ABSORBING MINI-FACTORIES, WORK TIRELESSLY AT TAKING CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE AIR. EVERY TREE COUNTS. SO DOES WHAT WE DO TO CREATE METHODS TO REGENERATE DAMAGED FORESTS. IN 2018, CALIFORNIA ALONE LOST 18 MILLION TREES, ACCORDING TO A VOX.COM ON FEBRUARY 15, 2019. THE DATA FOR THAT REPORT WAS COLLECTED BY THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE. THAT’S JUST A SMALL SAMPLE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WORLDWIDE. ON JUNE 2, 2020, THE WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE REPORTED WE LOST A FOOTBALL PATCH OF PRIMARY RAINFOREST EVERY 6 SECONDS IN THE YEAR 2019. IN THIS REPORT FROM THE CLIMATE NEWS NETWORK https://www.climatenewsnetwork.net ON AUGUST 20, 2020, JOURNALIST TIM RADFORD REVEALS IT IS NOT JUST ALLOWING FORESTS TO GROW BACK, BUT HOW WE MANAGE THE REGENERATION OF FORESTS THAT CAN HELP IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY IN THE BATTLE AGAINST CARBON DIOXIDE.

Global offshore wind industry takes huge strides

IN 2009, AL GORE, WRITING IN HIS BOOK “OUR CHOICE,” PRESENTED AN OPTIMISTIC VISION OF WIND POWER, AND HOW IT CAN BE HARNESSED IN THE RACE TO SAVE US FROM THE DEGRADING EFFECTS OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. MR. GORE EXPLAINED THAT WIND FARMS, WITH MULTIPLE WINDMILLS, CAN BE ADDED ON A SCALABLE BASIS. HE DESCRIBED HOW WINDMILLS CAN BE BUILT, AND INSTALLED, WITHIN 2 MONTHS. WITH LOW MAINTENANCE AND LONG DURABILITY, A COMPELLING CASE WAS MADE FOR WIND ENERGY, ESPECIALLY OCEAN-BASED WIND TURBINES, WHERE WINDS ARE USUALLY STRONGER THAN ON LAND. IN THIS EPISODE OF CLIMATE MONITOR, WE PRESENT A REPORT ENTITLED, GLOBAL OFFSHORE WIND INDUSTRY TAKES HUGE STRIDES, BY PAUL BROWN OF THE CLIMATE NEWS NETWORK.

A Majestic Energy Dream That May Actually Emerge Within a Few Years

ONE OF THE MOST MAJESTIC TECHNOLOGICAL DREAMS OF MODERN CIVILIZATION IS CREATING AN UNLIMITED AND COMPLETELY CLEAN SOURCE OF SAFE ENERGY. THE VISION DATES BACK TO 1924, WHEN A BRITISH PHYSICIST, SIR ARTHUR EDDINGTON, THOUGHT THAT NUCLEAR FUSION WAS THE KEY TO THE SUN’S POWER. IN THE GROUNDBREAKING BOOK ENTITLED “DRAWDOWN, THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE PLAN EVER PROPOSED TO REVERSE GLOBAL WARMING,” WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN 2017, AND EDITED BY PAUL HAWKEN, THE AUTHORS STATE THIS VISION “SET OFF ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE SCIENTIFIC QUESTS IN HISTORY: CREATING THE POWER OF A STAR WITH A FUSION REACTOR. NOW COMES NEWS OF A POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH. AND, SURPRISINGLY, IT INVOLVES UNIQUE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION. IN THIS JULY 29, 2020 REPORT FROM VETERAN JOURNALIST PAUL BROWN, OF THE CLIMATE NEWS NETWORK WE LEARN THAT ALMOST 100 YEARS AFTER SIR ARTHUR’S REALIZATION, WE MAY, JUST MAY, BE ENTERING THE FIRST DIMENSION OF A REVOLUTION…UNLIMITED, CLEAN, AND SAFE, ENERGY…ALL OF WHICH CAN BATTLE THE GROWING VIRAL EFFECTS OF A DEGRADING CLIMATE BECAUSE OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. WHETHER ALL OF THIS WORKS DEPENDS UPON A COMBINATION OF OTHER RENEWABLE ENERGY STRATEGIES, COUPLED WITH NUCLEAR FUSION. BUT IF IT DOES WORK, THE DEDICATED LABORS OF SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS COULD PRODUCE A MUCH BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR EARTH. WE MAY KNOW WITHIN THIS DECADE.

The Most Powerful Dissent...Juliana v. United States

On January 17, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a long-anticipated decision in the case known at The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon in 2015. One would be very hard pressed to find any other case that has been fought so bitterly by the federal government. The history of this litigation is historic itself, and shows the ferocity of government against the steadfast, common sense, legally justified and scientifically honest attempts by the Plaintiffs to save their future, and yours. In this episode of Climate Monitor, we amplify the voice of Judge Josephine L. Staton, who's powerful words of warning should be respected by all.  RESOURCES: Childrens' Trust: https://www.ourchildrenstrust.org/juliana-v-us January 17, 2020 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Decision: http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2020/01/17/18-36082.pdf Narrated by Mitch Chester.

10,000 Camels and Human Delay

The effects and consequences of an altered climate can be surprising and starkly brutal. Too often humans worry about their own futures and give little thought to how animals cope with an increasingly threatened planet. Sure, those that pay attention hear about species extinction, but rarely do we actually listen to the stark reality of heat, greenhouse gases and drought like in the report we will share shortly in this podcast.

Carbon Farming: Harnessing the Power of the Earth

Before John Wick was the co-founder of the Marin Carbon Project, he was just trying to find a way to get rid of weeds on his ranch when he stumbled upon a powerful climate change solution. Then he learned about an approach to farming helps sequester carbon in the soil, and could be a major solution in the fight against climate change. The following presentation entitled Carbon Farming: Harnessing the Power of the Earth was produced by The Years Project. For insightful and timely video reports on Climate Change, please visit TheYearsProject.com /theyearsproject.com.  Carbon Farming: Harnessing The Power of Soil was produced by the Years Project.
