A climate supercomputer run by the National Center for Atmospheric Research is used by 4,000 scientists and forecasters. It has been operated by a single organization for years. Will its new stewards allow it to continue to operate as it has in the past? Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

Toyota has long argued that people would rather have hybrids than EVs. However, they have launched a EV version of one of their most popular SUVs–the Highlander. It’s an unexpected move. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

The depreciation on used Teslas is very high compared to other cars and is falling by over 50%. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief at Climatecrisis247, explains

The world’s largest banks, and those in the US, were active funders of green projects. Trade with China is uncertain, and Trump is openly hostile to wind and solar. Lending it too big a risk, Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

Global EV sales dropped 44% in January compared to December. Even Tesla cannot swim against that tide Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains.

While China is putting more and more green energy online, its use of fossil fuels has kept it well ahead of the world in emissions. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

As Trump rolls back pollution regulations and withdraws from global green agreements, other nations are following suit. As this grows, hope for the environment drops. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains
