NVIDIA, the world’s largest AI chip company, has entered the AI weather forecasting market. This happens just as the number of violent weather events worldwide rises. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief, Climatecrisis247 explains.
NOAA has decided to begin a project using AI for forecasts. The early results indicate it will change the sector forever — for the better. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
There are battles across the nation over whether AI data centers are good for the environment. Of course, they can bring jobs. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
AI data centers are creating electricity problems in some parts of the country. These places are spread out, which shows that supply is a problem from coast to coast. Data center builders have some problems. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
In some states there percentage of people who don’t believe in climate change is high. This usually goes along with conservative politics. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Google has an advanced AI project that significantly improves weather forecasting. It comes just as climate change creates more storms. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
The US population barely grew last year, according to the Census. In the next two years, there could be negative growth, based on trends. It is too early to tell, but few people taking up energy and polluting could be good for the environment long term. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains.
It appeared that the grid in the Northeast would buckle under the electricity need during a period when temperatures plunged. It held up despite many experts’ belief that it would fail. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
The US grid is old. It is also strained by the need for electricity from AI data centers and AC. One solution, which has already begun, is to allow people to power their homes with devices such as portable solar panels. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatercrisis247, explains
A new study indicates that the number of people experiencing food insecurity due to climate change could triple by 2100. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Geothermal energy has started to replace coal and natural gas. It is abundant in some parts of the world, which could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
When the weather turned very cold earlier this month, wind energy helped keep the electricity on in New England. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief at Climatecrisis247, explains.
In the UK, towns are burying Christmas trees along the coastline to prevent flooding. If it works, it is worth remembering that millions of Christmas trees are thrown out in the US every year. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
Demand for EVs dropped when the government stopped its $7,500 tax credit. People who thought this make EVs too expensive moved to used models. That is undermining the sale of new cars. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains.
The oceans have millions of tons of plastics in them. A new problem is that these are moving swiftly from one place to another. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains.
A new science paper says, “Earth’s climate is now departing from the stable conditions that supported human civilization for millennia.” This means climate change may have reached a point of no return. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains
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.
EV sales in North America dropped by over 30% from December to January. The emissions rules for cars have been canceled, which means gas-powered cars are no longer regulated at all. That hurts the transition to EVs. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
