The Gulf of Mexico’s water temperature has reached 86 degrees, a phenomenon that is fueling wild weather events such as the current Category 5-plus Hurricane Milton. More violent and frequent storms in the region are due to the Gulf having warmed at twice the rate of other large bodies of water since 1970, raising concerns…

As demonstrated by superstrong Hurricanes Milton and Helene, hurricane season is far from over. With its official end on November 30, the global warming-fueled weather woes have ramped up again as superheated Gulf waters, currently at 86 degrees, are revving up these powerful weather systems, a trend that could extend past the official end date.

Antarctica, long too cold for human habitation, is warming up enough that some believe it could become livable in the future. While this highlights the dangers of rising sea levels and environmental damage, it also presents a potential solution for climate migration. As some areas of the world, such as India, become uninhabitable due to…

China’s BYD, the world’s biggest EV manufacturer, has just introduced a $10,000 electric auto, the Seagull, a move that poses a big threat to American and European car manufacturers. At present, 100% tariffs are preventing the modestly priced model, which has garnered rave reviews, from entering the U.S. market; however, given its price, it would…

Powerful Hurricane Milton, which just grew to a Category 4 storm, is expected to hit Florida, putting the Orlando area and Walt Disney World. With around 160,000 daily visitors, the park could severely damaged, potentially leading to closures for days or even weeks. Disney has never faced a hurricane of this magnitude, and the company…

As winter approaches, electric vehicles face significant challenges, especially those being driven in cold climates. That’s because batteries in EVs hold less charge in freezing temperatures, reducing their range and slowing charging times, adding to concerns such as limited range, charging infrastructure, and higher maintenance costs. Meanwhile, the auto industry is moving slowly on a…

Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall near Tampa, Fla., an area already devastated by Hurricane Helene. With the ground saturated and parts of the city and surrounding still underwater, the whirling weather system is expected to bring severe storm surges, wind damage and heavy rain, with the devastation to an already vulnerable region expected…

Saudi Arabia is considering dropping oil prices to $50 per barrel, potentially leading to lower gas prices, cheaper heating oil and reduced inflation. However, this could result in increased fossil fuel use and a decline in the adoption of electric vehicles, leading to negative environmental impacts. In other words, while Americans and others around the…

Energy sector layoffs have risen by more than 360% in 2024, with green energy mainstays like solar and wind taking the hardest hit. This surge is attributed to difficulties in securing financing for renewable projects due to low oil and coal prices, making these ventures less profitable. The trend is expected to continue.

Layoffs in the utility industry have skyrocketed by 691% in 2024, largely due to automation in energy generation, with robots and automated systems increasingly taking over jobs. Additionally, as fossil fuels are phased out and green energy utilities are built with modern technology, fewer workers are required. This trend is expected to continue, with the…

San Francisco is experiencing an unusual fall heatwave, with temperatures surpassing 90 degrees and nearby areas reaching over 100 degrees. This shift is due to a change in wind patterns, with hot air from inland California being pushed toward the coast. Climate change is playing a role in this phenomenon, as inland droughts and rising…

Tesla is preparing to launch a $25,000 EV, a move which will help lower the high price average of electric cars and make them more accessible to consumers. At the same time, Tesla has discontinued its current $35,000 Model 3, which is hampered by higher U.S. tariffs on Chinese parts, including the Model 3’s battery….

Net zero pollution goals may come with the risk economic collapse, with a transition away from key industries like gasoline-powered cars, coal and other dirty industries possibly leading to mass unemployment, some economists say. In addition, there is the issue of insufficient infrastructure in place, particularly in the form of flexible grid networks, for renewable…

Tropical Storm Leslie is possibly headed toward the U.S., and as it crosses the warmed-up waters of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, there’s potential for it to strengthen into a hurricane, forecasters says. Leslie could either impact cities on the East Coast or veer out to sea, posing no significant threat. Keep an eye…

In a development that has the American auto industry raising eyebrows, Toyota has delayed plans to build EVs in the U.S., citing weak sales, a move that highlights the challenges automakers face as they navigate a slower-than-expected electric vehicle market. The Japanese giant, the world’s largest carmaker — often a cautious operator — seems to…
