Now that it is clear that the global warming goals of the Paris Agreement are not feasible, one question is whether humans can create ways to adapt to extreme weather. The answer is How much worse will global warming get? Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Climate will ruin coffee and chocolate.
The cold air from the polar vortex could keep Europe and the US cold for most of the winter. This means higher energy prices during a period when inflation is already a challenge. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief and Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Climate killing chocolate and coffee.
Some participants at COP30 believe that solar and wind growth may be slower than expected in some nations. However, the cost of providing these is dropping. If it becomes low enough, adoption will rise. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Climate change killing off chocolate and coffee.
Yet another city is trying to block the building of an AI data center. Data center construction has hit a brick wall in an increasing number of locations.
