A huge AI data center will be built outside Detroit. It will actually be one of the world’s largest. It could power 750,000 homes. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: The dying American EV
Areas of Alaska, set aside as protected federal land, will be open to oil drilling. This is like an early decision to open federal land to coal mining. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: American EV is dying.
New data show that the pace of global warming could slow in the next decade. However, temperatures are still rising rapidly enough to pose significant threats to humanity. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains. More video: America’s dying EV.
The Trump Administration is helping the AI industry in any way it can. Among the reasons is that leaders in the industry have provided other administrative plans with funding. The new approach means that issues with energy use are also skipped. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: America’s dying EVs.
Google is reopening a very old nuclear power plant because it can’t find enough new electricity. Microsoft already did the same with Three Mile Island. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: America’s dying EVs.
There had been a hope that solar energy would begin to replace fossil fuels. However, global energy demands are so high that solar can’t keep up. That means a return to coal. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: The dying American EV.
A new science would allow people to grow more food on less land. It involves improving the quality of soil by recycling and using it in a measured manner. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More vidoe: The dying American EV
Renewables were supposed to fuel America’s energy growth. Global environmental officials hope the same thing will happen worldwide. However, as the US turns more toward coal, the entire world’s desire to stop global warming has waned, Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: American EVs are dying.
The UN had hoped, in 2015, that solar and wind would replace coal. The world was moving in that direction until the need for energy spiked, Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief of Climatecrisis explains. More video: American EV is dying.
GM has laid off about 3,400 people from its EV operations. It is part of a pattern among car companies. Now that the $7,500 EV tax credit has expired, so have EV sales. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Heat kills 550,000 people.
Hurricane Melissa has caused $8 billion in damage after hitting Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas. The figure actually seems low by the standard of US hurricane damage. That is because American structures cost more to build. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Heat causes 550,000 deaths.
Several companies, including Nvidia, claim that new AI data centers can be built to use less electricity when residential users need more. It’s too early to tell if it works. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief at Climatecrisis247, discusses. More video: Heat kills 550,000 people
Inside Climate News reports that millions of deaths from climate change could be avoided. The public’s interest in climate issues is rising. Many governments, however, have reversed their climate goals. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, discusses. More video: Heat causes 550,000 climate deaths.
As people think about leaving LA and Florida because of the climate, older cities in the north seem attractive. They have temperate weather and low home prices. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Heat kills 550,000 people worldwide.
Climate change makes places like LA and Florida dangerous. If so, moving north may be the answer. One of he places with a good climate and cheap houses is Detroit. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Heat causes 550,000 deaths worldwide.
A new technology would significantly reduce the electricity needed by AI chips. However, it hasn’t been tested enough to prove the claim. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: heat causes 550,000 deaths worldwide.
Meta, Google, and Microsoft are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on data centers. This means a need for a massive amount of electricity. That means residential rates will rise. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Heat kills 550,000 a year.
Electricity prices aren’t just going up because of data centers. Some states have better access to abundant energy than others do. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief at Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Heat kills 550,000 people worldwide.
Electricity use by AI data centers shouldn’t be blamed for massive energy use, or at least not entirely. Repairing an aging grid is very expensive for utilities. Douglas A McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: heat kills 550,000 worldwide.
A new study shows that billionaires have huge carbon footprints. They account for far more carbon emissions than the world’s poor. However, they don’t seem ready to change their habits. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains. More video: Heat kills 550,000
A new study published in The Lancet medical journal shows that heat kills 550,000 people worldwide. And, the number is up significantly over the last three decades: Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 reports. More video: Oil supplies surge to a record.
