A new study shows that pollution events at appear to be very local can affect entire cities. But will cities and communities act on this new knowledge? Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains

A new weather forecasting system claims to be 40,000 times faster than current models. It is a sign of the effect of AI on older technologies and may make the US safer. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains

The world’s forests are being destroyed at an unexpected pace. They are critical to the global climate system, and as they shrink, they affect global warming. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

As Trump backs away from climate initiatives, one place hurt is cities that have been hit by violent weather. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

There are one billion barrels of oil sitting on tankers. This means an oversupply. This means more burdening of fossil fuels as supply explodes. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of ClimateCrisis247, explains.

Cruise ships pour millions of gallons of sewage into the ocean. Their engines emit fossil fuels. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

If the AI bubble bursts, the need for electricity and fossil fuels will drop. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecris247, explains.

Trump has walked away from climate change. That leaves China, India, and Brazil to take their place. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains

Venice, which is mostly underwater already, is sinking fast because of floods from climate change. It is very much like Miami and New Orleans. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief of Climatecrisis247 explains

If most AI products are free, AI companies will never make a profit. If they never make a profit, they have too many server farms. If they have too many server farms, they don’t need much electricity. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

AI server farms require significant energy. That means a mix of nuclear, fossil fuels, and renewables. Some utilities already have AI deals, and the stock market has rewarded them with huge price gains. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright is an oilman who makes his money drilling. The Trump Administration may be more pro-fossil fuels than any in history. It is an example of how the administration controls fossil fuels and renewable energy. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

The average price for a gallon of regular nationwide is $2.99. Two and a half years ago, it hit an all-time high of $5.01. One problem with cheap gas is that EVs look less attractive. They cost more to buy than gas-powered cars, and gas-powered car don’t costs much to run now. And, gas and…

It’s 111 degrees in part of Australia today. It’s early summer there, and it is not supposed to be that hot. It suggests what temperatures in the US could be like as early as May. High temperatures mean more AC use, which requires more electricity, which in turn means more fossil fuels. Douglas A. McIntyre,…

It’s 90 degrees in Houston. Scientists say that summer is getting longer, at least as measured by temperatures. And that means more AC, which means more energy, which means more fossil fuels. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

There aren’t supposed to be tornadoes this time of year. Tornado season ended months ago. The Gulf of Mexico has such warm water that it has completely changed the way storms form. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

The NOAA forecasts that much of the US will be colder than normal. This means more use of heating oil, natural gas, and electricity. Use of those harms the environment, the way AC does in the summer. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247 discusses.

AI demand may be completely wrong. If so, a number of companies are raising funds for demand that will never appear. In most of these cases, too many products are free to make money. In others, as AI companies shop for utilities to help them, these utilities may see supply demand that is not there….

AI data center growth is driven by a new industry that will eventually generate billions in profits. That would need to happen to pay off the massive investments in chips and electricity. Many people will use AI applications, but few may pay for them. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.

While much of the federal government is shut, the departments that help oil and cola companies are open. So are the departments that are shutting down green energy. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief and Climatecrisis247, explains
