The eastern part of the United States is expected to experience everything from extreme drought to enormous hurricanes in the near future as a result of climate change, a new study from the University of Tennessee confirms. “Joshua Fu, a civil and environmental engineering professor, and Yang Gao, a graduate research assistant, developed precise scales […]
The Earth’s magnetic field, or magnetosphere, protects life down on the surface from excess radiation (in the form of high-energy particles and waves) that originate from the solar wind. But this protection is not full-proof. A recent study based upon observations from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Cluster satellite mission shows that our magnetosphere experiences
At Solar Power International (SPI) 2012, Hanwha Solar, a leading manufacturer of silicon ingots and photovoltaic panels introduced a new range of solar products specially designed to deliver flexibility with energy storage, better module designs to provide high energy output, and cost reduction through Epi thin-film technology. The products were launched in partnership with

Similar to the recently discovered Higgs Boson, gravitational waves are very difficult to observe. They were first detected only in an indirect way, as ripples in the fabric of space-time by using radio signals from a pulsar-neutron star binary system. It now a team of researchers has been able to detect the “same effect at

by Dr. Joe Romm of Climate Progress (repost) “Climate dice,” describing the chance of unusually warm or cool seasons relative to climatology, have become progressively “loaded” in the past 30 years, coincident with rapid global warming. The distribution of seasonal mean temperature anomalies has shifted toward higher temperatures and the range of anomalies has increased. An
by WWF Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – At the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) held in Abu Dhabi this week, WWF Director General Jim Leape called for agencies, governments and industry to proactively collaborate in transitioning towards a sustainable energy future on a global level, flagging up WWF’s vision of a world powered by 100% renewable

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), in a letter to Chu, said the public’s understanding of climate change is “diminishing” in part because there are “powerful vested interests in the oil and coal industries successfully fanning disbelief.”

Surf’s up big time on the Sun, or just above the sun, in this case. Seems like NASA’s high resolution Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has caught conclusive evidence of classic “surfer waves” in the solar atmosphere — looking just like the kind in the opening sequence of ‘Hawaii Five-O’.

Greenpeace, as I wrote two days ago, is not at all comfortable with oil companies drilling in the Arctic (and who could be!)… and to show their disapproval, they had a polar bear blocking the headquarters to Cairn Energy (the only company looking to drill for oil in the Arctic this year) yesterday morning and they have two ships shadowing the Cairn Energy oil rig in the Arctic (which is protected by a Danish warship).
