PSI team develops web tool for consumers to compare environmental impact of passenger cars in detail

Green Car Congress

The system will graph lifecycle impact for a range of specified powertrains, for a large number of impact categories: Climate change [kg CO 2 -eq.]. Eutrophication of non-marine aquatic environments [kg N-eq.]. Eutrophication of non-marine aquatic environments [kg P-eq.]. Noise emissions [Person-Pascal/second].

US to use AI to track the impact of offshore wind on endangered whales

Baua Electric

Two US environmental agencies say they will start using AI to better monitor the impact of offshore wind farms on marine animals, particularly endangered North American right whales, of which there are only about 360 left in the world. The biggest threat, of course, is climate change. Get started here.

Studies Find Ocean Acidification Will Have Significant Effect on Key Marine Organisms

Green Car Congress

Researchers in the Laboratoire d'Océanographie at Villefranche (LOV) (CNRS / UPMC) have demonstrated that key marine organisms, such as deep-water corals and pteropods (shelled pelagic mollusks) will be significantly affected by ocean acidification caused by anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions during the years to come.

Perspective: Why Carbon Emissions Should Not Have Been the Focus of the UN Climate Change Summit and Why the 15th Conference of the Parties Should Have Focused on Technology Transfer

Green Car Congress

Oceans, already expanding from warmth and melting glaciers, would rise, increasing coastal flooding; a chain reaction of climate changes is projected to lead to harsher, more widespread droughts and more powerful storms. Reductions in Emissions. Lomborg says.
