Ted Lieu To The Rescue! Heroic Climate Champion Saves Community Choice Aggregation.

Creative Greenius

You go to climate battle with the Ted Lieu you have, not the Ted Lieu you wished you had. Rocke’s in Hermosa Beach where I had gone to get away from it all and rock out to Jimmy Vaughan and his band. Suddenly we were at The Crossroads as Ted Lieu runs for Henry Waxman’s seat in the United States Congress. And I get that.

Berkeley researchers propose salted biomass as scalable, economical and stable carbon capture and storage solution

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, are proposing burying salted biomass in a dry environment within an engineered biolandfill as a solution to sequester carbon that has been photosynthetically fixed by cultivated plants. We’re claiming that proper engineering can solve 100% of the climate crisis, at manageable cost.

Study finds that steady reduction in fossil fuel emissions will not result in short-term warming spike

Green Car Congress

One view advanced in some studies attempting to model future climate is that cleaning up fossil-fuel air pollution rapidly will unintentionally lead to a near-term rise in atmospheric warming of about a half-degree Celsius, which might take up to a century to reverse. Smith, research fellow at the School of Earth and Environment at Leeds.

MAN eTGE battery-electric van to be mass-produced from July onwards

Green Car Congress

For around ten years, MAN Truck & Bus has been working on innovative concepts for supplying and removing material in the urban environment. This problem involves developing ideas for reducing traffic at specific times and relocating it out of the city altogether, new approaches to the use of land, plus new transport and drive concepts.

Greenius Says The Congresswoman Gets It. Harman Calls Lack of Bold or Binding Agreement to Cap GHG Emissions in Copenhagen, “Stunning.”

Creative Greenius

When our South Bay 350 Climate Action Group asked for Congresswoman Jane Harman’s help with our October 24, International Day of Climate Action we got it. I’ve also been pounding away about the climate fate of the vulnerable small island states and sea level rise for many months now. Thank you Congresswoman Harman.

Testing solar radiation management as a geoengineering technique

Green Car Congress

Solar radiation management (SRM) is one of the geoengineering techniques proposed as a potential means of offsetting some of the anthropogenic radiative forcing of climate as a means to reduce climate change. Contrary to some claims, they note, this could provide meaningful tests of the climate’s response to SRM within a decade.
