A team of 26 climate scientists from Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States have published the “Copenhagen Diagnosis”, an interim synthesis report on developments in climate change science from mid-2006 to the present day.
Our relationship started about a month ago when we spent an evening together carpooling to a UCLA workshop on communication climate change that we both participated in. I began our interview by asking Lillian about the early days of EPN which she helped found in 2001. What was your environmental priority in 2001 and what is it today?
°F) over the next 50 years, while extreme weather events will also become more frequent, according to the largest river basin climate vulnerability assessment yet done. Extreme climate events such as storms and drought disasters will increase as climate change continues to alter our planet. to 2 °C (2.7
A study published earlier this year in the journal Nature Climate Change that cast doubt on whether biofuels produced from corn residue could meet federal mandates for cellulosic biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% compared to gasoline ( earlier post ) has drawn critical response published as correspondence in the same journal.
I contributed the following to the World Wildlife Climate Witness site last week and it was published this morning. Meanwhile our long term drought, now its its third year with no end in sight, means less available water to fight the fires with. c) 2009 by Joe Galliani - This afternoon's view from my studio's patio.
—Leo Johnson, Partner, Sustainability and Climate Change, PwC. Resilience will become a watch word in the boardroom—to policy responses as well as to the climate. —Jonathan Grant, director, sustainability and climate change, PwC. nuclear war, radical climate change before 2050). —PwC report.
The research grew out of two coring expeditions sponsored by the Nyanza Project in 2001 and 2004. An estimated 10 million people live near the lake, and they depend upon it for drinking water and for food. As the lake gets warmer, we expect productivity to decline, and we expect that it will affect the [fishing] industry.
Volkswagen only managed to create significantly positive Sustainable Value in 2001, 2002 and 2007. Ford has also languished in negative territory from 2001 onwards, and only temporarily showed signs of recovery in 2004 and 2005 (although still not managing to create positive Sustainable Value).

The insured losses, around US$60 billion, were also nearly five times greater than the average since 2001. Munich Re and climate change. The extreme series of severe weather events can largely be explained by the La Niña climate phenomenon, said Munich Re. There was also widespread ground deformation.
Change in annual linear snow cover from 1990 to 2001. However, these observations are too incomplete to be used in climate models.) “ We may be underestimating the amount of black carbon by as much as a factor of four ,” Menon says. Black carbon alone contributes at least 30% of this sum. Menon et al. Click to enlarge.
The ATP retort has lower water requirements than previous surface retort designs, and can also utilize fine particles, thus reducing shale waste. To put these figures in perspective, emissions from all sectors in the state of Colorado equaled 24 million t of carbon in 2001. Refining of upgraded shale oil. Credit: ACS. Click to enlarge.
Addressing key global environmental issues such as climate change, water shortages, resource depletion, and degradation of biodiversity, the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 aims to reduce the negative impact of manufacturing and driving vehicles as much as possible.
Using corn crop residue to make ethanol and other biofuels reduces soil carbon and under some conditions can generate more greenhouse gases than gasoline, according to a major, multi-year study by a University of Nebraska-Lincoln team of researchers published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Changes in SOC. Pelton, Xiao X.
And what’s working for the Greenius and Mrs. Greenius will work for the rest of America, even the little brain people who aren’t sure if climate change is man-made or not and probably even the Stepford brainwashed pod people who think Al Gore is a bad man. And that kind of vision makes us powerful.
As the climate change crisis goes from bad to worse (while the deniers get nuttier and more cult-like with each passing day) and Australia gives Californians an advanced sneak preview at what is without a doubt headed our way sooner than you expect , your Creative Greenius has only gotten more Fired Up, Ready to Go! The Greenius in Yosemite.
Jeff first rephotographed these Uinta sites in 2001. Over the intervening 131 years, the climate had warmed. When I asked Jeff, before our trip, about why he planned to rephotograph these sites again just 23 years later, he explained that the pace of climate-driven changes is accelerating. Lightning rips through the woods.
The researchers began by comparing behavioral models of the three vehicles with trip information from the 2001 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) of US travel behavior, conducted by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Your hot water heater will probably use more energy than an E-REV that travels 10K miles per year.”
Volvo had proposed an early version of the Crankshaft-Integrated Starter Generator (C-ISG) in 2001; that 42V system was intended for a mild hybrid application. The water-cooled C-ISG has three functions: the starter; a generator to keep charging the battery; and power boost under certain conditions. Click to enlarge.
Although most countries have already revealed their opening emissions reduction proposals, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer pointed out Thursday that “ we still await clarity from industrialized nations on the provision of large-scale finance to developing countries for immediate and long-term climate action. by Jack Rosebro.
As we’ve noted before , a lower-power version of it was published back in 2001, specifying charging hardware interface and coupler system. The SAE standard for this is called J1772. version, with cell phones and mobile devices.
These days, his main technical interests surround energy, water, and climate change. Wortman People most respected Intel Corp. founders Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, Intel chief executive officer Andrew Grove Favorite restaurants Postrio and Bella Voce in San Francisco, Beausejour in Los Altos, Calif.
The dispute has contributed to a significant split among the primary bloc of developing countries, and has highlighted an increased focus on climate adaptation strategies, in addition to emissions reductions, during the talks. ºF) above pre-industrial temperatures.
We need more aggressive cuts in emissions to get us anywhere near the pathways that limit the worst impacts of climate change. Brian Dahle – (916) 319-2001 – [link]. Low income and communities of color are and continue to be the most impacted by climate chaos. SB 100 (De Leon) – California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program.
People were really interested in clean air and clean water, so I decided there would always be interest in the environment,” Crawford says. People were really interested in clean air and clean water, so I decided there would always be interest in the environment.” In 2001 she realized her goal of working on a satellite mission.
Finally, I was doing something that could really make a dent in climate change. “I’ve had solar hot water since 1985 and solar electric since 1990,” he says. “I haven’t paid for electricity for my house or my EV since 2001,” he says. And with the solar panels, I was driving on sunshine. .
Scientists hoped to confirm the past existence of water on the surface of Mars. Sojourner did discover rounded pebbles that suggested running water, and later missions confirmed it. For a while, it was slated to be part of the Mars 2001 set of missions, but that didnt happen. In all, the mission collected 1.2
