With wind and solar prices dropping, it can be easy to forget that two-thirds of the globe’s renewable energy comes from hydropower. They help stop floods and supply farms and families with water, but they’re not generating electricity—especially in developing countries. So too are their counterparts in Western Africa.

Here’s How We Could Brighten Clouds to Cool the Earth Geoengineering—altering the planet to mitigate the worst effects of climate change—is an idea that has taken on new currency of late. This time around, though, the emphasis is on “green hydrogen”—that is, hydrogen produced using clean energy such as solar or wind power.

From a presentation given by Faith Birol, Executive Director, International Energy Agency, on hydrogen’s role in tackling energy and climate challenges. Green hydrogen generated by water electrolysis, a process that takes place without CO 2 emissions, has the advantage of being able to use the existing capillary gas infrastructure.

Southern Cities See Record Temperatures, Little Water. Buckled train tracks and sagging power lines interrupted much of the city’s passenger train service, and residents were advised to conserve water. We’ve seen blackouts, disruptions to many of our transport systems, greater water consumption and of course, more sleepless nights.”

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.

A team of researchers led by Brown University has found that Lake Tanganyika in east Africa—the second-oldest and the second-deepest lake in the world—has experienced unprecedented warming in the last century. An estimated 10 million people live near the lake, and they depend upon it for drinking water and for food.
