Projected extreme temperatures under climate change are predicted to reduce average yields for several of the United States’ major crops. These changes in productivity would drive farmers to change crops and move into new areas. Farmers are particularly exposed to the problems of climate change.

Fortunately, we still have a narrow window of opportunity to alter the Earth’s climate path, and I believe we can do it. Climate change is a global societal crisis that is causing devastating consequences. Deforestation is contributing to climate change. IoT food container tags can reduce food and water waste.

A study published in Nature Climate Change suggests that thermoelectric power plants (i.e., nuclear and fossil-fueled generating units) in Europe and the United States are vulnerable to climate change due to the combined impacts of lower summer river flows and higher river water temperatures.

The initial focus will be on three climate change science drivers and corresponding questions to be answered during the project’s initial phase: Water Cycle: How do the hydrological cycle and water resources interact with the climate system on local to global scales?

Using a new kind of hydrogel material, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have pulled water out of thin air at temperatures low enough to be achieved with sunlight. Atmospheric water harvesting draws water from humidity in the air. The material is a hydrogel, a polymer network that naturally retains a lot of water.
