Electric Cars: What’s Driving the Transition?

Posted on March 26, 2019 by climatechangefork

In the last two blogs I tried to show that without a parallel effort to decarbonize the power sources of electricity generators, our efforts to promote electric car fleets mean little in the scheme of progress against climate change. So—why … Continue reading →

Electric Cars, Power Sources, and Truth in Advertising

Posted on March 12, 2019 by climatechangefork

Close to three weeks ago (February 24th), I watched a 60 Minutes segment on electric car production in China. I was impressed with the Chinese efforts to promote the transition, including waiving the high tax on license plates in Shanghai … Continue reading →

Expanding Environmental Impact Statements

Posted on March 5, 2019 by climatechangefork

I use the cartoon above to teach my students one of the most fundamental tenets of physics, unimaginatively called the “Second Law of Thermodynamics.” A quick Google search will tell you that thermodynamics is, “the branch of physics that … Continue reading →

To Make America Great Again, Please Stand Tall

Posted on February 26, 2019 by climatechangefork

I interpret standing tall as holding your head up and meeting oncoming challenges rather than burying it in a pile of sand to avoid reality (see the October 16, 2018 post on ostrich myths and the American government’s deliberate obtuseness … Continue reading →

The Green New Deal Resolution: Is it Viable?

Posted on February 19, 2019 by climatechangefork

The “Green New Deal” that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass, have proposed has became the talk of the town. People are alternately warning it could spell disaster and praising it as our potential saving grace. To … Continue reading →

Permafrost in Danger

Posted on January 29, 2019 by climatechangefork
