Scaling Properties of COVID-19

Posted on May 5, 2020 by climatechangefork

Saturday was a beautiful spring day. The Brooklyn green market downstairs was open. The street and the market were relatively (in the pandemic era) crowded; well managed social distancing was enforced but many people went without masks. The talk of … Continue reading →

Electricity in Developing Countries: Biomass and Availability

Posted on November 19, 2019 by climatechangefork

I have been following a set of fifteen countries over the past month (starting on October 15th). Together, they make up approximately 65% of the global population. I split them into three groups, based on income. The largest of these … Continue reading →

Carbon Footprints and Carbon Intensity: a Summary

Posted on November 12, 2019 by climatechangefork

Last week I strayed a bit from my series about the markers of our global energy transition, in which I have examined 15 populous countries in three income groups. When possible, I have used data from the World Bank. This … Continue reading →

Coal Intensity & Coal Consumption

Posted on October 30, 2019 by climatechangefork

Today I am continuing my series (which started October 15th) examining the early signs of the global energy transition. In the previous two blogs my emphasis was on use of primary energy and electricity. This week, I’m looking at coal … Continue reading →

Primary Energy: What Fraction Do We Use for Electricity Production?

Posted on October 22, 2019 by climatechangefork

Last week I looked at changes in electricity use (from 2000-2014), as a fraction of primary energy use, specifically as an early indicator of the energy transition to a more sustainable mix. I paid special attention to a group of … Continue reading →

The Shift to Electricity: Mitigation and Adaptation on a National Level

Posted on October 15, 2019 by climatechangefork

My last series of blogs concentrated on Germany’s energy transition. Since the country’s reunification in 1990, there has been a major increase in electricity and decrease in primary energy use, which paralleled a similar growth in sustainable energy sources such … Continue reading →

Heat Wave

Posted on July 3, 2018 by climatechangefork

My school’s academic year is over and the summer break has started in full swing. Usually I take this time for a vacation and some new research initiatives. It is not surprising that I have far more flexibility now than … Continue reading →

Vulnerabilities: Water Stress

Posted on May 1, 2018 by climatechangefork

Figure 1 in last week’s blog listed key impacts of climate change as a function of increasing global temperature relative to the average temperature between 1980 and 1999. Based on NASA measurements (Figure 2 in the same blog), we have … Continue reading →

Vulnerabilities: Local Environmental Displacements

Posted on April 10, 2018 by climatechangefork

Last week’s blog looked at one of the biggest vulnerabilities that anthropogenic climate change has already produced: the dislocation of people from land that is no longer inhabitable. The dislocated people either try to move to safer locations within their … Continue reading →
