(The most important carbon capture tax and cash pay incentive in the world has been upheld by the current U.S. administration and in some cases enhanced. Annually 61 million tons of CO2 are captured and safely stored, a drop in the bucket but Rome was not built in a day. The U.S. carbon capture incentive…
Telltale for the New IMO Ship’s Fuel Regulations Causing Significant Warming Since 2023: Atmospheric Nitrogen Oxide Emissions There has been a 67% reduction in ships’ cloud-altering abilities after the International Maritime Organization’s ship’s fuel regulations limiting sulfur went into effect. Sulfur is a natural component of fossil fuels that when burned creates air pollution responsible…

Findings since mid-May reveal new and more serious insight into tipping threshold crossing of the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets, Antarctic sea ice, ocean acidification, and tropical and boreal forests. The 30 percent warming jump in 2023 and 2024 is crucial to understanding the extreme risks of our current and rapidly accelerating climate trajectory. But…
Record flooding on Onion Creek, Austin, October 2013 Advanced Rainfall Science in a Warming Climate Hydrology is one of our advanced culture’s most important engineering design areas because so much of our lives depend on not being flooded out, or having our streets flood or roofs collapse from excess rainfall. Hydrology is the study of…
NOAA Research in the Stratosphere is Taking Off March 3, 2023, NOAA (Article updated April 2024: The year 2023 experienced a remarkably unprecedented jump in global temperature that has now exceeded the dangerous 1.5 Degrees C threshold. (See here) Enduring this amount of warming for long, likely no more than a couple to several decades,…
