Ford Motor Company is the first automaker and one of several companies taking a leadership position in joining the Water Disclosure Project , which will establish a water disclosure protocol for companies around the world and promote conservation and stewardship. For the past decade, Ford has made it a priority to conserve water.
NOAA has awarded $750,000 for the first year of an anticipated $3 million research investment to develop the information and tools needed to plan for sea level rise and other consequences of climatechange along more than 300 miles of the northern Gulf of Mexico’s shoreline. The study team, led by Scott Hagen, Ph.D.,
The smartest scientists on the face of the planet, the ones studying climatechange and global warming, are mad as hell and they’re not going to take it any more. But the scientists now know that we’re NOT going to save our children from that hell and high water that’s coming their way.
The Colorado River Basin encompasses much of the American West, covering parts of seven US states and two states in Mexico. It may not sound like a phenomenally large amount except the water and the river is already over-allocated. Population growth in the Southwest is putting added pressure on regional water resources.
—Leo Johnson, Partner, Sustainability and ClimateChange, PwC. —Jonathan Grant, director, sustainability and climatechange, PwC. The pace of reducing global carbon intensity has been slow despite growing international focus on climatechange. nuclear war, radical climatechange before 2050).
In the wake of the ongoing Deepwater Horizon incident in the Gulf of Mexico, UK Energy Secretary Chris Huhne said that the UK Government will increase its inspection of drilling rigs and monitoring of offshore compliance and has asked a new oil industry group to report back on its findings on the UK’s ability to prevent and respond to oil spills.
That’s three times the amount estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on ClimateChange (IPCC). This is especially the case for those draining nitrogen-enriched urbanized and agricultural watersheds, highlighting the importance of managing nitrogen before it reaches open water.
water and electricity to produce higher-energy carbon-based products and a co-product of pure oxygen. in addition to Opus 12, they are: WILDCOAST (Imperial Beach, California) is working to secure a resilient coastline to help protect communities, economies and ecosystems from climatechange impacts in the Gulf of California.
trillion in 2010) would be required to overcome poverty; increase food production to eradicate hunger without degrading land and water resources; and avert the climatechange catastrophe. The reports estimates that incremental green investment of about 3% of world gross product (WGP) (about $1.9 A global “Top Runner Program”.
Also certain fields in the Gulf of Mexico and the Middle East have comparable GHG emissions. —“The Other environmental footprint concerns associated with oil sands development touched on by the IHS CERA report include water use; land disturbance and reclamation; and tailings. The Role of Canadian Oil Sands in US Oil Supply”.
Monsanto Company and BASF scientists have discovered a naturally-occurring gene that can help corn plants combat drought conditions and confer yield stability during periods of inadequate water supplies. In corn, cspB works by helping the plant maintain growth and development during times of inadequate water supply.
Most accepted carbon transactions in the world today occur based on standards that originated from the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on ClimateChange. Texas Parks and Wildlife; the Texas Coastal Exchange; the New Mexico Department of Agriculture; GSI Environmental Inc.;
Significantly to reduce the CO 2 intensity and water use of its manufacturing operations. At the Suzuka Factory, they solved this problem by developing a new paint specifically for the middle coat that allows a conventional water-based base coat to be applied wet-on-wet after a short pre-drying period. Earlier post.).
It comes from natural sources that continuously regenerate, such as sunlight, wind, water (in motion), and geothermal. With the increasing threat of climatechange, renewable energy has slowly but surely regained is prominence. Renewables Using the Earth’s Water & Heat. power generation. Renewables & EV Charging.
In addition to helping the nation meet ambitious carbon-neutral goals, the development and implementation of the proposed technology can help reduce the cost of and emissions from hydrogen production to mitigate the effects of climatechange while creating new jobs and revitalizing our economy.
Florida legislature is about to ban offshore wind turbines in state waters, which wouldn’t be put there to begin with, to protect the beaches. It’s about to pass HB 1645 , which will ban wind turbines in state waters. Maine banned wind farms in its state waters in 2021 to “preserve state waters for recreation and fishing.”
As the world’s most widely manufactured material, concrete—and especially the cement within it—is also a major contributor to climatechange, accounting for around 6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Then add water, to trigger a chemical reaction with the cement. Let sit as it cures into a rock-solid mass.
Other environmental concerns have pushed ahead of climatechange on a global average basis. Three out of four global consumers rated air pollution (77%) and water pollution (75%) as top concerns, both increasing six percentage points compared to 2009. Source: Nielsen. Click to enlarge.

Markey of Massachusetts, both Democrats, built their climatechange bill last year in large measure around it. As Senators Graham, Kerry and Lieberman try to resuscitate the climatechange bill by introducing a revised bill in mid-to-late April, twenty-three U.S. Western Climate Initiative (WCI). Another six U.S.
Importantly, climatechange helped this storm break these records and do so much damage. These records are the reflection of climatechange’s effects on our atmosphere and oceans. Only 4% of media’s Beryl coverage included mention of climatechange, according to an analysis by Media Matters.
But if you watch US media, you’d barely know that the true culprit behind Helene’s record-breaking strength is us – the climatechange that we humans caused by burning fossil fuels. But one thing that is well-understood is that a warmer atmosphere, and warmer water, means stronger storms. Video from CSU/CIRA & NOAA.
However very few studies include water use impacts. Nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a potent greenhouse gas, is formed as a byproduct of bacterial processing of nitrogen in soils, sediments, and waters. In their paper on the impact of ethanol production on nutrient cycles and water quality, Simpson et al. Ravindranath et al.
Even on land, getting oil from tar sands depletes water and other resources and doubles oil’s carbon footprint. That’s too long to wait to improve energy security, protect our economy, and address climatechange. Tuesday night, President Obama will speak to the nation about the Gulf catastrophe. More about that in a moment.
The development of these genetic resources will enable scientists to identify genes that contribute to a number of traits that are essential to develop efficient biomass production including increased stress tolerance, water and nitrogen use efficiency and biomass production. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Gilbert, Jack.
On the other hand, the PHEV can use the existing electric distribution and gasoline dispensing systems with minor or no change. Furthermore, even the older version PHEV can recharge at a slow rate using local solar, wind, water-derived or other net zero CO 2 fuel. More often, however, we are filling a bucket or a glass of water.
People were really interested in clean air and clean water, so I decided there would always be interest in the environment,” Crawford says. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ’s satellites over extended areas of North America and the Gulf of Mexico. She switched her major to civil and environmental engineering.

Δ Clean Air and Global ClimateChange. Clean and Safe Water. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. All major program activities face about 34% in cuts. Program and Financing (millions of dollars).
Ironically, Governor Abbott targeted renewable energy just as The New York Times was writing that Texas’ grid trouble is a sign of disruption to come as climatechange induces more and more extreme weather events.
