The researchers concluded that models of climate change may be underestimating how much water is likely to run off the land and back into the sea as atmospheric chemistry changes. Either way, water resource managers need more accurate runoff estimates to plan better for the changes. Credit: NASA. Click to enlarge.

Many of you also mentioned how EVs are greener because they don’t pollute with tailpipe emissions. of Energy to Yale and MIT , that EVs are better for the environment from cradle to grave.) Eliminating vehicle emissions results in improved air quality, which means better health outcomes and a slowing of climate change.

As the world’s most widely manufactured material, concrete—and especially the cement within it—is also a major contributor to climate change, accounting for around 6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Concrete is not just a major ingredient in data centers and the power plants being built to energize them.

Researchers at MIT have determined that growth in aviation causes twice as much damage to air quality as to the climate. Aviation emissions are an increasingly significant contributor to anthropogenic climate change. They cause five per cent of global climate forcing. —Dr Eastham.

The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history.
