Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
Of the separate actions we modelled, the greatest contribution to health improvement was from home energy efficiency measures, such as wall and loft insulation (over 800,000 life years gained by 2050), assuming that adequate ventilation requirements are met.
Sadly, fusion won’t save the Arctic from melting, but if we don’t put a stop to it, that breakthrough technology could someday melt us all.

On this episode, petroleum geologist Arthur Berman returns to unpack the development and drawbacks of ‘peak oil’.
I live in South Louisiana on the front lines of the climate crisis and cover the fossil fuel industry and impacts related to the warming planet, so facing gaslighting is a regular occurrence for me.
An important new study that came out a few minutes ago makes painfully clear precisely how much (and precisely how precisely) Exxon understood climate change, back in the days when it could have made a huge difference if they’d simply been honest.
If it is unusual in the rest of the privileged world to even consider power usage, maybe Vermonters should start training folks in how to live with an increasingly expensive and feeble grid.
