What diary hijackers don't understand about the seven most dangerous things from climate change.

Most people have a general idea of what climate change is doing to the planet; after all, 85% of the world's population has already been impacted by fossil fuel emissions that transform our climate from safe and stable to chaotic and deadly. Most, however, have no understanding of how serious the...

Japan has made a new building material from waste concrete and CO2 – could reduce emissions by 7%

There are still years to decades to go in perfecting the material for widespread use, but this is good news nonetheless.  If you have ever seen piles of concrete debris from demolished homes and buildings and wondered if those concrete chunks of rubble could ever be recycled somehow, we now have...

This is remarkable. Ivanka tweets some gobbledygook about how daddy has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 10 percent last year.  This is a lie; the emissions drop she references is not from 2019, but 2020. Sneaky she is. And the drop in emissions is due to daddy’s ineptitude in dealing...
