Today’s ESG Updates Marine Biodiesel Hits Record Low, Undercuts Fossil Fuels: A surprising price reversal in Rotterdam is making biofuels cheaper than most conventional shipping fuels, potentially accelerating the industry’s shift away from fossil fuels. Poorest Tropical Regions Will Be Last to Benefit From Net Zero, Study Finds: New research shows warming inequality between rich
Today’s ESG Updates Ocean Competition to Solve Climate Change: By 2050, emerging marine carbon removal techniques might extract an additional eight billion tonnes a year, turning the sea into a far larger climate ally. UK AI Hardware Plan: With the AI chip market projected to hit $1 trillion by the early 2030s, calculations indicate that
The pitch for AI data centres in space faces a vast amount of challenges, despite its great potential. Permits are slow, carbon emissions from rocket launches can be huge, and cooling systems must be adapted to the vacuum. All of these arguments are valid, but — as Kevin Roose recently noted on the Hard Fork
Recent days have seen a dramatic escalation of tensions on NATO’s eastern flank, with two member states invoking Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty in response to separate incursions by Russian military aircraft. In the night between September 9 and 10, Russia sent 19 drones over the sky in Poland, in a brazen act
The next time you’re on a flight worrying about destroying the planet, rest easy knowing that at least you’re not in a fighter jet. The airline industry is responsible for 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, but the world’s militaries are responsible for more than double that, at 5.5%. When nations boost military budgets, they also
Nearly 70 years after the Supersonic Transport Aircraft Committee formed and began investigating the potential of supersonic jets, a new wave of designs is emerging; will the models-in-the-making today ensure or impede the aspirations for sustainable aviation? Earlier this year, American Boom Supersonic’s experimental jet XB-1 broke the sound barrier, reaching the speed of Mach
In some of the driest areas of the world, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google operate data centers that use large amounts of water. A recent investigation by The Guardian newspaper and SourceMaterial found that the tech giants are planning to expand their data centers across the United States and abroad, potentially impacting already water-scarce areas. As
Europe is watching closely as the US presidential election approaches. Since Donald Trump’s nomination as the Republican candidate, there has been growing talk of the need to “Trump-proof” Europe and transatlantic institutions. As in 2020, Europe is wary of a return to the pre-Biden era of US antagonism. The “Old Continent” faces a daunting list of
According to the report, the first in what is to be an annual assessment on the planet’s wellbeing, Earth is in “critical condition.” Scientists at PBScience outlined how out of the nine metrics that they call “planetary boundary processes,” six have reached high-risk levels: freshwater change, land system change, climate change, modification of biogeochemical flows,
I don’t know about you, but I am always setting forth to carry out ethical resolutions based on my personal values and, well, not quite making it. Long ago, I adopted Stoic Philosopher Marcus Aurelius’s advice to reason out two or three brief “rules of life” and then (try to) live by them. Here’s a
On June 10, the daytime temperature in Phoenix, Arizona, touched 45 degrees Celsius. Addressing voters there that day, Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump was reportedly indifferent to the heat-related exhaustion some of his supporters suffered as he dismissed wind turbines and electric vehicles as part of what he calls a “Green New Scam.” Clearly, Trump was
This summer, as if out of nowhere, what seemed a sure path to a Democratic win in November’s presidential election has suddenly been undermined by the entire liberal media – TV pundits, pollsters, and even moderate newspapers like the New York Times and The Washington Post- challenging Joe Biden’s candidacy because of one poor debate
