Our economic models are wrong. The mother of all crashes is coming. — We have all heard of the devastation climate change will ravage on our planet. From catastrophic sea level rises, extensive crop failures, persistent deadly heatwaves, calamitous droughts, regular recurring potent extreme weather and even more frequent pandemics. And that is even with our current climate legislation in place, if we…

A Western cost-effective and ecological solution for mass energy storage. — Battery technology might not be that sexy. Indeed, whenever I try to talk to people about how vital they are, I see their eyes gloss over, despite how fundamentally it will change their lives. They are the linchpin of our plans to save the planet, from EVs to colossal grid-level…

The reality of 2.9 degrees of climate change is harrowing. — A recent UN report has found that we are on course for 2.9 degrees Celsius of global warming by the end of the century. This figure shouldn’t come as a surprise, as several highly regarded studies have all independently come up with the same figure. However, the timing of this…

Let’s put it into context because the reasons behind this conflict are murkier than you might think. — It goes without saying that the situation in Gaza and Israel is dire. The horrific scenes of October 7th have deeply scared the Israeli people and their supporters.

Was the recent launch a failure or a success? — Last Saturday, at 7 am, thousands of people gathered at Boca Chica and started expectantly into the early morning sky to witness history. The world’s largest-ever rocket, SpaceX’s Starship, was set to reattempt an orbital space flight after its previous catastrophic failure in April. Hopes were high that this time…

This is what happens when you don’t represent your voters. — The Republican Party isn’t known for its deep care of the environment. In recent times, it’s more known for its blind free-market ideology, post-thruthisms, anti-science rhetoric and cosying up to extreme right-wing Christians. As Trump has shown, this dogmatic approach can work. But, its effectiveness is waning, as a recent…

The US and EU have strengthened their international racketeering program. — It is painfully apparent who is responsible for climate change. The paper trail is crystal clear. But these people are not the ones who will pay the highest price for our climate crimes. Instead, the poorest people who contributed the least to climate change will. This inequitable situation has been…

This is why I call it a self-made apocalypse. — Hamas’s attack on Israel and Israel’s recent reaction against Palestine has put genocide back in the mainstream. Whether it is pro-Israelis drawing attention to the horrors of the holocaust to legitimise Israel’s actions or pro-Palestinians pointing to the effective ethnic cleansing currently happening in Gaza, which many experts characterise as…

Chinese emissions could peak this year! — China is the climate elephant in the room. It is responsible for 29.2% of the world’s annual emissions, giving it the unwanted title of the most polluting nation on Earth. Not only that, it emits more than twice the emissions of the number two spot held by the USA. If…
