A crucial shift in rhetoric from the superpower is deeply worrying. — We are rapidly approaching the Dubai COP28 summit, and there is anticipation that something massive could happen. A growing movement is calling for a fossil fuel phase-out plan to be signed at COP28 to ensure we will actually meet our goal of limiting climate change to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Hopes…

And it could cause a climate and a financial catastrophe. — Here’s a question: Do you think we are doing enough to save the planet? After all, everyone seems to be buying Teslas, and solar and wind farms are starting to crop up everywhere. Well, the simple answer is no, we aren’t doing enough. But the blame for that doesn’t lie…

Emphasis on the nearly, though. — Elon Musk’s pride and joy is the 394-foot-tall SpaceX Starship rocket. This behemoth promises to open up the stars to humanity and even help us reach Mars. But, its first attempt at an orbital launch on national marijuana day this year didn’t go to plan. In fact, it was such…

Eco-friendly with a high-energy density and cheap. What’s not to love? — For humanity to kick its fossil fuel addiction once and for all and save this beautiful planet from ourselves, we need batteries. Lots and lots of batteries. But we have a bit of a problem. You see, our current battery technology of choice, lithium-ion batteries, isn’t perfect. While they are…

And what lessons can we learn from it? — 2023 has been the year of insane weather. The oceans have boiled, heatwaves spread from pole to pole, wildfires have raged like never before, and biblically powerful storms have battered much of humanity. In fact, over the past months, ten countries have experienced intense floods, including Hong Kong, much of…

We need to brace ourselves. — 2023 has been a wild year. The COVID-19 pandemic seems to have fizzled out (though its damage is still very much here), NFTs are now near worthless, Russia is still trying to relive its Soviet days, AI is now the latest fad, and the world has baked under extreme heat…

You’d think they would have learnt their lesson from Nordstream, but nope! — The EU has done some commendable work trying to get on track to save the planet from our self-made apocalypse. They no longer directly fund fossil fuel extraction, are a significant player in international climate talks and tax those that pollute the environment. But sadly, it turns out that tens…

Sunak is a “climate radical,” the world should learn from his mistakes. — You might think of Britain as a leader in the eco-movement. Solar farms are becoming increasingly common in its quaint countryside, its coastline is filling up with wind turbines, and it is one of the few countries investing in new nuclear power. In fact, the country loudly exclaimed it was…

And it could save Earth’s largest ecosystem. — In theory, deep-sea mining is a brilliant idea. You see, reaching net-zero will take a massive supply of hard-to-find materials like nickel and cobalt. These are essential for the batteries and magnets that make EVs and renewable power grids possible. But, mining and refining these materials has a plethora of…
