The more cryptocurrency mining operations across the United States, the greater the strain on the electrical grid that serves the nation. And with the proliferation of digital mining, the greater the threat to our declining climate unless these power plants can be fueled by non-fossil fuel energy sources.

This episode explores the interaction between rising sea levels and the hydrodynamic forces which affect coastal buildings. Our guest is Ricardo Alvarez, an internationally acclaimed expert and consultant who focuses on the performance of the built environment in the context of vulnerability to natural hazards such as hurricanes. Recorded on 11.12.22, this interview is especially important for architects, engineers, city planners, legislators, and condominium board members.

The convergence of a warming climate and intense weather has impacts on many dimensions of society. Resilience means much more than just engineering, architecture and physics, it also includes strategies to adapt emergency management and public health to help in the aftermath of disasters which are linked to a warming world. 

This Climate Monitor episode focuses on a new and exciting potential solution...mobile charging centers that can be quickly deployed to areas which suffer unexpected power outages including hurricane impacted areas, tornado-stricken communities and whole towns scorched by wildfires. 

Welcome to a bi-directional reality.

Power blackouts, extreme heat waves…the feedback loop of higher dependence on air conditioning leading to the production of more greenhouse gas emissions…all are significant challenges in fire-ravaged California.

In this episode of Climate Monitor, we feature an August 25, 2020 report by Kieran Cooke, of the Climate News Network in London. He takes us inside the promise of rapidly expanding large-scale battery storage of solar power, a solution which may soon start making a real difference in the lives of Californians.

Just about everyone understands the importance of trees, and many increasingly wonder how long our Planet can sustain massive deforestation. Not enough focus, however, has taken place on what to do when we try to re-forest areas where humans have cut down massive populations of trees.

Trees, nature’s carbon-absorbing mini-factories, work tirelessly at taking carbon dioxide from the air. Every tree counts. So does what we do to create methods to regenerate damaged forests.

In 2018, California alone lost 18 million trees, according to a Vox.com on February 15, 2019. The data for that report was collected by the U.S. Forest Service. That’s just a small sample of what is happening worldwide.

On June 2, 2020, the World Resources Institute reported we lost a football patch of primary rainforest every 6 seconds in the year 2019.

In this report from the Climate News Network on August 20, 2020, journalist Tim Radford reveals it is not just allowing forests to grow back, but how we manage the regeneration of forests that can help in a significant way in the battle against Carbon Dioxide.
