WASHINGTON—American industry rebounded last month as the United States recovered from an unusually frigid February. Industrial production—including output at factories, mines and utilities—rose 1.4 percent in March, reversing a 2.6 percent drop in February, the Federal Reserve reported Thursday. The increase was about half the surge economists had expected as federal aid flows into the […]
Hurricane Delta, gaining strength as it bears down on the U.S. Gulf Coast, is the latest and nastiest in a recent flurry of rapidly intensifying Atlantic hurricanes. Earlier, before hitting Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and temporarily losing strength, Delta set a record for going from a 35 mph (56 kph) unnamed tropical depression to a monstrous […]
A senior UN environmental official once told the Associated Press that governments have a ten-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control. When was the article written? 1989. In the decades that followed, many more people have predicted doom if the world does not adequately address climate change. […]
John Coleman, the American broadcaster who founded The Weather Channel in 1981, died at the age of 83. Coleman died at his home in Las Vegas on Saturday, Jan. 20, his wife, Linda Coleman, told KUSI-TV. He was the first weatherman on ABC’s Good Morning America. He was also a weatherman on KUSI News in […]
The massive iceberg that broke off of the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica, sounds alarming, but it doesn’t mean Antarctica is falling apart. The iceberg is comparatively small; its detachment won’t have any catastrophic consequence; and is not connected to climate change. It is a natural process of ice that builds up on the ice […]
Electric vehicles of all types gathered in Zurich, Switzerland. Electric cars, trucks, bikes, and almost unclassifiable vehicles joined a rally to fight global warming. The World Advanced Vehicle Expedition is in its seventh edition. The vehicles will travel 995 miles in 8 days. Vehicle charging stations will be available along the route. Most of the […]
A massive, 46-meter (150-foot) iceberg is visible from a small town in eastern Canada. The ice block is attracting tourists and shutterbugs to Ferryland, Newfoundland. Since the iceberg’s first appearance, it has broken apart; but it only drifted slightly and does not seem to be leaving anytime soon.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Scientists have witnessed the first modern case of what they call “river piracy” and they blame global warming. Most of the water gushing from a large glacier in northwest Canada last year suddenly switched from one river to another. That changed the Slims River from a 10-foot (3 meters) deep, raging river to something […]
These scientists are drilling in Oman’s al-Hajar mountain range, in search of a solution to climate change. The geologists have been looking to reduce greenhouse gases by pulling carbon out of the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is the primary greenhouse gas driving climate change. CO2 levels have risen since the Industrial Revolution and are not […]
In a ceremony at the Environmental Protection Agency, flanked by coal miners, President Donald Trump announced his latest executive order: a review of the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era program to lower emissions of greenhouse gasses from coal-fired power plants, along with a review half-a-dozen other clean-energy regulations signed by President Obama.. Trump said he […]
A vast iceberg, expected to be one of the biggest ever recorded with an area twice the size of Wales or the Caribbean island state of Trinidad and Tobago, is poised to break off Antarctica. A rift, slowly developing across the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula in recent years, expanded abruptly in […]
