Solar energy researchers are shining their scientific spotlight on materials with a crystal structure discovered nearly two centuries ago.
Are New Extreme Global Warming Projections Correct? – EcoWatch
By Jeff Berardelli For the past year, some of the most up-to-date computer models from the world’s top climate modeling groups have been “running hot” – projecting that global warming may be even more extreme than earlier thought. Data from…

Global e-waste surging: Up 21% in 5 years
(Terry Collins Assoc) The UN’s 3rd Global eWaste Monitor reports 53.6 million metric tonnes (Mt) of e-waste was produced last year — substantially more than the weight of all adults in Europe. Global e-waste has risen 21% by weight in just five years, fueled by higher consumption rates of electric and electronic equipment, short life cycles, and few repair options. In 2030 the world is projected to produce about 50% more e-waste per capita compared with 2014.
Climate change threat to tropical plants
(University of New South Wales) Half of the world’s tropical plant species may struggle to germinate by 2070 because of global warming, a new UNSW study predicts.
Recent global warming has wiped out 6,500 years of cooling, study says – USA TODAY
“Before global warming, there was global cooling.” Since the mid-19th century, global warming has climbed about 1 degree Celsius. “Our future climate will largely depend on the influence of human factors.” Over the past 150 years, human-caused global warming has…
