Ehh up t‘old lad! Agree wi thee comment bein from upt north me sen :)

DDT got a bad wrap mainly because of that book, but the truth is had they been using it in malaria stricken area of Africa and elsewhere millions upon millions of lives could have been saved.

Look at the actual plan - it assumes that by 2025, all large scale waterborne freight transport, including ocean-faring ships and port operations, are fully electric (or electrolytic hydrogen) based. It’s a pipe dream of what could theoretically be done if we had infinite resources, infinite money and infinite will.…

“Electric cars. Nuclear power (to transition to better solar, wind).”

This article’s been up for an hour and there’s already been the usual contrarian posters, who skip past the article and go straight to the comments ready to prove people wrong.

Ok Gizmodo, I give up... I’m out. This used to be a Technology Blog but now is indistinguishable from parent Gawker. When you run more global warming articles than actually technology articles, when do you just call it like it is and say you’re a global warming blog? No wonder you guys don’t get invited to product…

I object to combining nuclear with fossil fuels in this chart.

To fix the climate issue or any other issues, we need to take money out of politics. Money is not speech, corporations are not human.

Aye. Unless there’s an absolute breakthrough in energy storage technology, renewable power will never provide more than about 20% of the planet’s energy needs. Supply versus demand mismatches become more and more problematic as renewables’ penetration increases, with power generation equipment spending ever greater…

What’s with your constant first-grader fingerpointing drama, if you’re goin’ to quote someone’s comment then at least face them head on like a grown up.

So, we shouldn’t believe NASA when they say that the Antarctic Ice Sheet is gaining ice volume? http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddar…

Or how about the National Sea Ice organization where it said we are very close to the record ever Ice Coverage in Antarctica from last year?

Not often humid here but I do not enjoy it at all when it is. My local heat reference data revolves around my summer vegetables crops. In the 1980’s I’d plant my tomatoes and they’d pop up, happy with whatever the sun threw at them. Now I have to hide them under constructions of white shade cloth for days at a time to…
