Temperatures are warming across the globe - and here in South Carolina things are no different. This chart shows which seasons have warmed the most in the last 50 years. Winter is warming the most - more than 3 degrees…

Springs are getting warmer all over the globe. And the same is true right here in the Midlands. This chart shows the average temperature in spring in Columbia since 1970. You can see that the average temperature has increased by…

Scientists have long discussed a theory that roughly 65 million years ago a huge asteroid (somewhere between 7 and 40 miles in diameter) struck the earth. The result? A hole about 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep. The shock…

Here's another example of how renewable energy is not only possible, but practical and no more expensive than traditional fossil fuel. The 2022 Beijing Olympics will be powered exclusively by renewable energy. See: https://www.powerengineeringint.com/renewables/beijing-2022-olympics-to-be-powered-by-100-renewable-energy/

Yes, Mars has weather. It's a lot colder than here on earth, but it actually has more similarities to our weather than you might expect.  Dr. Marshall Shepherd covers it really well here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/marshallshepherd/2021/02/23/nasas-perseverance-mission-is-awesomeso-whats-the-weather-like-on-mars/?sh=22eaf543f2f4  

This video is well worth your time. Here's the tweet from NASA:  You might have seen photos from Mars, but have you seen high-speed video? We captured our @NASAPersevere rover’s final minutes of descent and landing in a way never seen…

As you might expect, the cold spell that gripped much of the country this week set many records. Here's a tweet from the National Weather Service Prediction Center, @NWSWPC "Over 3000 daily record cold temperatures (minimum and maximum) have now…

On Thursday NASA plans to land its "Percy" Rover on Mars. This is going to feature a whole lot of action and the most intense part of it will happen over 7 minutes starting at 3:55 pm eastern time. Here's…

There's been a lot of misinformation about wind farms in Texas being the cause of the rolling blackouts in Texas. Many power engineers are trying to set the record strait. Renewable energy has generally produced above 80% of its expected…

Check out this post by @ZLabe. It shows the difference from average at each latitude on the earth. You'll notice that Antarctica was slightly cooler than average, while the rest of the planet was warmer than average. But what really…

Scientists have concluded that the Coronavirus Pandemic was likely enabled by human-caused Climate Change. But how? Over the last century, the temperatures have changed quite a bit in China.  As a result, the vegetation has also changed. That caused many…

Here's the first very sobering paragraph from the study: "More than 8 million people died in 2018 from fossil fuel pollution, significantly higher than previous research suggested, according to new research from Harvard University, in collaboration with the University of…

The Empire State Building in New York City is iconic for so many reasons. And now there's one more. Its electricity is now generated by 100% wind power. You can read all about it here: https://technocodex.com/empire-state-building-the-empire-state-building-now-runs-100-on-wind-energy/

During the Covid shutdowns, fewer people were driving cars and that meant that fewer particles made their way into our air. Clearly less pollution in our air is a good thing. But something that might not be obvious is this.…

Sea level is rising faster than scientists expected. The planet is warming - primarily because of burning of fossil fuels (gas, oil, coal, etc.). This warming is causing the glaciers to melt. That melting water flows into the ocean, causing…

NASA says: "Last year, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center supported a record 31 orbital launches from Florida’s Space Coast. This year, teams at Kennedy are looking to shatter that record with more than 50 launches on the manifest for 2021. Enhanced…
