Norway getting it done electrifying both heating and transportation. Yes - heat pumps work fine in cold climates.
Jan Rosenow@janrosenow25 Jan 2023
BREAKING: Norwegian heat pump market grows by 25% in 2022. Almost 2/3 of homes in Norway now have a heat pump installed. novap.no/artikler/energismar…

@xtracycle we made the "coolest" bike out there @cooperunion, turning a free radical into a heat pump beverage cooler, powered by pedaling. @BITZERGroup @kippworks @ForrestCHAOS

Gas powered leaf blowers are now banned in DC. They have 124X the pollution of a car and the gas powered variety produces noise that impacts 15X the households than the electric variety. The health and quality of life impacts of this policy are enormous. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

Hemos perdido 60% de la vida silvestre terrestre mundial en los últimos 50 años. 90% de la pesca de gran tamaño en el último siglo. Hemos presionado a los ecosistemas a un punto que 96% de los mamíferos terrestres son seres humanos o ganado. Necesitamos más conservación

The PT paper is just a list of wishes, future developments, and present limitations. Computer models are decades away from having the necessary computing power, even using state of the art supercomputers. Be honest!

How can we keep people comfortable from the heat without regulating indoor air temperature? 🌡️ @AndlingerCenter researchers @fmeggers and Kian Wee Chen explain their simple, cheap and scalable solution at @sciam. bit.ly/2SEZbS4

A Better Way to Cool Ourselves

A new technique doesn’t deprive us of fresh air. And because it uses less energy, it’s good for the climate as well

In 🎥 ⤵️ @ExxonMobil lobbyists candidly confirm the most cynical takes on the oil major's strategies. This is not how a corporate actor supposedly committed to an energy transition to limit warming below 2°C acts. This is how one actively working to impede that transition acts.

REVEALED: How Exxon held back climate action for decades, and is still doing it today. We went undercover with Exxon’s lobbyists to expose the truth. Watch and share.

Asi es, seguimos adelante. Ahora a cerrar las termos a carbón al 2030, subir el impuesto verde y apunta a una meta 100% renovable.

It’s getting hot in here, so let’s cool down these walls. A team at Princeton led by @fmeggers found that radiant systems, which try and cool the temperature of surfaces in a space, can be an incredibly efficient way to ventilate buildings. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
