"Apr 4, 2025
The Klamath River now flows free for hundreds of miles from Southern Oregon to the ocean. But after the largest dam removal project in the U.S., challenges remain. Water shortages in the upper basin fuel toxic bacteria, disease outbreaks and conflicts over endangered fish as salmon swim upstream for the first time in a century."

"Steel Reinvented: Inside the World’s First Plant to Burn No Fossil Fuels [Tour]" [12:27 min]

"Jul 21, 2025
In this region of Sweden, people have been working with iron for over 2,000 years. Back then, it gave the people who lived here new tools, trade, and technology. Today, in the same region, steel is still being made, but it's now used in wind turbines, electric vehicles, and the clean energy transition.
But, steel makes up 7% of global CO2 emissions. And even the “clean” steel isn’t fully clean. Even electric arc furnaces, which use electricity to melt steel, still burn fossil fuels for one last step. But this steel plant has figured out how to cut that too.
Here at Ovako’s Hofors facility, a world-first innovation is eliminating the last fossil fuels from the electric arc furnace – by reheating the steel not with gas, but with hydrogen, made and burned on site. From ancient forges to hydrogen flames – this is what the future of low-emission steel looks like."

The Sahara Desert is becoming a hub for clean, renewable energy that can power a significant portion of Europe. This involves building massive solar farms across the desert’s vast terrain on an unprecedented scale using advanced photovoltaic and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies.

The goal of this mega project is to supply up to 20% of Europe’s energy demand through clean electricity transmitted via high-voltage cables under the Mediterranean Sea. #solarpower #ClimateSolutions

The Sahara Desert, one of the sunniest places on Earth, is at the heart of a bold vision: to become a hub for clean, renewable energy that can power a significant portion of Europe. This initiative, often referred to as “solarizing the Sahara,” involves building massive solar farms across the desert’s vast and uninhabited terrain. These farms will capture the region’s intense and consistent sunlight to generate electricity on an unprecedented scale using advanced photovoltaic and concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies. The goal of this mega project is to supply up to 20% of Europe’s energy demand through clean electricity transmitted via high-voltage cables under the Mediterranean Sea. Beyond its potential to decarbonize Europe’s energy system, the project promises economic growth and job creation in North African countries. However, it also faces challenges such as geopolitical stability, transmission infrastructure, and environmental concerns. If successful, it could reshape global energy dynamics.

More climate breakdown predictions:
Weighted net-like blankets,
Headboard extenders for bed or sleeping area.

Previous ideas:
Siestas,
Nocturnal cooking and eating patterns (a bit like Ramadan but) in summer,

Biphasic work patterns or maybe crepuscular (dawn and dusk, like cats' hunting times),
Shorter work week like 20 hours becomes full time -- since multiple rounds of neurodegenerative covid and unacknowledged Long Covid,

Dehumidifier to survive wet bulb humidity,
Cotton and linen skimpy clothing covered by loose flowy plastic crap instead of just using sunblock.
