Last week, we reported on a study from the Institute of Mechanical Engineers that suggested creating forests of synthetic trees and algae-lined buildings to absorb CO2 and delay climate change. And earlier this month, we wrote about a ...READ»
Scientists already know that climate change has an impact on the environment, but what about the supercomputers that are supposed to predict climate change? It turns out the U.K.'s most powerful supercomputer, which also happens to be ...READ»
As climate change accelerates, scientists keep coming up with increasingly fanciful schemes to fight it. Earlier this month we took a look at a plan to deploy ships that spray climate change-battling clouds, and now comes word from a ...READ»
Ultra-fast Ethernet networks are great for playing graphics-heavy online games, but they could also help fight climate change, according to researchers at the Berkeley National Lab. The Department of Energy recently awarded the lab ...READ»
Instead fighting climate change with emissions-lowering technologies alone, scientists at the Copenhagen Consensus Center are proposing the use of so-called "cloud ships" to launch clouds into the sky. The 1,900 unmanned ...READ»
Here's a unique way to adapt to global warming: build floating apartment complexes. That's what Dutch designer Koen Olthuis is doing in the Netherlands with the Citadel, a residential complex that will be built on top of a ...READ»
Despite the flailing economy, many major companies--Wal-Mart, McDonald's, and Exxon, to name a few--have invested heavily in sustainable technologies that could mitigate the effects of global warming. Good news: these investments will ...READ»
Everyone (well, mostly everyone) is worried about the effects of climate change on global weather patterns. But what if wind power--one of the most prominent clean energy solutions--affects the weather too? According to scientists at ...READ»
Yes, the King of Pop has gone to meet the Emperor of Pop, and taken much of his patented weirdness with him. Lest you forget that Earth is strange enough even without the scion of Neverland Ranch, here are a few of this week's viral ...READ»
