U.S. to invest $1.2 bn on facilities to pull carbon from air Penn In the News France 24 U.S. to invest $1.2 bn on facilities to pull carbon from air Helene Pilorge of the School of Engineering and Applied Science says that the rocks in the subsoil of Louisiana and Texas are sedimentary rocks, different from Icelandic basalts but perfectly viable for storing CO2. Scientists look beyond climate change and El Niño for other factors that heat up Earth Penn In the News Associated Press Scientists look beyond climate change and El Niño for other factors that heat up Earth Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences estimates that about five-sixths of the recent climate warming is from human burning of fossil fuels, with about one-sixth due to a strong El Niño. Here’s how hot and extreme the summer has been, and it’s only halfway over Penn In the News Associated Press Here’s how hot and extreme the summer has been, and it’s only halfway over Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences questions why people are still burning fossil fuels after the weather extremes of the current summer. July 2023 set to be world’s hottest month on record Penn In the News Reuters July 2023 set to be world’s hottest month on record Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that the record warmth of July indicates a planet that will continue to warm as long as people burn fossil fuels. Why are gas prices going up again? Penn In the News Yahoo! News Why are gas prices going up again? Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that the solution to the increase in global temperatures is to quickly transition to cleaner sources of power.

Climate change denial hit its stride in the Bush-Cheney era, precipitating today’s climate disaster Penn In the News Salon.com Climate change denial hit its stride in the Bush-Cheney era, precipitating today’s climate disaster Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences explains why the Republican Party’s official stance became the rejection of environmental science during the George W. Bush years. Three things to know about a sustainable energy breakthrough “The air contains an enormous amount of electricity,” says Jun Yao, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and the paper’s senior author. “Think of a cloud, which is nothing more than a mass of water droplets. Each of those droplets contains a charge, and when conditions are right, the cloud can produce a lightning bolt—but we don’t know how to reliably capture electricity from lightning. What we’ve done is to create a human-built, small-scale cloud that produces electricity for us predictably and continuously so that we can harvest it.” (Image: iStock/Matt Grehan) Three things to know about a sustainable energy breakthrough Penn Engineering’s James Pikul explains how a new method of harnessing energy by using water trapped in the air is possible and discusses the implication of the research. Carbon capture and storage is ‘no free lunch’, warns climate chief Penn In the News The Guardian Carbon capture and storage is ‘no free lunch’, warns climate chief Michael Mann of the School of Arts & Sciences says that oil producers are misrepresenting the IPCC’s findings on carbon capture technology by arguing for a continued use of fossil fuels.
