In a recent video on her YouTube channel, German theoretical physicist and philosopher of science Sabine Hossenfelder critiqued a controversial lecture given by Nobel Prize-winning physicist John F. Clauser. Clauser, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2022, has publicly expressed skepticism about climate change, labeling it a “myth.” Hossenfelder provided a detailed analysis…
Climate change is often associated with its physical impacts on our planet, but recent research highlights its profound effects on mental health. In a BBC video, neuroscientist Clayton Aldern and assistant professor of applied psychology Charles Ogunbode discuss how extreme weather events are influencing psychological well-being, emphasizing the urgent need to address these issues alongside…
Janet Yellen, U.S. Treasury Secretary, has issued a bold call for an annual investment of $3 trillion to address climate change, a message that finance expert John Williams recently discussed in depth on his YouTube channel. According to Yellen, this massive financial commitment is essential for transitioning to a low-carbon global economy by 2050. The…
In a recent video, German theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, PhD, addresses a critical issue in the field of climate science: the lack of transparency in the presentation of temperature data. Hossenfelder points out that the common practice of using temperature anomalies rather than absolute temperatures in climate graphs conceals significant discrepancies in climate models. The…
During a Senate committee hearing, Senator Josh Hawley confronted Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, accusing the Biden administration of prioritizing its climate agenda over preserving blue-collar jobs and American energy independence. This exchange highlighted ongoing tensions between environmental policies and economic concerns. Climate Agenda vs. Energy Security Hawley focused on a leaked memo from…
In a provocative video, German theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, PhD, challenges the widespread narrative that fossil fuel companies are solely to blame for climate change. According to Hossenfelder, the responsibility lies more with consumers and society at large. This perspective aims to shift the focus from corporate blame to individual accountability, urging a more introspective…
A recent video by Tomorrow’s Build introduced a revolutionary technology that might look like a regular factory but has the potential to reverse climate change. This new type of infrastructure, which sucks CO2 out of the air, could become one of our biggest weapons against global warming. The host Fred Mills explores how these machines…
In a recent video by the YouTube channel Unraveling Architecture, hosted by Natalie Perri, the concept of tree-covered “green” skyscrapers is critically examined. These structures, hailed as beacons of eco-friendly urban development, may not be as sustainable as they appear. Perri delves into the history, the hype, and the harsh realities of biophilic design, providing…
In a recent video by PBS Terra, host Joe Hanson takes us on an exploration of a titan of modern engineering: the world’s largest crane, located at Mammoet’s headquarters in Rotterdam Harbor. This colossal machine, known as the PTC210-DS ring crane, boasts an incredible lifting capacity of 5,000 tons – equivalent to hoisting the SpaceX…
In a recent video by Dr. Adam Levy, also known as Climate Adam, he highlights the alarming rise in deadly heatwaves and their direct connection to climate change. Heatwaves are becoming more frequent, severe, and deadly as global temperatures climb. This article explores Levy’s insights and the urgent need for climate action to mitigate these…
Climate change is a global issue that affects us all, but certain places worldwide experience its impacts more visibly than others. These changes are often stark and undeniable, from rising sea levels to extreme weather events. Have you ever wondered where you can witness these dramatic environmental shifts up close?

Oregon’s Climate Protection Program, a significant initiative aimed at reducing the state’s greenhouse gas emissions, faced a major setback when an Appeals Court invalidated it last year due to a technical error. Established by former Governor Kate Brown, the program had been a cornerstone of the state’s climate strategy. Now, after months of reworking the…
In a recent video, Roman Balmakov delves into the contentious issue of climate change and the widespread narrative that our planet is on the brink of a catastrophic climate crisis. Balmakov explores the dichotomy between the alarming predictions often publicized and the more nuanced perspectives held by some scientists. Let’s see what he had to…
In a fascinating twist of environmental conflict, a tiny amphibian has come head-to-head with the urgent need for renewable energy in Nevada. The Dixie Valley toad, discovered in a remote desert area, has inadvertently stalled the construction of a geothermal plant that promises to provide a significant source of clean energy. A recent video by…
In a recent interview with The Hill, senior climate scientist Christopher Gloninger discussed the extreme heat gripping large parts of the United States and the political backlash meteorologists face when discussing climate change.
