 Air New Zealand scrapped its 2030 carbon emissions reduction targets on Tuesday, citing lags in producing new planes, a lack of alternative fuel and “challenging” regulatory and policy settings.The move by the national carrier — one of New Zealand’s biggest companies by revenue — was the highest-profile reversal yet of an airline’s commitments to a U.N. framework for corporations to stay on track to meet the Paris Agreement on emissions reductions, highlighting the hurdles facing carriers and policymakers in cutting aviation emissions.“If even Air New Zealand can't do it, it kind of cements the reality that reducing emissions from...

Offshore winds have the potential to supply coastlines with massive, consistent flows of clean electricity. One study estimates wind farms just offshore could meet 11 times the projected global electricity demand in 2040. In the U.S., the East Coast is an ideal location to capture this power, but there’s a...

At first, this sounded like the plot to a bad B movie like you’d find if you scroll around for too long on Netflix. I even saw one social media post using a screenshot of the headline (sans context, of course) to explain how the libs are trying to deceive everyone. I mean, the idea of climate change affecting something as universal as the spacetime continuum sounds pretty crazy. But I put in some absolute minimum effort (I read the article), and found out that there is actually something to it!

Jonathan Foley, a climate solutions scientist and executive director of Project Drawdown, recently gave a TED Talk that lays down some hard truths about the climate impacts of our current food system, saying “… we cannot solve climate change unless we also address the problems of food alongside fossil fuels and energy.” Foley makes the connection between food and climate, and then offers some data-backed approaches that are possible right now — no new technology required — that can effectively reduce the climate impacts of our food system.

The trucking industry moves quickly—physically and metaphorically. In an industry in which anything can change everything at any moment—natural and unnatural disasters, legislation, technological advancements, etc.—those in trucking have to work quickly and be highly adaptable. It’s no wonder then that this industry has a high number of abbreviations that, to a newcomer, can be baffling.
