In this episode of Talking Climate Change with Yash Negi, I sit down with Hardik Siroha, AEE cum Sub-Regional Officer at the Haryana State Pollution Control Board, to explore the complex realities of enforcing environmental laws in India. From the challenges of regulating MSMEs to innovative biomass fuel solutions, circular economy initiatives, and India’s role in global climate diplomacy, Hardik shares candid insight...
NISAR satellite, a joint mission between NASA and India’s space agency, recently launched to monitor Earth's surface with unprecedented precision. This advanced radar system, detailed as the most sophisticated NASA has ever deployed, will track minuscule changes in land and ice regions, measuring shifts as slight as a centimeter.
The article explains that various factors, including El Niño, reduced cloud cover, weaker winds, and altered ocean currents, contributed to these events, illustrating the intensifying impact of climate change. The author also points out the devastating consequences for human livelihoods and marine life, emphasizing the urgency of understanding these complex changes.
The article published in NY Times by Ferris Jabr explores a bold geoengineering initiative to protect the Great Barrier Reef from rising ocean temperatures. Researchers are experimenting with creating fog and brightening clouds using specialized ships to cool and shade the waters where corals reside, thereby reducing the stress that leads to coral bleaching.
The article emphasizes that these increases are particularly noticeable in remote forests, suggesting a direct link to climate shifts rather than human activity, and notes that simultaneous large fires strain firefighting resources globally. Finally, it touches on how policy and budget cuts can worsen these climate-driven fire trends.
The provided text explores the significant challenges in preventing flash flood disasters globally, highlighting their reputation as the "hardest kind to prevent" due to difficulties in accurate prediction and warning system implementation. It examines cases of ineffective warning systems, such as those in Texas and Valencia, Spain, where lack of funding or delayed activation led to numerous fatalities. Conv...
In this episode of Talking Climate Change with Yash Negi, we sit down with Jim Boyle, CEO of Sustainability Roundtable Inc. to explore how corporate sustainability is evolving from a leadership-driven initiative to a deeply embedded culture. Jim shares powerful insights on strategy management, renewable energy procurement, and incentive alignment across organizations. We discuss real-world examples like Bloomberg&apos...
Ernie Miller is the CEO of Verde Clean Fuels, a company focused on creating cleaner gasoline for everyday use. With more than 25 years of experience in the commodity-driven energy sector, Ernie is a forward-thinking leader championing cleaner fuel alternatives as the world moves towards net zero.
At Verde Clean Fuels, Ernie is leading efforts to commercialize its syngas-to-gasoline technology, which converts diverse fe...
Since 2008, the sector has made progress in improving energy efficiency through measures such as slow steaming and the use of larger vessels. However, there is still considerable potential for further reducing energy costs. Technologies that are already commercially available, such as improved hull design and waste heat recovery systems, could lead to significant reductions in fuel consumption and overall expenses.
Political shifts, particularly the resurgence of pro-fossil fuel policies in the U.S., are significantly changing Wall Street's approach to energy finance. Once committed to net-zero goals, central U.S. banks are now reconsidering their restrictions on controversial fossil fuel projects and are interested in high-carbon assets. This change is driven by perceived financial risks associated with green initiatives a...
The International Energy Agency's Global Energy Review 2025 offers a comprehensive analysis of 2024 energy trends across all fuels, technologies, and major regions. The report highlights a faster-than-average growth in global energy demand, primarily driven by electricity consumption due to factors like cooling needs and digitalization.
The International Energy Agency's report titled "Electricity 2025" analyzes and forecasts global electricity trends, demand, supply, and carbon emissions up to the year 2027. It examines factors such as increasing electrification, the expansion of power systems, and the growing role of renewable energy, while also assessing grid reliability and security. The report highlights specific situations in vari...
A report from the World Meteorological Organization confirms that the past decade has been the hottest on record, with 2024 marking the warmest year to date, exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels for the first time. This unprecedented warming is attributed to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases, which have reached levels not seen in hundreds of thousands to millions of years. These changes are...
Breakthrough Energy, the climate-focused organization founded by Bill Gates, is significantly reducing its staff and operations, particularly in areas related to policy and partnerships. This restructuring is a response to the political climate under the Trump administration, which has led to a perceived decrease in opportunities for influencing policy. As a result, Gates's efforts will now focus on providing dir...
The article discusses the conflict between preserving biodiversity and the urgent need for decarbonization. It argues that strictly prioritizing biodiversity protection can impede the development of renewable energy infrastructure, which is vital for combating climate change—a key factor in species extinction. The author suggests that our current perspective on biodiversity tends to be aesthetic and may hinder essenti...
The global battery market is undergoing rapid growth and transformation, driven by increasing electric vehicle adoption and declining battery prices. China currently dominates battery production, benefiting from manufacturing experience, supply chain integration, and a focus on LFP technology. However, other regions, including Europe and the United States, are actively expanding their battery manufacturing capabilitie...
Ocean plankton, the foundation of the marine food web, are under pressure from climate change. A new NASA satellite, PACE, offers unprecedented detail on phytoplankton diversity, revealing how warming temperatures disrupt their populations. Ocean deserts are expanding, while coastal blooms are becoming more frequent and harmful, with some creating toxins that devastate marine life and local economies. Researchers comb...
China faces challenges in meeting its climate goals due to a reliance on energy-intensive industries and shifts in how energy consumption is measured. The country's five-year plans, which include targets for reducing energy and carbon intensity, are at risk of not being met, requiring a significant emissions drop in 2025. Economic pressures and overcapacity in sectors like solar panels have further complicated th...
