The benefits of a longer product life

...climate warming gases. Producing less products and using existing products differently and for longer, will reduce lifecycle emissions and impacts. Globally we generate approximately 40 million tons of electronic waste (e-waste) each year of which only 12.5% is recycled. That’s a lot of valuable resources being mined, produced and displaced, with resultant toxic...

Golden Globe Ocean Race: Antarctic ice cliff instability and sea-level predictions

...climate scenarios (colors). Turning off MICI reduces the Antarctic sea level contribution from within the shaded areas to the bold areas. In fact if we compare these lower predictions with previous estimates from other studies without MICI they agree very well. We also see an evolving difference between different climate scenarios even without MICI at about 2070....

How can corporations reduce digital carbon footprints?

...climate hesitation and helping address eco-anxiety. For more on this, see the article in this series on remote working. On the other hand, organisations that act to curb digital emissions now, set themselves on a better trajectory to achieving and maintaining NetZero strategies as digital continues to become more pervasive. What can corporates do to tackle digital carbon...

John Perry Barlow: An Appreciation

...changed the course of my life when I was just starting out as an internet developer in the early 1990s, and when I met him and went to work for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, I had the incredible and inspiring opportunity to affirm my first impression of his philosophy: the internet would only be a force for good if we committed ourselves endlessly to that cause, and...

As Cassini reaches the end, we should prepare the next mission

...change with the seasons. We need to learn about tides and ocean icebergs, to define a climate cycle and to determine the composition of the land masses – are they derived from basalt, the most common rock type in the solar system, or are they frozen ice and mud? Does Titan have a rocky core overlain directly by an icy mantle, or does it have an ocean below the surface?...
