We are in the not-too-distant future, when heat waves have become even more frequent and intense, with noticeable consequences for the entire population. This is neither a prediction nor a desired development, but a possible way to look at what climate adaptation and mitigation might look like, i...

As the sun beats down on the Southwestern United States, transforming every sidewalk into a skillet and every car into a sauna, one can’t help but fantasize about cooler climes. Consider this: You’re leaving your air-conditioned cell for somewhere where the sun is a gentle friend rather ...

Heating systems are a critical part of every home that experiences the four seasons. While the weather used to be very predictable in the past, the skies have become quite moody over the years. Climate experts say that this is because of Global Warming. When we observe adverse weather changes ...

Hong Kong is heating up. According to the Hong Kong Observatory, the city is seeing a significant long-term warming trend, which data from 2017 and 2018 confirm: 2017 was warmer than usual, with 41 hot nights [above 28°C] and 29 very hot days [above 33°C], ranking the highest and t...

FTX Arena, formerly known as the Miami Heat’s stadium, has been renamed Kaseya Center in the latest development of crypto sports sponsorships. The crypto winter in sports sponsorships can be traced back to 2021 when large sponsorships were being approved, such as Crypto.com’s $700 millio...

When most of us picture the U.S. state of Minnesota, we probably imagine snow, iced-over lakes, and guys sitting in little shacks on said frozen lakes, shivering as they haul fish up through an axe-chopped hole. But just this summer, it hit 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36.1 degrees Celsius) outside my roo...

One late morning this summer, I laced up my running shoes for another challenging workout on the island. Navigating through the Maltese landscape during a summer’s day is synonymous with enduring scorching temperatures. However, on this particular run, I encountered a surprising respite from t...

I often say that a Heat Pump (HP) is an Air Conditioner (AC) that also heats. HPs are advantageous because they heat cheaper and cleaner than traditional equipment like furnaces, boilers, and stoves. But what about in the summer? Can HPs cool just as well as ACs for the same price?...

The technology is fairly new and doesn’t behave the same as traditional home heating methods. I like to use the dawn of the microwave as an analogy: microwaves reheat food faster and easier than traditional methods but are terrible at making toast. Just as early adopters had to le...

Though today it seems only destruction exists we stand amidst the one and only outcome the unwavering course of action I see a past and a future lush and green Visit Now

When I was in college studying physics a few years ago, I remember there was a task to solve heat equation analytically for some simple problems. In the next semester we learned about numerical methods to solve some partial differential equations (PDEs) in general. It’s really interesting to s...

My introduction to the sneaker community began when I came across a rather uncanny reel of the protagonist wearing his sneakers with a transparent foil covering in the rain, which got me thinking, what is the hype all about, and how do I ‘cop’ one pair for myself? Sneakerheads: From S...
