Climate

A Rude Awakening
In a time of the not-too-distant future we will have been witnessed to the greatest environmental catastrophe since the last Ice Age. Man's neglect and unilateral disagreement on the steps to negate the effects of global warming has rendered the planet almost inhospitable for all life forms. The common denominator that would bind nations together has always eluded the powers that be. The consequences of inaction on a united front have unleashed torments of disasters all over the world.

Creeping of the Cross Sea
A cross sea is as nebulous and accurate as it sounds: when crossing waves collide. Near perpendicular - angular at collision, a wave comes from over one side and another wave the other. Dangerous rarity propelled by winds and rhythm never ending, the clash and retreat calms at low tide and grows spectacular at high. Getting between the waves means no return.

A SHARK'S TALE
Right after the Rio de Janeiro Carnival of 2022, two humpback whales went cruising down the Antarctic Circumpolar Current towards the Pacific Ocean. While on their way to Australia - from Brazil - when arriving at the South Pacific Gyre, one humpback whale, by the name of Mordor asked the other humpback whale, “Ooooooh oooooh oooooh?” The other humpback whale, named Morgoth replied, “Eeeeee eeeee eeeee!”

Y - after the storm
Ah! Dancing. I know there are people who don’t like to dance. However, I personally don’t know many of them. In fact, there is only one of my friends you’ll never find on the dance floor. Let me clarify that. SHE won’t be caught on the dance floor. Most of my female friends are like me. Play music and our feet are twitching. Most of my male friends, however, including my husband need to be dragged onto the dance floor for even the slowest dances, forget about anything with an upbeat.

COP27 Climate Summit: Some Key Statistics on Risk and Investment Trends
As Egypt hosts the most important sustainability event of the year, COP27, the Middle Eastern country is pushing hard on making the summit about decarbonization implementation as opposed to climate commitments. However, given the weak global economy, high inflation, and geopolitical instability, we should not expect many breakthroughs coming out of this year's summit. The over 100 countries participating will be negotiating the establishment of the Damage and Loss Fund (a fund to finance damage and losses suffered by most vulnerable countries), as well as the $ 100 billion yearly investment commitment for developing countries to address their climate adaptation and mitigation priorities. Nobody expects much progress on either front given the limited political capital of the largest polluting countries as well as the weak budget space to fill the climate financing gap.

Is It Only A Matter Of Time Until We're On A Dry Desolate Rock
2023 is promising to be no better than 2022. How will we know? It will require us to become more aware, not letting ourselves become so bogged down we miss what’s occurring in front of us, and we will need to play a part at times. That last one is going to be the hardest. That’s because a lot of our species struggle with change.

COP27 – WHAT’S AT STAKE FOR THE CLIMATE AND THE PLANET

The Night Sky
No matter how far along you are in your sophistication as an amateur astronomer, there is always one fundamental moment that we all go back to. That is that very first moment that we went out where you could really see the cosmos well and you took in the night sky. For city dwellers, this is a revelation as profound as if we discovered aliens living among us. Most of us have no idea the vast panorama of lights that dot a clear night sky when there are no city lights to interfere with the view.

How To Build A Smart Solar Tower Turns Even Dead Traffic Into Sales
What is a Smart Solar Tower? A smart solar tower is a large, solar-powered display that uses LED lights to create a futuristic display. These towers are also called auto-digital signs and auto-digital billboards, and they can be programmed to display a range of information. A smart solar tower will automatically change colors based on the time of day and even the weather forecast. It can also rotate or tilt, and will usually have touch-sensitive buttons to allow people to control it manually. You can use a smart solar tower as a digital menu board, showroom window, or even as a promotional tool to attract customers while they wait in line.
