Stay cool. Stay safe.

Barely a day after portions of the Northeast Kingdom were inundated with upward of 8 inches of rain, Vermont was expected to see heavy rainfall Wednesday afternoon and night, according to the National Weather Service.

It issued a flood watch for all but the southernmost counties of Windham and Bennington from noon Wednesday through midnight.

We dig up some unreleased fragments of our conversation with Open-weather. Sophie Dyer+Sasha Engelmann share their origin story while demonstrating live their collaborative dynamic.

A idea that's been on my mind for a number of years now: Air liquification ( ) is a viable way of storing energy on its own and particularly attractive at large scale. These systems usually filter out CO2, but dry ice could easily be produced as a by-service of the battery, meaning that a municipal energy storage system could do double duty for and - pump into ground, use in sequestering industrial processes, etc.

I participated in a Zoom meeting today of the Alberni Clayoquot Regional District Transportation committee. They are looking into creating a new emergency highway route on one of the industrial logging roads out of town with an eye on lobbying/justifying a permanent secondary road.

The Ministry of Transport was making a presentation updating the group on their work to identify and evaluate potential routes.

They identified a total of 7 routes (some overlap).

They are not considering the reactivation of the railway.

When I asked them to expand on whether they had any discussions about the railway, they gave a boilerplate answer about the railway owner (The Regional Districts districts and First Nations) receiving funding to do their own studies and determine the future of the railway, essentially washing their hands of any direct involvement.

I am so tired of our highway-blindered transportation ministries in this country.

The only good news is there are people on the regional committee that are supportive of taking a more holistic and strategic approach the bad news is, there have been people like that for decades. If the Ministry and Provincial/Federal politicians dont care about rail, it wont ever happen.

many protesters include highly skilled professionals including scientists, sociologists, educators. The government could INVITE them to become advisory consultants to govt as done in Taiwan. The more the uk govt locks up people with ludicrously long sentences the more pathetic the government looks. As they say, what else are concerned people supposed to do Nothing else has worked. I thank them.

We needed to act decades ago. But if not everybody starts to get their arses into gear, everybody (incl. Big Business) will suffer even more than acting now.

on THU is global world exhaustion day. Then the population has used up their annually sustainable 'allocation'. So we're (humanity) consuming the 1.7 fold resource availability (incl capacity to not overheat, not get toxic, etc.).

Hey, economists: Eternal growth of GDP is not sustainable! We're living in a finite world, where exponential growth is not feasible if we all want to survive.

F*ck big business lobbyists who are afraid the year's bottom line will suffer.

Devastating after one storm in

The importance of clean indoor air will only become more urgent, scientists have warned, as the effects of bite harder. In Australia, spending time outside and opening windows to improve ventilation won't be possible during periods of , say, or catastrophic seasons that leave cities blanketed in thick for weeks on end.

This site could soon host a massive installation

The - Department of Energy announced plans last week to transform a contaminated former production site into what could be the largest project in the country. The installation would stretch across up to 8,000 acres in south-central state and boast up to 1 gigawatt of energy capacity enough to power 750,000 homes.

It may seem improbable for scientists to gauge the worlds hottest day given data limitations, but theyve developed a technique thats increasingly useful as the planet heats up.

Scientists in Japan have developed a new way of breaking down toxic forever chemicals quickly at room temperature. The technique broke down 100% of certain types of these pollutants overnight, recovering some useful components for reuse.
