As one example, in California, a number of coastal power plants were supposed to shut down because of rules around once-through-cooling, but because of concerns about blackouts, those plants were given an extension for operation, and will likely get an additional extension. Here’s Part 1 and Part 2 ).

Google officials say their data centers need more water to cool the equipment, but neither the city nor Google will say exactly how much more. For example, restoring trees along deforested riverbanks can shade the ecosystem and cool the river during extreme heat. Google claims the water-use data is a trade secret.

We will also have to weatherize and insulate millions upon millions of homes to make them easier to heat during winters and cool them during increasingly hot summers. Wealthy nations have massive meat consumptions and this is a serious problem for biodiversity and deforestation.

Pre-Colonial forests provided the cool, clean water that brookies require. In total, the new trees and shrubs cover nearly half of the watershed’s deforested stream miles, and more plantings are in the works. But with the clearing of forests for timber and farming, and later mining, water quality suffered, and with it, brook trout.

Keeping wild spaces wild, stopping deforestation and restoring degraded land to protect biodiversity, boost food production and store carbon. It means investments and policies that focus on investments in “nature’s infrastructure” for climate regulation: our wetlands, forests, mangroves and more besides.

Restoring trees along deforested riverbanks, for example, can shade the ecosystem and cools the river during extreme heat. Simple conservation tactics, many of which Indigenous communities developed and have utilized for centuries, can make a world of difference increasing fish populations’ resiliency.

It also incorporates both a warm and a cool period during the oscillation - both of which impact upper atmospheric winds (10). In more recent times, Krakatoa in the East Indies cooled the planet's temperature rise and halted sea level rise for at least two decades, and that was one volcano - albeit an intense one (20).

When we drink a cool glass of water from the tap we may think of the local reservoir, but the real source of the water quality lies many miles upstream in the wooded watershed that filters and cleans the water as it flows downhill. Part of the challenge lies in collecting data. Not so much for loss of coastal wetlands.

There may also be an extreme variation between warm and cool seasons, including extreme winds and storms due to the mixing of cold and warm air.
