The fourth installment on the climate change debate by Gray Reed energy partner Paul Yale looks at criticisms of Bjorn Lomborg’s False Alarm: How Climate Panic Costs Us Billions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet. These short summaries can’t do justice to Paul’s articles, or the books themselves for that matter. I encourage you to read them.

Hybrid cars consume more fossil fuels and emit more carbon dioxide in the real world than they do in lab tests – partly because drivers are not using the cars’ electric side as much as they could, researchers in Germany have concluded. To address this, the researchers suggest that authorities should implement policies that incentivize and facilitate more frequent charging.

Over the past year, COVID-19 has forced us all to spend much more time at home. For most of us, it has been a stressful year, but many people have used this time to learn how to slow down and focus on the world around them. With the pandemic’s onset in early spring, many non-gardeners turned to flowerpots, raised beds and backyard patches, both due to worries about food shortages and for something to do.

Perhaps one of the most exciting discovery in biophysics in the past decade or so is that some creatures use quantum effects to sense the Earth’s magnetic field. In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, Alex Jones of the UK’s National Physical Laboratory explains how this quantum navigation system is inspiring the development of new metrology technologies for the biosciences.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Like an American Gothic in modern England, Jeff and Tracy Waters appear resolute, reflective and resigned as they stand in front of their neat and modest house in Staines-Upon-Thames. Their unfashionable hometown had recently been renamed both to celebrate its riparian location and appropriate the cachet of Kingston and Richmond, its upmarket neighbors.

The global particle physics community has been energised by two recent results that offer tantalising glimpses of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Researchers at CERN’s LHCb experiment have observed something unusual in the way that B mesons decay into leptons – the class of fundamental particle incorporating electrons, muons, taus and their corresponding neutrinos.

Successful incubation and production of male sea turtle hatchlings is threatened by increased global temperatures. In their latest research, Clarke and colleagues test the efficacy of two potential nest intervention approaches in reducing nest incubation temperatures in a nesting loggerhead turtle population in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean.

BCM’s own Amy Manzelli will be joining a faculty of professionals this Friday, April 30th, as they speak about renewable energy facility siting. Amy regularly works with towns and the state of New Hampshire to navigate the permitting process of solar energy projects. Register here and learn more through presented case studies of recently approved projects.

Earlier this month, the Second Circuit affirmed the District Court for the Southern District of New York’s ruling that state common law claims against oil companies for costs resulting from climate change were either preempted by the Clean Air Act, or, in the case of foreign emissions, represented a non-justiciable political question. See City of New York v.

Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion (DEJI) policies, programs, and initiatives are critically important as we move forward with public and private sector climate and sustainability goals and plans. Underserved and socially, economically, and racially disadvantaged communities bear the burden of pollution, higher energy costs, limited resources, and limited investments in the clean energy and transportation sectors.

Environmental and Urban Economics

I have c o-authored a new book that argues that the answer is "YES" but there are many people who disagree with this claim. At Johns Hopkins University, I taught Urban Economics in Spring 2020. Many of my students were skeptical about the possibility that "gentrification" of cities such as Baltimore would improve the quality of life of local long time residents.

Two-dimensional materials known as rare-earth chalcohalides may be ideal candidates for creating so-called “Kitaev spin liquids” – exotic substances that could be used to build a fault-tolerant topological quantum computer. Experiments by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and Lanzhou University found that the materials, which have the chemical formula REChX (where RE is a rare-earth metal; Ch is oxygen, sulphur, selenium or tellurium; and X is a halogen such as fluorine o
