Why Is the Southern Ocean Cooling? Three New Scientific Explanations Challenge Climate Models
Surface temperatures in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica have cooled for decades, defying the projections of leading climate models and puzzling researchers worldwide. In this article, physicist Ralph B. Alexander examines three recent studies that propose strikingly different explanations for this unexpected climate anomaly.
Utility Scale Lithium Based Energy Storage Systems
Large-scale lithium-ion battery storage is expanding rapidly, often with limited public discussion of safety and environmental risks. The article below examines a recent white paper by engineer Richard Ellenbogen that analyzes these risks, particularly when such facilities are sited in densely populated or environmentally sensitive areas.
