Climate change can have ‘lifelong impacts’ on young people’s mental health, American Psychological Association report says –‘Mental health consequences begin even before a child is born’
CNN: Those mental health consequences begin even before a child is born, the report says. Prenatal exposure to weather disasters, high temperatures, air pollution and maternal anxiety can raise a child’s risk of a variety of behavioral and developmental issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, developmental delays, low self-control and psychiatric disorders. The consequences can affect the development of the nervous system and are often irreversible, Clayton said. Sat, 14 Oct 2023 11:59:27 +0000

Net Zero Will Require a Command Economy & Massive Drop in Living Standards, Says Cambridge Professor. And for What?
GUY DE LA BÉDOYÈRE: “The idea that Net Zero can be achieved on the current timelines by any means short of a command economy combined with a drastic decline in standards of living – and several unlikely technological miracles – is a blatant falsehood,” says Professor Michael Kelly, Emeritus Professor of Engineering at Cambridge ...
But perhaps by 2050 the realisation will begin to dawn. There will not have been the slightest detectable impact on the climate. ... But after spending all that money and throwing all that labour into Net Zero, the weather extremes, whatever they are and whatever they are caused by, will continue. ...
There will be no impact on the climate for the lifetimes of those who have poured their lives and money into Net Zero. There will be no impact on the lives of their children, their children’s children, or for many generations after that. There will be no suspension of extreme weather events because extreme weather events are a fact of life and always have been. How many fewer extreme weather events would need to be counted for Net Zero to be deemed a success?

Analylsis: Offshore Wind is an Economic & Environmental Catastrophe
Edward Ring: "The ongoing slaughter of whales off America’s northeast coast thanks to construction of offshore wind turbines: “When you detonate massive explosives, repeatedly drive steel piles into the ocean floor with a hydraulic hammer, and blast high decibel sonar mapping signals underwater, you’re going to harm animals that rely on sound to orient themselves in the ocean. To say it is mere coincidence that hundreds of these creatures have washed ashore, dead, all of a sudden, during precisely the same months when the blasting and pounding began, is brazen deception.”
Nonetheless, when the story can’t be buried, deception is the strategy. Not one major environmental organization, government watchdog agency, or media outlet has called for a slowdown in industrial offshore wind projects. Instead, they repeatedly claim these allegations are misinformation. And from that paragon of truth, FactCheck.org, we get this: “No Evidence Offshore Wind Development Killing Whales.”

Disaster-proofing sustainable neighborhoods requires thorough long-term planning
Engineers and scientists look at how thoughtful design can reduce a sustainably-designed neighborhood’s energy vulnerability during power disruptions, as well as which design characteristics are needed if and when local populations need to move to shelters.

How organic solar cells could become significantly more efficient
The sun sends enormous amounts of energy to the earth. Nevertheless, some of it is lost in solar cells.
