Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-07-20 11:00:29

If a 60-mile-wide (100-kilometer-wide) asteroid slammed into Earth tomorrow, it would render the planet inhospitable to nearly all life forms, save for the hardiest extremophiles. This mass extinction event would wipe humanity off the face of the Earth—there would be no survivors. To some experts, this is the true definition of an “existential threat.” Traditionalists will say this term describes a risk that endangers the very existence of something—in this case, the human species.

Scientists Will Melt Some of Earth’s Oldest Ice to Solve Climate Mystery

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-07-21 19:06:58

A team of U.K. researchers are planning to melt some of the oldest ice on Earth in an ambitious bid to reconstruct up to 1.5 million years of our planet’s climate history. In doing so, they could also help solve a mystery that has puzzled scientists for over two decades. Over the course of seven weeks, scientists at the British Antarctic Survey plan to gradually melt 1.5-million-year-old Antarctic ice cores at their lab in Cambridge, England, unlocking whatever dust, volcanic ash, and even sing

In defense of air-conditioning

We should all be aware of the growing electricity toll of air-conditioning, but the AC hate is misplaced. Yes, AC is energy intensive, but so is heating our homes, something that’s rarely decried in the same way that cooling is. Both are tools for comfort and, more important, for safety. So why is air-conditioning cast as such a villain? In the last days of June and the first few days of July, temperatures hit record highs across Europe.

Why recycling solar panels is harder than you might think

news.ycombinator.com Anurag Srivastava 2025-07-31 19:38:18

It’s hard work soaking up sunlight to generate clean electricity. After about 25 to 30 years, solar panels wear out. Over the years, heating and cooling cycles stress the materials. Small cracks develop, precipitation corrodes the frame and layers of materials can start to peel apart. In 2023, about 90% of old or faulty solar panels in the U.S. ended up in landfills. Millions of panels have been installed worldwide over the past few decades – and by about 2030, so many will be ready to retire t
