The farming of livestock to feed the global appetite for animal products greatly contributes to global warming. A new study however shows that emission intensity per unit of animal protein produced from the sector has decreased globally over the past two decades due to greater production efficiency, raising questions around the extent to which methane emissions will change in the future and how we can better manage their negative impacts.
The grid needs to smarten up to reach clean energy goals
Smart grids were supposed to come to the rescue a long time ago
In the future, our vehicles and homes will be in constant conversation with the power grid. Smart thermostats will send information about how much energy the home is using or potentially wasting to heat or cool itself. Solar panels will say how much energy they have on hand, while electric vehicles will share information about when and where they’re charging and how much juice they need for their travels. Solar and EV batteries might even offer up the energy they’re storing in case it’s needed elsewhere.

HONOLULU (AP) Scientists in Hawaii have started to introduce native damselflies into the wild on Oahu s North Shore to help repopulate the insect and potentially save the species from extinction.
The state Department of Land and Natural Resources has been releasing orange-black Hawaiian damselflies to an area near Dillingham Air Field, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii New Now reported Saturday.
Department officials said in a statement that the only other wild population of the insects is in Tripler Army Medical Center, but that the location is not ideal for population growth.
