The start-up company currently employs eight people. The roles being created will largely be in tech, operations and customer care, and are expected to come on board over the coming months. “We are based locally and have a detailed understanding of the cities and towns we hope to operate in,” Lee Roche, chief executive of Smart Scooters, said. “We’re also in discussions with a wide range of hotel chains and tour operators, both of whom see the enormous potential for our e-scooter sharing scheme,” he added. The funding was raised privately and used to buy e-scooters, as well as develop the company’s software. ....
Human-Induced Climate Change Directly Linked to Flood Risk in Glacial Lakes Written by AZoCleantechFeb 5 2021 The warming of Earth has caused glaciers to retreat, leading to changes in mountain water systems across the globe. Historical photographs (first three panels) and satellite images show how Lake Palcacocha has grown as the glacier has receded. The lake is now about 34 times its volume in 1970. Image Credit: Stuart-Smith et al./Nature Geoscience. Researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Washington (UW) have, for the first time, directly linked human-induced climate change to the threat of flooding from a glacial lake one of the worst flood risks in the whole world. ....
5 Min Read (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The melting of a glacier in the Peruvian Andes, which is raising the risk of flooding for about 120,000 nearby residents, is being caused by man-made global warming, scientists said on Thursday, providing new evidence for an ongoing climate lawsuit. Peruvian farmer Saul Luciano Lliuya lives in the town of Huaraz below the Palcaraju glacier that is pushing the waters of Lake Palcacocha dangerously high. He sued German energy utility RWE in 2015 over its role in fuelling global warming. Lliuya has argued that greenhouse gas emissions from RWE’s coal-fired power plants are partly to blame for melting the glacier, producing water that threatens to flood his home. ....
Last modified on Thu 4 Feb 2021 11.43 EST Human-caused global heating is directly responsible for the threat of a devastating flood in Peru that is the subject of a lawsuit against the German energy company RWE, according to groundbreaking new research. The study establishes links from human-made greenhouse gas emissions to the substantial risk of a dangerous outburst flood from Lake Palcacocha, high in the Peruvian Andes. The resulting flood would trigger a deadly landslide inundating the city of Huaraz, and threatening about 120,000 people in its path. Climate litigators say the research published in Nature Geoscience could be key to holding major polluters accountable for their contribution to climate change. ....
