And it challenges 50 years of chaos theory in the process. More information Adding us as a Preferred Source in Google by using this link indicates that you would like to see more of our content in Google News results. Chaos theory argues that even predictable systems can quickly overlap into unpredictable situations. A new forecasting model sidesteps some of the barriers. Even after decades of meteorological advances, weather forecasting remains infamously difficult.

The deeply uncomfortable film forces audiences to confront what types of stories we tell ourselves about who has economic and political power. Should you see a Looney Tunes-esque satire that stars Tom Cruise in prosthetics portraying a loud caricature of an American oilman, that's currently on track to be one of the biggest box-office failures of all time? Absolutely yes--and it's a movie that rewired my expectations of what a movie about climate change should be. The deeply uncomfortable film forces audiences to confront what kind of characters we're the most comfortable making into climate villains . The film stars Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an oil billionaire who only wears cowboy boots and lives in a mansion covered in antlers and polar bear skin rugs. At the start of the film, one of Digger's oil-drilling platforms accidentally causes a massive iceberg to break loose, resulting in a huge methane leak.

Let's Talk About the Super El Niño and Climate Change Here's what we know about the record-setting El Niño on a record-hot planet, and the most important questions scientists are trying to answer. The tropical Pacific has seen heat build for months as a "super" El Niño takes shape. A climate phenomenon that forms every few years, this year's iteration of El Niño has been on a tear of daily records and is forecast to reach unprecedented strength this winter. While it's characterized by hotter-than-normal waters in the eastern tropical Pacific, El Niño is a global problem. It's fair to wonder how another global problem is interacting with El Niño: climate change, driven by burning fossil fuels.

Supreme Court justices debated whether climate lawsuits against oil companies like Suncor and ExxonMobil belong in federal court or state court. A decision is expected by next spring.

Amazon Says It's No Longer Using NDAs for Data Centers The company announced it will stop using secret agreements with county officials and acknowledges community backlash could lead to data center "moratoriums" across the country. Amazon has made a series of new public commitments to communities where it's building data centers, including making an official announcement that it no longer uses nondisclosure agreements in its arrangements with county officials. In a blog post published Friday, CEO Matt Garman detailed the steps the company says it's already taking around data centers. In addition to stopping the use of NDAs, Garman says $1 billion will be invested over the next five years in communities that house the company's data centers. The money will go toward free community college programs, workforce training, and energy efficiency upgrades for schools, homes, and community buildings.

AI doomsday and climate change fears are driven by a Fear Industrial Complex of media, activists, and politicians. The pattern echoes decades of apocalyptic warnings.

From e-bikes to stoves, here's how companies are adding energy storage in surprising ways. If you want to install a big battery in New York City, you have to cut through a notoriously tough tangle of regulations. That's made it difficult to get large energy storage projects on the grid. Faced with those obstacles, some startups are getting creative, finding ways to use relatively small batteries in unexpected places, from induction stovetops to food carts. By deploying these more consumer-focused batteries, the companies are helping people directly, cutting pollution or power bills. And these units, while small on their own, could add up to a lot of capacity.

The negative climate news is piling up, but there are some bright spots of progress if you know where to look. Earlier this month, the UN announced the planet will tip past 1.5 C of warming, "likely within the next few years," squashing any lingering hope that nations would cut emissions fast enough to achieve the loftiest goal of the Paris climate agreement. In the US, the world's second-largest-emitting country, its leader continues to deny climate realities and unravel climate policies . Big Tech is backpedaling on its climate ambitions, as companies race to build massive AI data centers. And all this comes amid yet another season of shattered heat records, raging wildfires, and deadly floods. It can be tempting to give in to climate doom and defeatism.
