This post is the occasion to continue the series of posts I initiated some time ago on the “let’s face the truth about climate change mitigation” theme. The ultimate goal of these posts is obviously not to suggest any definitive answer to the question: is it possible to mitigate climate change, only to give some [...]

Weird that sometimes the same news is revealed simultaneously in several countries. The latest I have noticed deals with those little, insignificant appliances that we leave on stand-by instead of unplugging them (or switching them off). It might be nothing, one could think. After all, what does a diode consume? Almost nothing… Right. This reminds [...]

This post will be the first of a series, aiming at giving you a fair idea of what would be needed to effectively mitigate climate change. Let me first emphasize our core belief: global warming and the resultant climate change are anthropogenic, meaning human-induced. Some might argue that no, everything is a question of natural [...]
