Wooden skyscraper? This 34-story wood-framed tower could be added to the Stockholm skyline
A design competition for a new residential tower at the center of Stockholm, Sweden has elicited quite the interesting proposal: a skyscraper made of wood. According to a report from Wired, Scandinavian architecture firm C.F. Møller partnered with architect Dinell Johansson and urban consultant Tyréns and designed a 34-story timber-framed tower that, if chosen, would likely […]

German researcher says Global Warming is a dud
This morning’s Spiegel (the German equivalent of Time magazine) has a refreshingly sober interview with Hans von Storch, one of Europe’s top climate researchers, on why global warming is not panning out. The numbers don’t lie.  For the last 15 years atmospheric temperatures have flatlined even as emissions of carbon dioxide have soared. Billions of […]

Concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere hits highest level in “millions of years”
A sobering report from the New York Times says that prolonged efforts to bring carbon dioxide emissions under control “are faltering,” according to new data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Though NOAA’s new data showed only a small increase from the last data, CO2 has reached an averaged daily level of 400 parts per million—a […]

Caterpillar offsets CO2 emissions from Bauma 2010 Stand
Caterpillar today announced that it offset the 1,182 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions created by the 9,500 meters squared Caterpillar Zeppelin stand at bauma. Carbon offsets represent the reduction of greenhouse gases in one location – such as through a project – to offset emissions produced in another. The offsets support a coal mine methane […]
