Utilities must use climate models to avoid building in future wildfire zones
“If you're working on an IRP, you should be looking at a climate model so that you're not building next generation transmission through an area that might be green and wooded today, but in 15 years we expect to be a high threat wildfire zone.”
Reinhart: Climate models demand 70% to 80% methane cuts by 2050
“And so the climate models are fundamentally depending on us Dramatically cutting methane by, you know, every model's different, but 70, 80% by 20 50, or by 2100.”
Future droughts will unveil more dinosaur tracks in Texas
“All of the sort of climate models show that this is not going to be the last severe drought in that part of the world far from it. And so I think we can expect that a lot more dinosaur tracks will be unveiled at that park in in coming years.”
Natale: Most climate models omit permafrost or ignore abrupt thaw and wildfires
“Many of the models either don't include permafrost at all. The very few that do don't account for these abrupt ground collapses that are happening. They don't account for the impact of wildfire and permafrost, which can greatly accelerate thaw.”
Sikorsky: Predictive climate models offer security community 5-to-15-year threat foresight
“With climate, I mean, we have models that will show us five, 10, 15 years down the road at different temperature levels, what to expect. And so those predictive capabilities are a huge power that we have and tool for us to use in, in the security community.”
