Past research suggests that growing international demand for cooling has the potential to drive one of the most substantial increases in greenhouse gas emissions in recent history. A new study, led by the University of Oxford and published on 19 October in Nature Sustainability , sets out a framework for delivering sustainable cooling.

Several companies, including Gradient where Romanin is CEO (which landed him on the 2021 Grist 50 list ), are developing new AC technologies and approaches that are starting to show what a more efficient, less climate-intensive approach to cooling will look like. “And that absolutely doesn’t need to be true.”

Buying a pre-owned EV presents a new concern for buyers to beware of—the health of the vehicle’s battery. Some older EVs—notable the air-cooled Nissan LEAF—have poor records in this department. All batteries degrade over time, and there’s no simple way for a buyer to know how much of its original range a used EV retains.

A recent study found that Americans could deal with heat waves by … spraying themselves with water and turning on their electric fans. As obvious as cooling off with fans and water sounds, it’s not obvious to all public health departments. Assembling in cooling centers could be deadly during a pandemic.

Metis Engineering’s Battery Safety Sensor is designed to monitor the health of a lithium-ion battery pack and detect cell venting, an early sign of catastrophic battery failure. The sensor can also trigger a process to cut the circuit to the battery pack, allowing it to cool down and hopefully prevent thermal runaway.
