Hot days ahead can increase fire danger with dry vegetation

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:19:04 GMT

MORRISON, Colo. (KDVR) - Hot days are coming after plenty of wet weather, and now the thriving vegetation can become a fire danger."That means that the fuels have grown very rapidly, but in just a few days of hot, dry and windy weather, we can see those conditions change very, very quickly," Inter-Canyon Fire Battalion Chief Daniel Hatlestad said. How are firefighters containing the Spring Creek wildfire? All the green vegetation that is thriving after a wet spring can go brown and crispy, according to Hatlestad.While fire danger might not be high now, he is reminding folks to literally not play with fire."Things like their charcoal grill or any activities outdoors: a chainsaw, an ATV, that can start a fire very rapidly," Hatlestad said.It's an important reminder, not just for the safety of vulnerable communities, but for the people who keep us safe when disaster strikes."Firefighters on the line burn 6,000 to 8,000 calories a day and require a tremendous amount of fluids to maint...

The King and I: Joe Biden and Charles III to bond over tea and eco-activism at Windsor Castle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:19:04 GMT

LONDON — What does a British king have in common with the son of a car salesman from Scranton, Pennsylvania? Quite a lot, it turns out.When U.S. President Joe Biden arrives at Windsor Castle on Monday he will renew an acquaintance with King Charles III which stretches back decades.Biden has made a point of stopping off in Britain on his way to this week’s NATO summit in Lithuania to fulfill a first bilateral reception with Charles since he ascended the throne, alongside talks with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Downing Street. The president missed the king’s coronation in May, where the U.S. was represented by First Lady Jill Biden, and chose not to visit Great Britain during his trip to Ireland and Northern Ireland in April.Biden and Charles come from wildly different backgrounds but are of a similar generation — the king is six years Biden’s junior — and share a strong commitment to tackling climate change, as well as a deeply-held love of Ireland and Irish culture.

How will Europe bring back solar manufacturing?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:19:04 GMT

Industry policy is the new kid in school. Looking at Brussels’ jumbled debate around the EU Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA), it’s clear there’s a learning curve. Some confuse industrial policy with decarbonization of industries, others see a rerun of the EU sustainability taxonomy, many want to invoke the EU’s famous ‘technology-neutrality’ — diluting the focus and opening the door to any and all technology. Growing pains.The solar sector is painfully aware of what industrial policy is. The experience of the 2010s is tattooed onto the sector’s DNA. Europe started the decade as a solar PV powerhouse. Then, the EU reacted to ramped-up Chinese industrial policy with import tariffs on solar panels. It didn’t help Europe’s solar manufacturers, and it contributed to a steep decline of European solar deployment. China’s strategy to scale up its solar supply chains was anything but technology-neutral. Europe’s defensive response was at best ineffective, at worse counterproductive. Lesson...

What happens when HIV becomes a crime

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:19:04 GMT

LONDON — James’ life was irrevocably changed the day his name, photo, address and place of work were plastered on a news website beneath the accusation that he was being charged with infecting his former partner with HIV. It wasn’t the start of the living nightmare he found himself in — that had begun two years earlier when the police in England interviewed James following an allegation being made against him by his former partner. Nor was it the end. It would take another three years before James’ case was dropped in 2018. But the news that the case was no longer being pursued didn’t bring him much relief. He was angry. “There is no way I would recover my reputation … My life had been suspended for five years,” James, whom we’ve granted anonymity to speak openly about his case, told EU Confidential’s In Focus mini-series podcast. “So when I heard the news, it made me more angry actually, and say, ‘Why did this not come earlier? Why did they wait so long to...
