Anyone has a non paywalled version of this?

The presidents of WashU, Arizona State, Kansas, and Johns Hopkins, in concert with the Association of American Universities, helped draft a new version of last year's White House compact. “We’d much rather be a partner than play the guessing game as we have been,” Kansas' president told Bloomberg.

According to DW, the US and Europe have "similar climates" I guess we have no editors anymore and we can just make up stuff. Why Germans don't have air conditioning share.google/SvUsuKXcj9iw...

Why Germans don't have air conditioning

Unlike the US or parts of Asia, many homes in Germany and northern Europe aren't equipped to deal with extreme heat. But as the world gets hotter, trends are changing.

In light of Europe's heatwave, our piece in The Conversation: when AC fails or was never installed, even healthy young adults face survivability risk indoors, not only the elderly. Bldg codes should require new homes to keep occupants alive through 72 hours of extreme heat bsky.app/profile/us.t...

The Conversation U.S.@us.theconversation.com · last mo.

If your power went out during a heat wave, how long would your home stay safe? Engineering researchers found many homes can become dangerously hot within just a few days, even for young, healthy adults. theconversation.com/heat-waves-c...

Did AI write this? "... air-to-air [heat pumps] can also remove heat from inside your home to outside, in a very similar process to standard AC. I don't know if I should laugh or cry.... www.euronews.com/2026/05/26/c...

Heat pumps vs AC: Which is the best way to stay cool during heatwaves?

Europe consumes huge amounts of electricity and generates tonnes of CO2 through cooling. Could heat pumps save us during the next heatwave?

Hello friends, I'm looking to talk with an expert in the health impacts of energy technologies. Someone with expertise in spatially-resolved estimation of disease and mortality impacts, mainly from burning fossil fuels, but also from clean(er) energy supply chains. Would love suggestions.

Here is the CO2 emission intensity of electricity in Texas and California, in grams of CO2 per kWh generated. Texas electricity in 2024 was dirtier than California electricity in 1990. Texas electricity in 2024 was, on average, no better than a grid run entirely on natural gas combined cycle plants.

I’m trying to convince my institution that’s it’s worthwhile to be on Bluesky, so I volunteered to setup an account and posted at @soest.hawaii.edu. Please do me a favor and follow the account, share and like some posts before my meeting to discuss the account tomorrow. @joshuajfriedman.com

For the first time ever, heat pumps outsold gas boilers in Germany in 2025. 48% of all new heating systems installed last year were heat pumps. Gas fell to just 39%. A decade ago, heat pumps had a 7% market share. The transformation has been remarkable.

For non-nerds who didn't follow Iberian blackout coverage closely, it's hard to convey how completely anti-renewable pundits led reporters - from national media down to self-styled "energy wonk" podcasters - down a totally irrelevant rabbit hole by just yelling "INERTIA" over and over.

Kevin J. Kircher@kevinjkircher.com · 5mo ago

The final report on last April's Spain/Portugal blackout is out. A few takeaways: - Lack of "inertia" due to too few fossil/nuclear generators - the thing anti-renewable pundits immediately blamed without evidence, then reporters breathlessly endlessly repeated - played essentially no role.

Awesome. We can do air quality faster than expected. Carbon emissions are next. LFG!!!

Now more than ever, it’s important to understand how energy, climate, and environment are inextricably linked to finance and geopolitics. It’s a great time to follow some awesome journalists focused on those topics here. It’s free!
