The Urban Heat Island and Urban Cool Island: A Few Examples for U.S. Major Metropolitan Areas

I’ve been spending recent months applying our novel methodology of quantifying the urban heat island (UHI) effect on surface air temperature, now using Landsat-based Impervious Surface (IS) cover fraction as a proxy for urbanization. This is an adaptation of our published research using population density (PD) as a proxy for urbanization, in which we showed that about

Australia’s “green energy” experiment has turned one of the most energy-rich countries into a high‑cost outlier that guts businesses that once anchored its prosperity.

President Trump recently signed an Executive Order invoking the Defense Production Act to ensure increased domestic supplies of elemental phosphorus – a critical component of glyphosate-based herbicides that are vital for America’s non-organic crop productivity and thus national security.    The EO has rekindled anti-pesticide activism and public concern about glyphosate, which used to be the primary ingredient in Roundup for home use but was changed following numerous class action lawsuits. It’s also created internal conflicts within the
