Yeti has a rather cool new cooler out, the Hopper(r) M30 uses a magnetic seal. Although it might be a bit gimmicky, it should work much better than the heavy (klunky) zippers. They say that it is nearly leak proof. GearJunky does a nice review of the M30. For $299.99 at high quality sporting goods stores like Dicks, you too can have one. Yeti is a $2.5B market cap company, up about 70% from its…
Study of ancient caves in Europe show how high sea levels should rise when temps go up 3 or 4 degree C. You can figure about 20 to 60 feet (7 to 20 meters). A study published in Nature looks at what water levels might look like in a +3 world. The article is summed up in Phys.org…. Scientists discover evidence for past high-level sea rise. Of course, you can always model the global warming…

There’s a great study out related to letting people eat processed foods, as much as they want, verses giving people healthy food… as much as they want. Personally, I wonder if the salt alone is not part of the problem. Those people who eat processed foods for the required 15 days, eat more and gained more weight. This seemed like an exceptionally well designed study. One group did the 15 days healthy first, then junk-y…
SustainZine (SustainZine.com) blogged about a rather cool idea on the decentralization of power (here). The idea in Nature Communications is to have buildings everywhere use their renewable power sources to generate a biofuel of some type. And the authors had the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) unit extract CO2 from the atmosphere to generate the fuel. Some of the technologies they pointed to were new-er technologies that are now (hopefully) making their way into…
