Climate Change:

Economic losses from weather extremes amplify each other

-

Weather extremes can cause economic ripples along our supply chains. If they occur at roughly the same time the ripples start interacting and can amplify even if they occur at completely different places around the world, a new study shows.

Climate change:

IPCC warns: 1.5 degrees will be reached before the end of this decade

-

The Earth's surface temperature could be 1.5 degrees higher than in the pre-industrial era by 2030. It is the time to act, IPCC scientists agree with environmental and energy groups.

Temperature coefficient becoming key in the buying decision

-

Usually, the efficiency of photovoltaic modules is one of the main criteria when deciding to buy. The relationship between increasing module temperature and the lower power resulting from this, in other words the temperature coefficient, is becoming more important because of the extremely hot summers that are occurring more frequently.
