Making the Mean Cookie was a pain in the ass. Some of the butter was cold, some room temperature, some melted. You try to measure out 0.17 tbsp. of water or bake at 354.17�F for 13.04 min. Simon thought the idea was so hilarious that his Las Vegas kitchen basically stopped when I told him about it and immediately made them...
...city is ensuring that it will be ready for a warmer world. The Bloomberg administration began by creating a homegrown version of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Those scientists reported that by the end of the century, annual mean temperatures in New York City could increase 7.5�F (13.6�C), with sea levels rising as much as 55 in. (140 cm), depending on how fast polar ice melts. "Coastal floods will be very powerful and very damaging," says Cynthia Rosenzweig, a NASA researcher and co-chair of the New York climate panel...
...effective batteries, those currently available impose severe limits on the plane's weight. "With twice the battery capacity, we'd have a different plane," he says. And perhaps a more comfortable one: HB-SIA's pilot will sit in an unheated, unpressurized cockpit, in which he'll encounter -76�F (-60�C) temperatures at high altitude. In order to lighten the plane's load further, Boschberg has already gone on a diet...
Some of the big champagne houses are looking a little farther north for their next harvest--across the English Channel. Climate change has raised the average temperature in Champagne during the growing season 2.2�F (1.2�C) over the past 50 years, altering the cool temperatures that give balance to the champagne produced there, says Gregory Jones, a climatologist at Southern Oregon University. "With such temperatures you could make a Burgundy or Bordeaux, rather than champagne," he says. Today southern England has roughly the same climate that Champagne did 25 years ago--and the same chalky soil in those famous...
...great deal of good. The BioScience paper, which aggregated years' worth of other studies, reported that green roofs can cut heat loss from a building 50%, reduce air-conditioning costs 25% and reduce the so-called urban-heat-island effect--the tendency of cities to retain heat--by 3.6�F (2�C...
