A discussion centered on tipping points--what they mean in the short- and long-term, how we can use them to our advantage, and why our guests (and probably most scientists) hate using the phrase at all--with MIT CS3 Principal Research Scientist Jennifer Morris and CS3 Senior Research Scientist and Deputy Director C. Adam Schlosser. (Boston College Creative Communication Lab)

For the Philippines, the findings--published in a paper co-authored by MIT Professor/CS3 faculty affiliate Christopher Knittel--raise the possibility of improving grid efficiency while new power plants and transmission projects are being developed (The Daily Tribune)

MIT Professor/CS3 faculty affiliate Christopher Knittel joined this podcast to discuss the costs and benefits of clean energy. "We should continue to subsidize rooftop solar, but we should do it in a way that's not regressive, that is not leaning harder on those homes that cannot install solar," Knittel said. (Climate One)

The state’s 18 million acres of forest, the largest unfragmented tract in the eastern U.S., offsets at least 60 percent of Maine’s overall greenhouse gas emissions annually. But the use of large areas of forest as carbon sinks is more complex when businesses also depend on these areas for timber, says MIT Professor/CS3 faculty affiliate Catherine Wolfram.

MIT Professor/CS3 faculty affiliate Catherine Wolfram said getting natural gas into Massachusetts is crucial to address winter shortages. "Clean energy will help us break the dependence on these volatile fossil fuels, but it's going to take a while for clean energy projects to get built and for relief to show up," Wolfram said.
