Editor’s note: Unfortunately, we’re already seeing examples of global heating leading to the burning of more fossil fuels, which of course is creating more global heating. It’s a vicious cycle. Here’s the latest example. U.S. power plant operators generated 6.9 million megawatthours (MWh) of electricity from natural gas on a … [continued]
