HISTORIC: WETTEST NOVEMBER/SPRING DAY EVER RECORDED IN NORTHERN TERRITORY from #Cyclone #Fina

Middle Point (inland of #Darwin) recorded *430mm*. Smashes the territory record of 344.2mm in 1970. Exceptional even for peak wet season.

**4th wettest November day NATIONALLY**

Very true - Always hard to explain this.

[Dr. Robert Rohde @RARohde]

Weather models are good for only 7-10 days at most.

And yet, we can confidently predict that summer will be warmer than winter. That's true both from experience and from physics.

Climate science helps to determine what aspects of earth's weather can be predicted long-term.

@AirFranceFR bonjour, est-ce que les règles concernant les poussettes ont changé ? On nous a demandé de déposer la poussette en bagage en soute avant la salle d’embarquement. Avant on la déposait devant l’avion. L’attente est plus compliquée avec un bébé dans les bras !

New technology extracts lithium from brines inexpensively and sustainably

Researchers @Stanford have invented  new method for extracting lithium from salty water. This new way is a more efficient, cheaper, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional lithium production. It also may help solve lithium supply chain issues.

Global demand for lithium has surged in recent years, driven by the rise of electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. The dominant source of lithium extraction today evaporates the brines in huge ponds under the sun for a year or more, leaving behind a lithium-rich solution. (see image) Then the heavy use of potentially toxic chemicals finishes the job.

The new study reports on the results of a new method using an approach known as “redox-couple electrodialysis” or RCE along with cost estimates.

“The benefits to efficiency and cost innate to our approach make it a promising alternative to current extraction techniques and a potential game changer for the lithium supply chain,” said @yicuistanford, the study’s senior author and a professor of materials science and engineering.

The researchers estimated the cost of their new approach to be around $3,500 to $4,400 per ton of high purity lithium hydroxide, which can be converted to battery-grade lithium inexpensively. Current lithium extraction from brine costs of about $9,100 per ton. The current market price for battery-grade lithium carbonate is almost $15,000 per ton, but a shortage in late 2022 drove the volatile lithium market price to $80,000.
