“One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between man and nature shall not be broken” - Leo Tolstoy

In our previous article on climate change, we looked into the local-level strategy that the UK government is adopting to create a more sustainable future. We now turn our gaze to the global story.

The Strategy of Climate Change - have a look into how governments are reacting to this change.

We are witnessing a gradual global awakening to the realities of climate change. Governments understand that the focus is on them to take the lead in providing an economic and social climate that can steer businesses and individuals onto a new path of sustainability. If the course that the government is steering is right for both our economy and climate is far from certain. What is certain however is that change is needed.

The Dawn of a new Climate

The world’s climate has always been in a state of change, including seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat in the last 650,000 years, with the last ice age ending relatively recently, a mere 11,700 years ago. These changes are largely attributed to very minor changes in the world’s orbit that affect the levels of solar radiation reaching our planet.

During this year we have seen some unprecedented high temperatures around the world. To some they come as a welcome chance to relax in a local park, while enjoying a refreshingly cool beverage or ice lolly. To others, they bring a host of unprecedented economic, social and health risks and challenges.

You know where you are with the OpenWeather Geocoding API!

The OpenWeather APIs use geographic coordinates to give our users the accuracy they require, however converting a user defined location into longitude and latitude is far from a straightforward process.

The process of receiving accurate weather information starts with being able to specify the required location itself.

OpenWeather has developed a deceptively simple and easy to use API that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Known as geocoding, it gives you the ability to convert any location name into geographical coordinates, and vice versa.

How to shed light on your energy needs with the OpenWeather Solar Radiation API Historical data

The photons released by the sun, despite their 93 million mile journey, can provide enough light energy in a day to feed our global energy needs for a year. The solar cells that capture these photons are being developed for a wide range of applications and situations, including cost effective and lightweight cells that can be easily integrated into the structure of buildings.
Calculating the solar array size and storage needed to supply sufficient energy to a home, business or large solar array relies on understanding the historic level of solar energy available at the particular location.
