We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Climate Change",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release For he's a jolly young Fellow from
Institution of Mechanical Engineers, which we summarised at the time by saying "Richard Sibbick has become the youngest mechanical engineer to become a Fellow, the highest level of professional recognition from the IMechE".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Wiring stands up to Antarctic conditions from
Metway Electrical Industries: "Metway Electrical Industries has recently secured the order to supply a pre-fabricated wiring system for a scientific research centre in Antarctica".
In January 2008, we covered the news from DeepStream Technologies
concerning its Metering technology
- take a look at A more effective response to climate change
which says: "Mark Crosier argues that industry and utilities should build products that make energy saving an intuitive process".
Take a look also at the news release from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems, The deadliest deadline,
as well as Serving two masters from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems,
and Fuel efficiency is key to combat climate change from Ricardo.
