The product of a unique collaboration between a pioneering earth scientist and an award-winning science writer, Fixing Climate takes an unconventional approach to the problem of global warming--and offers a possible solution. Hailed by his colleagues as "one of the our greatest living geoscientists," Wallace S. Broecker, a longtime researcher at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, warned about the possible consequences of global warming decades before it became a compelling public issue. Hooked on climate studies since his student days, he has learned, largely through his own findings, that climate does change--naturally, dramatically, and rarely benignly. He also knows from experience that when mankind pushes nature as we are currently doing by dumping some sixty to seventy million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every day, climate will change even more dramatically and less benignly. As Broecker points out, if a well-meaning fairy godmother were to turn us all into energy-saving paragons at the stroke of midnight tonight, the resulting reduction in atmospheric carbon dioxide might lessen but could not turn aside the great warming tide now headed our way. There is, nonetheless, a glimmer of hope in the development of new technologies that are directed not only at the reduction of carbon dioxide output but also at its harmless disposal.

One USB-C Port Was Not Enough
I inherited an old MacBook Air that only has one USB-C port, which is a problem when that same port is being used for charging. If it was plugged in, I couldn’t connect anything else. This little adapter solved that problem. Now I can keep the MacBook charging and still plug in the extra devices I need. Simple, compact, and does exactly what I bought it for.

Need more USB-C ports AND passthrough power?
Style: 4-in-1 USB-C Hub
This hub is very handy if you need to use multiple USB-C peripherals but still need passthrough power for your laptop, 65 watts in my case. I have not experienced any noticeable difference in transfer speeds or heat. Typical Belkin high quality, all the ports are tight and connections feel secure. I want to note that this unit will NOT allow HDMI functions via USB-C. I still need to plug my external display directly into the other USB-C port on my laptop. The only downside is that the surface of the hub is a high gloss black, which will scuff like crazy the first time you toss it into your backpack or set it on the table. Does not at all effect functionality but can be annoying for some. Otherwise, this is now one of my essential daily tech accessories.

Reduced Connecting To Desk Setup from four plugins to one.
Style: 8-in-1 USB-C Hub
Works great! Plugged in Ethernet, HDMI, USB-C power, and a USB-A Hub containing KBD,Mouse, two phone chargers, and worked first try without any configuring. Now only one plug to connect when the laptop is brought to the desk. Perfect!
