The study, which reviewed over 450 research papers spanning 30 years, highlights the…
A recent study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has identified regions globally experiencing extreme heatwaves surpassing climate model predictions. These anomalies, spanning every continent except Antarctica, have been linked to thousands of deaths, agricultural failures, and severe wildfires in recent years, according to several reports. The…
Hundreds of brush fires and wildfires have sparked all over the New York City region. Hilary Howard, who covers climate change and the environment in the region, explains what’s happening. Check out our Latest News and Follow us at Facebook Original Source
The Earth’s freshwater reserves experienced a sudden decline starting in May 2014 and have remained persistently low, according to findings by an international team of scientists utilising NASA-German satellites. Observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission revealed a significant reduction in freshwater stored on land, including lakes,…
Global carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion have reached an unprecedented peak in 2024, with the Global Carbon Project reporting a projected 37.4 billion tonnes of fossil CO2 emissions, a 0.8% increase from 2023. The report underscores an urgent call for emissions reduction as the world’s annual output of CO2…
A novel strain of cyanobacteria, informally called “Chonkus,” has been identified in hydrothermal waters off Italy’s Vulcano Island, sparking interest for its potential in carbon capture. Discovered during a marine study aimed at collecting water samples from the shallow volcanic vents of Vulcano, this large cyanobacteria, formally designated as strain…
Rresearch has highlighted the significant role of thawing permafrost in contributing to global warming. A study co-authored by NASA scientists sheds light on the release of greenhouse gases from the Arctic region, where vast amounts of carbon have been stored for thousands of years. Permafrost is ground that remains frozen…
Much of the food we eat is grown with synthetic fertilizer, which is a huge source of climate change. But now, a seed with DNA-modified bacteria is reducing the amount of synthetic fertilizer that farmers have to apply to their fields. Eric Lipton, an investigative reporter for The New York…
Injecting diamond dust into the atmosphere could potentially cool the planet by 1.6ºC, according to a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters. Led by Sandro Vattioni, a climate scientist at ETH Zürich, the research explores whether diamonds, as opposed to commonly used materials like sulfur, could offer a safer…
Recent research highlights a troubling rise in atmospheric methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more effective than carbon dioxide (CO2) at trapping heat in the short term. Despite the 2021 Global Methane Pledge, which aims to reduce methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030, current levels are increasing faster than…
