According to research that was published recently by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the CO2 levels surged quicker than observed in “the first four months of any other year” during the months ...
Choosing climate-friendly foods is simpler than you would imagine, especially if you are concerned about the environment, climate change, and sustainability. But where to start? Researchers developed an algorithm to calculate the environmental impact of 57,000 food items using publicly ...
A new study delivers a ‘warning to humanity,’ urging swift action to preserve the planet’s 60,000 tree species. The trees’ future seems bleak. Significant biodiversity losses would result from the widespread extinction of tree species. About 75 % of bird ...
Recent research revealed that more than 58 million Americans had more than 100 days of filthy air in 2020 rated US cities with the worst air pollution levels. Studies published earlier this month, at the California San Diego – Chula ...
Air pollution is cutting years off the lives of billions, a new study found. Nearly three years of life an average human loses due to poor air quality, according to the report. It said coal burnings were a leading factor ...
Scientists are worried about a possible devastating impact on our planet. Their concerns are tied to the Gulf Stream, as the current poses a risk of collapsing. The stream remains one of the main potential tipping points when it comes ...
La Nina is known for its behavior and the fact that it can’t be controlled. It usually brings abnormal air pressure and warm waters to the Pacific Ocean. A new study found that La Nina rises the carbon export from ...
A new study highlights Earth’s current situation and is worse than we previously imagined. According to a team of scientists from NTU Singapore and Cambridge University, our planet experiences something quite peculiar yet shocking. The slow-motion collisions of tectonic plates ...
New report shows that America used fewer fossil fuels last year, including petroleum, natural gas, and coal. What’s more intriguing is that such a result was last recorded three decades ago. According to EIA (the US Energy Information Administration), the ...
Recent reports about two common sunscreen ingredients, octinoxate, and oxybenzone, have stirred quite the buzz. The ingredients are now banned because they threaten the oceans’ health. With climate change shaping Earth’s future and pollution triggering the worst-case scenario we could ...
Reducing carbon emissions might have zero effects on preventing disastrous climate change, scientists warn us. And as shocking as this might sound, it’s the truth, and we have to accept it. Professor Nerilie Abram from the Climate Crisis Advisory Group ...
New research raises awareness of the Galapagos Islands’ current situation. There has been found plastic inside marine animals and in the seawater. Researchers discuss some “hotspots” where over 400 plastic particles were discovered per square meter of beach. And as ...
A group of scientists has published a new plan to save oceans, not only because it’s important, but for our health, too. The new paper includes 35 ambitious first steps for action by various individuals and groups, such as ...
New research unveils the danger Europe’s biggest ice cap faces. Microplastic particles of various materials and sizes have been found in the Vatnajokull glacier. As the microplastic issue threatens Earth increasingly more, researchers raise awareness about it, highlighting the dangers ...
As a new study about noisy environments emerges, we learn that noise pollution affects not only animal behaviour but also plants. As we proliferate, we have invaded the wildlife deeper, developing a huge increase in environmental sound with our industry, ...
Between 2019 and 2020, Australia’s Black Summer bushfires brought destruction to land, animals, and natural habitats, in a terrible unchained hell on Earth. The impact was so huge that it still being measured. Recent data unveils shocking consequences to Earth’s ...
The roof of the world will soon feel warmer than usual. New research explains how much warmer temperatures will transform the Tibetan Plateau. The warming process of the Tibetan Plateau has been observed since the 1960s. According to researchers, human ...
As new research emerges, we learn that oil and natural gas production emit a lot of methane, more than previously estimated. The recent batch of data has been released by the SEAS (the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering ...
The Middle East and North Africa Region, also known as MENA, is now a climate change hot spot. Summers there are much warmer than in the rest of the world. Also, some regions are rated as the hottest locations worldwide. ...
As new research emerges, we learn the Amazon is at risk of collapsing, influencing global climate more than previously thought. Factors, like drought, land clearing, and fires, turned the world’s largest tropical rainforest into a real threat. The research aims ...
Climate change is really triggering the allergy seasons, as per new research findings. In the last three decades, warmer temperatures have caused pollen season in North America to increase, and now we encounter 20 days/year. And as if it wasn’t ...
As new research emerges, we learn mangrove forests have an essential role in storing carbon. Apparently, species diversity in mangrove forests boosts soil carbon storage and biomass production. Such a discovery highlights the inability of preserving biodiversity as a nature-based ...
Global dimming is now a huge concern as the amount of sunlight reaching Earth varies a lot. The first steady decline occurred back in the 1980s in different parts of the world. A new study shows how we are the ...
Chemical pollution threatens Earth and poses short-term and long-term dangers for our health. Ozone, acid rain, greenhouse gases, and other chemicals resulting from our activities are all chemical pollution examples. Recently, an international team of scientists has released a statement ...
The sea levels are still rising, and previous predictions were right. Such a statement came after scientists rigorously verified the early 21st-century climate modelling projections. According to these findings, the sea levels in the coming decades will continue to rise ...
