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 has reviewed over 25 years of Antarctic data, finding that ozone concentrations near the ground emerged from human-related sources and natural ones. The levels were higher than expected. Most ozone exists around 9-18 miles above Earth in the ...
Microplastic pollution threatens not only the environment but our lives, too. If we’re finally trying to solve this problem, we need to raise awareness as much as possible and find some better ways of tracking microplastics. A new study aims ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
As new research emerges, we learn how significant trees are for our planet. Biologists from West Virginia University released a paper discussing how trees worldwide consume more and more carbon dioxide than previously believed. Forests are now more important in ...
We usually link food contamination to bacteria on unwashed vegetables or fruits, or uncooked meat. Unfortunately, there are more ways for dangerous contaminants to exist in food. A researcher examined food contamination originating from the soil where the plants grow. ...
Nature-based solutions might sound like unknown territory for some, but it shouldn’t stay like this anymore. They play a vital role in helping to control nature and even the climate crisis. The best part is that nature-based solutions, also known ...
Recent research indicates how much energy from renewables Europe has created. And the results are genuinely intriguing. First, let’s say that the new report reaches the EU’s electricity demands a lot. According to energy analysts, last year Europe has made ...
Soil health is as significant as water or air quality. There are approximately 50,000 species of micro-organism/gram of soil, and we shouldn’t ignore this. Any addition of certain microbes can shape the soil traits, such as boosting fertility, turning barren ...
Microplastics represent a threat to oceans, and it has been proved how much danger can cause to aquatic organisms and humans. A new technique aims to fight that by eliminating one of the biggest contributors: the microfibers from our clothes. ...
