Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Thermokarst lakes. A striking and increasingly significant feature in the Arctic and sub-Arctic landscapes, formed by the thawing of permafrost—ground that has remained frozen for at least two consecutive years. These lakes emerge when the ice-rich permafrost melts, causing the ground to subside and create depressions that subsequently fill […]

Recent research has brought to light a startling revelation: global warming is causing the days to lengthen. This surprising effect is due to the melting of polar ice sheets and the resulting redistribution of mass on Earth’s surface. It is a clear indication of the planetary-scale impact of human-induced climate change. The Earth’s day length […]

Climate change projections for small island states are currently limited due to the lack of fine-resolution models. This insufficiency in data and projections presents a pressing concern for these vulnerable regions. As such, there is an urgent call for global and regional collaboration to develop climate projections that are compatible with the scales of these […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Fisheries and aquaculture, essential components of global food systems and economies. Fisheries refer to the harvesting of fish and other aquatic organisms from natural habitats such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, while aquaculture, also known as fish farming, involves the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants […]

The exposure of French prison inmates to climate change and other environmental threats is alarmingly high, as per a report by Notre Affaire à Tous, an environmental NGO. The report, which scrutinized nearly 200 penal institutions across France, unveiled that every single one is susceptible to extreme weather conditions. These harsh conditions, including but not […]

In an effort to make communities more resilient in the face of post-disaster scenarios, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is taking proactive measures. These include raising buildings above floodplains to lessen the risk and impact of potential floods. This initiative comes in the wake of an executive order by President Joe Biden that broadened […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Plant phenology, the study of the timing of life cycle events in plants such as flowering, leaf-out, and fruiting, serves as a sensitive indicator of environmental changes. As the climate warms, these phenological events are occurring earlier in the year, disrupting the delicate balance of ecosystems. This shift is […]

Tractor Supply Co. has recently made waves with its surprising decision to retract its carbon emission reduction targets and abandon diversity-focused job positions and objectives. This move marks a significant shift from the company’s previous commitments, which had included stern warnings to investors about potential adverse effects on the business should it fail to meet […]

The automotive industry could potentially lead the market for low-carbon steel production in Europe, as per NGO Transport & Environment (T&E). This is conditional on lawmakers setting content requirements. Embracing green steel production could substantially reduce CO2 emissions from European car production by 6.9 Mt in 2030. This is equivalent to the emissions of 3.5 […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Global wind patterns, the large-scale movement of air across the Earth’s surface, are fundamental to the regulation of our planet’s climate and weather systems. These patterns are driven by the uneven heating of the Earth’s surface by the sun, creating pressure differences that cause air to move. Traditionally, these […]
