In a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers from the University of St. Andrews and Oregon State University, it has been found that the rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is ten times faster than at any point in the last 50,000 years. This startling revelation underscores the impact of human carbon emissions on climate […]
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, a notable climatic phenomenon that significantly impacts global weather patterns, plays a substantial role in Latin America’s climate. Due to the region’s geographical location and heavy reliance on agriculture, the variations between warmer and cooler ocean temperatures in the ENSO cycle present substantial risks. The insurance sector provides a […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Circular Economy. The concept of a circular economy is rapidly gaining traction as a sustainable alternative to the traditional linear economy, which follows a ‘take, make, dispose’ model. In contrast, a circular economy emphasizes the need to design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and […]
Vermont is paving the way for environmental accountability in the United States with its plans to pass the Climate Superfund Act. This ground-breaking legislation requires oil and gas giants to pay for environmental damage, with the costs determined based on their emissions from 1995 to 2024. The bill is a bold step towards holding fossil […]
A recent study conducted by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) has revealed a concerning lack of awareness among the public about the impact of their dietary habits on climate change. Alarmingly, the research revealed that only one in 25 adults recognized the connection between what they eat and its impact on the environment. […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection features Urban Planning, which plays a pivotal role in the fight against climate change, a fact that has become increasingly clear as the impacts of a warming planet manifest in cities around the world. The way we design, build, and manage our urban spaces directly influences our carbon footprint, affecting […]
The escalating urgency of combating climate change has compelled scientists and environmentalists to contemplate innovative solutions. One such solution that has garnered significant attention is pumping carbon dioxide (CO2) underground. This method can drastically reduce the quantities of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, subsequently curbing climate change. Despite the promising potential of this method, its […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Biochar, a carbon-rich substance produced through the pyrolysis of organic materials, has emerged as a promising tool in the fight against climate change. This process involves heating organic matter, such as wood, agricultural waste, or animal manure, in a low-oxygen environment, resulting in a highly stable and porous material […]
Global warming is taking a massive toll on various species worldwide, with bumblebees being no exception. These vital pollinators are facing significant challenges due to the rising temperatures, including the threat of nest overheating. This issue is raising concerns about potential population declines. Peter Kevan, a renowned scientist, has recently shed light on a possible […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Green Roofs, also known as living roofs or eco-roofs, are a type of roofing system that involves the installation of vegetation and growing media on the tops of buildings. In the face of climate change, cities around the world are seeking innovative solutions to mitigate its effects and create […]
