Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Methane capture, emerging as a pivotal strategy in the global effort to combat climate change, drawing increasing attention for its potential to significantly curb one of the most potent greenhouse gases affecting our planet’s atmosphere. The process entails the collection and containment of methane emissions, which are over 25 […]

As we delve deeper into the digital age, the accuracy of time becomes increasingly important. Duncan Agnew, a geophysicist, has voiced concerns about the potential impact of even a single second’s discrepancy in our interconnected world. This is especially pertinent given the multitude of devices that rely on precise time sharing. Agnew’s concern is rooted […]

Landfills have been identified as the third-largest source of human-caused methane emissions, according to recent studies. These studies highlight that landfills release this potent greenhouse gas at significantly higher rates than previously estimated, thereby contributing considerably to climate change. Surprisingly, methane emissions from landfills are almost triple the rate reported to federal regulators. Methane, despite […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Radiative forcing, a term that describes the imbalance in energy entering and leaving Earth’s atmosphere. Currently, this imbalance results in more energy entering our atmosphere, which in turn causes atmospheric warming. The sun sends sunlight to our planet, and while approximately 30% of this sunlight is reflected back to space, […]

Climate Lab, a Seattle Times initiative, is diligently working to shine the spotlight on the impacts of climate change in the Pacific Northwest. This crucial project, partially funded by The Bullitt Foundation, Mike and Becky Hughes, University of Washington, and Walker Family Foundation, has been pivotal in uncovering the environmental effects of corporate activities in […]

The 2024 Realtor.com Housing and Climate Risk Report delivers an alarming revelation. Almost half of the homes in the United States, amounting to 44.8%, are susceptible to at least one significant climate risk. The financial implications of this susceptibility are staggering, with the combined value of these at-risk homes totaling nearly $22 trillion. To predict […]

“Climateflation,” a term coined by climate economist Gernot Wagner, has begun to gain recognition in the field of climate studies. The term refers to the predicted increase in inflation due to human-induced climate change, a concept highlighted in a recent study. The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the European Central Bank together conducted […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Climate Mitigation. Climate change is an urgent global issue that demands a comprehensive and sustained approach, with climate mitigation standing at the forefront of strategies designed to combat the rise in global temperatures and its potentially catastrophic consequences. At its core, climate mitigation involves a series of deliberate actions […]

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a United Nations weather agency, has raised a grave “red alert” concerning the rapid increase in global warming. The alert brings attention to the record increases in greenhouse gases, land and water temperatures, and the accelerated melting of glaciers and sea ice. According to the WMO, current efforts to reverse […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Solar cells, also known as Photovoltaic cells, have become a household name in the past few years. These ingenious devices convert sunlight into electricity by harnessing the power of the photovoltaic effect. The origins of solar cells can be traced back to the mid-20th century, with the technology first […]
