Denver is grappling with major health risks due to the escalation in temperatures and heatwaves, a direct consequence of climate change. These high temperatures pose a significant menace to everyone, most notably the elderly, children, outdoor workers, individuals with preexisting health conditions, and those lacking adequate home cooling. As the climate warms, the risks associated […]
The aviation industry is making significant efforts to mitigate its climate impact. The primary focus is on decreasing carbon emissions and contrails, both of which contribute considerably to global warming. This comes in the wake of an alarming 2021 study that revealed contrails may account for more than half of aviation’s climate impact. This finding […]
The Role of Direct Air Capture Technology in Combating Climate Change The fight against climate change has ushered in an era of innovative technologies, one of which is Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. An exemplary instance of this technology being put to use is at the Mammoth, a carbon capture and storage plant in Iceland. […]
Climate change is having a noticeable impact on the comfort and safety of our daily lives, particularly in the Midwest. The increase in global temperatures is causing an uptick in humidity, resulting in summers that feel uncomfortably sticky. This is not just an inconvenience; it’s a significant change in our environment with far-reaching implications. In […]
In an exciting development for renewable energy initiatives, the Global Climate Finance Centre (GCFC) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) have recently announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to make renewable energy initiatives more accessible and scalable, a much-needed step to effectively combat climate change. The partnership will primarily focus on enhancing market […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection focus on River Flow Patterns. Rivers are the arteries of our planet, channeling life-sustaining water through landscapes, nourishing ecosystems, and supporting human civilizations. The patterns of river flow—the timing, volume, and variability of water movement—are governed by a complex interplay of climatic, geological, and ecological factors. Traditionally, river flow patterns […]
Climate change, a global concern that has been dominating discussions in recent years, is causing significant shifts in global rainfall patterns. These changes have far-reaching effects, including intensifying typhoons and other tropical storms. Recently, countries like China, Taiwan, and the Philippines have been at the receiving end of these changing weather patterns. They experienced the […]
Air New Zealand recently made headlines as the first major airline to abandon its 2030 goal for reducing carbon emissions. The decision came as a result of obstacles in procuring efficient aircraft and sustainable jet fuel. However, despite this setback, the airline is in the process of conceptualizing a new short-term target and remains steadfast […]
The wine industry, like many other sectors, is feeling the marked impacts of climate change. Various regions globally are grappling with the devastating effects of wildfires, harsh winters, and unpredictable spring frosts. These climatic challenges, while posing significant threats to vineyards and wine production, are also ushering in unexpected benefits and prompting innovative changes in […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection focus on Paleoclimatology, the scientific study of Earth’s ancient climates, is a field that offers profound insights into the natural variability and long-term trends of our planet’s climate system. This discipline involves the meticulous examination of natural archives such as ice cores, tree rings, sediment layers, and coral reefs to […]
