A recent study conducted by a team including a scientist from Oregon State University has put forward a new perspective on using trees to combat climate change. The study suggests that the process requires more than just mass planting, emphasizing the importance of natural forest regeneration alongside tree planting efforts. The research, published in the […]
The European hotel industry has been grappling with the impacts of climate change, and a new joint study by Booking.com and Statista sheds light on this pressing issue. The study reveals that a significant 41% of European hoteliers anticipate considerable climate change impacts in the next three years. Despite this, an alarming 75% of them […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Dust Storms, also known as sandstorms, are meteorological phenomena characterized by strong winds lifting large amounts of dust and sand particles into the atmosphere, reducing visibility and often causing significant environmental and health impacts. These storms are common in arid and semi-arid regions, where loose soil and sparse vegetation […]
Last Sunday etched its name in the annals of history as the hottest day ever recorded on our planet. The average global temperature soared to 17.09 degrees Celsius, surging past the previous record set in 2023. This stark statistic underscores the increasing severity of climate change, which is largely driven by human activity. Copernicus Director […]
Climate change has become an undeniable reality, with its effects being felt across the globe. One of the primary causes of climate change is the emission of greenhouse gases due to the burning of fossil fuels. This has led to an alarming increase in extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods, and hurricanes. The impacts […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights The Great Barrier Reef, a sprawling ecosystem off the northeastern coast of Australia, is the largest coral reef system in the world, stretching over 2,300 kilometers and comprising nearly 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands. This natural wonder, often described as one of the most complex and diverse ecosystems […]
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the auspices of the federal government, has recently allocated $328 million to the state of Colorado. This funding is to be used for climate pollution control projects, including efforts to control methane emissions from coal mines and retrofitting large buildings to be more energy-efficient. The recipients of these grants, […]
Southwest Airlines, a major US carrier, has been grappling with a unique yet potentially dangerous issue of soda cans exploding mid-flight. This phenomenon is attributed to extreme temperatures, which cause the cans to warp and subsequently burst open upon being opened. Interestingly, this exploding cans problem seems to be exclusive to Southwest, possibly due to […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Teleconnections, a large-scale patterns of climate variability that span vast geographic areas, linking weather and climate conditions in distant regions through atmospheric and oceanic processes. These connections, akin to invisible threads weaving through the fabric of our planet’s climate system, play a crucial role in shaping regional weather patterns […]
Caribbean officials are urging for increased funding and assistance to combat the intensified impacts of climate change, particularly in the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Beryl. The plea for support comes as the region wrestles with the economic and infrastructural vulnerability of its small islands. Virginia Albert-Poyotte, the delegate for St. Lucia, emphasized the need […]
