Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Bioengineering, the application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering to create usable, tangible, economically viable products, has emerged as a promising field in the fight against climate change. This interdisciplinary science offers innovative solutions that could mitigate the adverse effects of global warming and help build […]
Florida has recently taken steps to direct textbook publishers to exclude specific terminology from their educational materials in order to maintain their market access in the state. Terms such as “critical race theory,” “social-emotional learning,” and “diversity, equity and inclusion” are among those being targeted for exclusion. This move by Florida follows a similar pattern […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Forest Pathogens. Forest pathogens are microscopic agents, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses, that cause diseases in trees and other forest plants. These pathogens have always been a part of forest ecosystems, playing roles in natural cycles of growth and decay. However, their impact can be devastating when they infect […]
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a US-based corporation, is pioneering sustainability efforts in the biopharma industry with their innovative plant-based films. The company has developed a new film that has the potential to eliminate carbon emissions from plastic resin. This sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel materials represents a significant leap forward in the quest for […]
Long-distance travel, particularly international journeys, contributes significantly to carbon emissions, even though these types of trips represent only a small fraction of total travel. This finding comes from a recent study conducted by the University of Leeds, which highlights the environmental impact of longer-distance travel. The study reveals that journeys exceeding 50 miles undertaken by […]
Google’s greenhouse gas emissions have seen a significant surge of 48% since 2019, with the primary contributing factor being the energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI). This alarming statistic was disclosed in the company’s 2024 Environmental Report. The report further highlighted the growing energy consumption of Google’s data centers, which power its online services across […]
In an innovative approach to bolster coastal resilience, the University of Miami and 1Print, members of South Florida’s ClimateReady tech hub consortium, are developing 3D printed “sea hives”. This initiative comes as part of a broader plan by the tech hub to pioneer technologies that will help the region adapt to climate change and promote […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Cloud formation, a fundamental atmospheric process that involves the condensation of water vapor into tiny liquid droplets or ice crystals, which cluster together to form clouds. This process begins when warm, moist air rises and cools to its dew point, causing the water vapor to condense around microscopic particles known as […]
Climate change continues to make its devastating mark around the globe, most recently in southern Brazil where record rainfall has led to unprecedented flooding and destruction. The catastrophic floods have upended the lives of around 400,000 people, leading to the emergence of what experts are now calling “climate change refugees.” Among those affected are Maicon […]
The alarming impacts of ocean acidification, caused by elevated levels of carbon dioxide, are becoming increasingly evident in the coral structures of Papua New Guinea. A study by the University of Adelaide has revealed that these coral structures are becoming simpler and less attractive to certain fish species due to acidification. It is important to […]
