The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is currently advocating for immediate and critical action to enhance comprehension of aviation contrails and their associated climate impact. As reported by IATA, the science behind contrails is intricate, necessitating more refined, real-time atmospheric data to fully grasp their implications on the environment. According to the report released by […]
The Neurath and Niederaussem coal-fired power plants in Germany are infamous for being among Europe’s largest CO2 emitters. Their extensive carbon footprints reflect a broader issue that the world is currently grappling with – the climate crisis. However, a new proposal outlined in the Climate Damages Tax report could potentially provide a solution. The report […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Underwater Turbines. In the quest for sustainable energy solutions to combat climate change, underwater turbines have emerged as a promising technology with the potential to revolutionize the way we generate electricity. These innovative devices are submerged beneath the surface of the ocean, harnessing the immense power of tides, waves, […]
A recent study led by the World Weather Attribution initiative has made a startling revelation. ccSpecifically, the climate change, largely driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, amplified extreme rainfall events in these countries by 10 to 40% when compared to a world devoid of global warming. Consider the UAE, for instance. The […]
Illinois’ ambitious journey towards green energy recently encountered a significant setback. Despite the state’s substantial efforts to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy, the electricity generated from renewable resources, chiefly wind power, witnessed a decrease. This unexpected trend seems to be an unforeseen roadblock in the state’s path towards a sustainable future. Wind power, standing […]
Scientists had predicted more than five years ago that a global temperature rise of 1.5°C to 2°C would spell doom for coral reefs, causing the death of 70 to 99 percent of these precious ecosystems, respectively. This bleak prediction is largely based on the phenomenon of coral bleaching, a consequence of warm ocean water. Warm […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Vertical Farming. The escalating issue of climate change is paving the way for an urgent need for resilient, sustainable farming practices to ensure global food security. Over the last three decades, vertical farming has been developed as an innovative and sustainable alternative to conventional farming methods, which are highly […]
The popular board game, Catan, is moving with the times and embracing modern environmental concerns with its new version, Catan: New Energies. This fresh take on the classic game puts energy production and its environmental impact at its core, allowing players to navigate the delicate balance between economic growth and environmental responsibility. In this innovative […]
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, has long been a concern in the fight against global warming. With the ability to trap heat 86 times more effectively than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period and 28 times more effectively over a 100-year period, its impact on our planet cannot be ignored. Alarmingly, methane emissions are responsible […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Seagrass, a type of underwater flowering plant, is often overlooked when discussing solutions to climate change. However, these unassuming marine plants play a surprisingly significant role in mitigating the effects of global warming. Found in shallow coastal waters around the world, seagrass meadows are not only visually stunning but […]
