The Pond Hockey Classic is a beloved winter tradition for about 2,200 hockey players hailing from Massachusetts. However, this annual event is increasingly under threat due to the impacts of climate change. The escalating issue of inadequate ice thickness, a direct result of warmer winters, has forced this year’s tournament to be relocated from its […]

The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the planet’s lungs, may hit a critical tipping point by 2050, warns a study by the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil. This is largely due to rampant deforestation and the escalating effects of climate change, which could potentially lead to the collapse of the forest system […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), represent a crucial area of study for climate scientists, urban planners, and environmentalists alike. These are defined as metropolitan areas that stand significantly warmer in comparison to the surrounding rural environments. The primary reason for this is urban development and the subsequent waste heat produced from […]

In an era marked by the significant impact of climate change, a recent study has found startling revelations about the survival strategies of polar bears in the Arctic as they grapple with melting sea ice. The study deployed collar cameras on polar bears to closely monitor their behavior as they are increasingly forced to rely […]

This past summer, the Northeastern United States found itself grappling with the worst air quality since the 1960s. The culprit? Smoke from Canadian wildfires, which was carried down by winds and spread across the region. This is not an isolated incident, but rather a symptom of a wider problem. Climate change is causing more frequent […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Habitat fragmentation, a process that involves the destruction of parts of a specific habitat, resulting in smaller, disconnected areas. This process is often due to human activities, such as road construction, which disrupts the natural landscape. The consequences of this environmental issue are severe and wide-ranging, including a decrease in […]

The Florida Legislature is currently pushing for a controversial bill, supported by House Speaker Paul Renner, which aims to remove most mentions of climate change from state law. This development has the potential to significantly alter Florida’s stance on important environmental issues. The proposed legislation, known as House Bill 1645, is poised to introduce sweeping […]

As we grapple with the mounting effects of climate change, a sobering projection is that the air quality in the U.S. is expected to steadily worsen through 2054. This deterioration is attributed to the escalating occurrences of climate change-related events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and droughts. Recent research from the First Street Foundation provides […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) a significant policy designed to augment energy production from renewable sources. These sources encompass wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy. At its core, the RPS mechanism necessitates electricity supply companies to produce a stipulated percentage of their electricity from these renewable sources. The overarching aim of […]

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a fundamental system of ocean currents, is teetering on the brink of collapse. This potential catastrophe is driven by escalating global temperatures, a result of unchecked climate change, according to a revelatory study published in Science Advances. The AMOC, responsible for maintaining the delicate balance of heat and salt […]
