Amid the multifaceted impacts of climate change, a new study in the Nature journal Climate and Atmospheric Science forecasts an unsettling scenario: less frequent but larger and more devastating hailstorms. The study was led by Victor Gensini, a researcher specializing in severe storms. Using weather models and supercomputers, the team simulated future hailstorms under the […]

In July 2024, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released an assessment revealing that 35% of the global oceans were experiencing marine heatwaves (MHWs). This alarming percentage was the 14th highest ranking in almost 400 months of observation. NOAA, the authority on all things marine and atmospheric, also shared their forecasts for the rest […]

The Impact of Climate Change on Wild Blueberries Climate change is impacting industries and ecosystems across the globe, including the wild blueberry industry in Maine. This year, the wild blueberry harvest was a month early due to changing weather patterns, necessitating adjustments to farming practices. This shift is significant considering that the wild blueberry industry […]

Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) and Montana Technologies recently announced a milestone collaboration with the development of CIC’s renewable hydrogen production modules. The partnership is a strategic move towards the development and manufacture of these modules in Australia, with prospects for future global expansion. Montana Technologies, in collaboration with GE Vernova, has been commercializing the AirJoule® […]

A significant development in the battle against environmental degradation is the recent collaboration between the meat industry and environmental organizations, aiming to reduce the ecological footprints left by the former. This collaboration led to the establishment of The Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, an organization offering guidelines for environmental improvement within the meat industry. The […]

This week’s Climate Change Poster Collection focus on Migration of Fish Species. Migration is a fundamental behavior in many fish species, driven by the need to find optimal conditions for feeding, breeding, and survival. Traditionally, fish migration patterns have been relatively stable, influenced by factors such as water temperature, salinity, and the availability of prey. Many […]

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 […]
