The global pandemic lockdown has contributed to declines in carbon emission and is shifting the way scientists and economists discuss climate change mitigation tactics, but it’s still not enough to prevent projected temperature increases past 1.5°C.
Continue reading Global Lockdown for All – Except Carbon Emissions
At a research station in East Antarctica, scientists recorded something unprecedented for the frozen continent: a heatwave. Continue reading Scientists Record East Antarctica’s First Heatwave
A team from the University of Colorado Boulder finds a new way to measure how much extra snow can be produced by cloud seeding. Continue reading Researchers Use Cloud Seeding to Make it Rain
The Earth has warmed so much since the 1950s that scientists can detect climate change from literally any day of global weather since 2012.

A research team from the University of South Australia has new evidence to suggest that the Antarctic ice sheet could be melting faster than previously thought – which means sea levels will rise more quickly. Continue reading The Antarctic Ice Sheet Could Melt Faster Than Predicted
There are many reasons why you might want house plants. Cleaning your indoor air probably shouldn’t be one of them. Read @Jordan Wilkerson’s article to learn why! Continue reading House Plants Don’t Really Clean Indoor Air
Turkish engineer and activist Bülent Şık was convicted and sentenced to 15 months in jail for publishing confidential results of a government study. His team discovered poisonous chemicals in food and water samples, linked to the high cancer incidence in western Turkey. Continue reading Turkish Environmental Researcher Imprisoned for Publicizing Cancer Study
Recently, scientists revealed that bacteria were able to produce a climate cooling gas, which could be useful in mitigating climate change Continue reading New AC for the summer? Bacteria produces climate-cooling gas
Using fossil fuels has led to climate change; however, trees can erase some damage. By maximizing forest coverage on Earth, scientists predict that the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere could be reduced by a quarter—back to levels from a hundred years ago.
