Renewable energy is growing faster than any other form of power, more than 8 percent annually for the past 6 years. This is happening in nearly every country, and for the same reason: renewables are increasingly cost competitive. It has entered into a “virtuous cycle” meaning that the growth in demand forContinue Reading
A team of researchers from the University of East Anglia in the UK say that an analysis of 57 peer-reviewed papers corroborates that climate change is indeed making wildfires worse globally. According to the new analysis, climate change is making wildfires more severe and frequently, thanks to frequent heatwaves and droughts.Continue Reading
A new study in the journal Science has found that the Earth’s oceans are warming far faster than experts had previously predicted, leading to a bleak outlook among climate scientists who say the rapid environmental shifts will lead to international disputes, humanitarian crises and deadly freak weather events. As the greenhouse effectContinue Reading
In a few weeks from now, seasonal forecast for the Indian summer monsoon will be announced. Among various parameters that determine the fate of the monsoon is the sea surface temperature, more specifically, the contrast between land and sea temperatures. But what are the parameters that determine sea surface temperatures?Continue Reading
Solar energy is touted as clean, however, a study by Environmental Progress (EP) warns that toxic waste from solar panels now poses a global environmental threat. Fueled partly by billions in government incentives, the industry is creating millions of solar panels each year and, in the process, millions of poundsContinue Reading
The evidence that people are driving climate change, which will have disastrous repercussions for life on Earth, is overwhelming. Experts began warning about global warming in 1979, a trend now known as climate change, which includes not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations andContinue Reading
Flygskam is a Swedish term for the feeling of being ashamed to fly. The word was coined in 2017 as part of a movement to transform the way we travel, from flight frequency to aircraft technology. The objective is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which scientists believe may triple byContinue Reading
Scientists are alarmed because ocean surface temperatures have been consistently breaking records over the last few month. Daily ocean surface temperatures in April broke historical record highs since at least 1982, according to data analyzed by the University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute. That means we’re in uncharted territory asContinue Reading
