The latest report of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), formally released on Monday, warns that global warming is occurring faster than anticipated and that it can have devastating impacts if steps are not taken to cut down emissions. India will be among the worst hit countries thatContinue Reading
In the past, when a carbon-based life form — such as an animal or plant — died in the Arctic, it froze before it had time to decompose. Now that temperatures in the region are increasing, however, microbes in the newly thawed Arctic soil are breaking down these previously frozenContinue Reading
685,000 Americans are subject to mandatory evacuation orders this week — 385,000 in Texas, 200,000 in Louisiana, and 100,000 in California due to storms which are forming at a record pace in the Atlantic. Half way down the world in India, rainfall has been 25% more than normal in August,Continue Reading
A new study led by Indian scientists has reported that rapid warming of the Indo-Pacific Ocean may be responsible for changing rainfall patterns in many parts of the globe, including India. The warming pools of the Indo-Pacific Ocean are expanding and this, in turn, is altering a major weather phenomenonContinue Reading
According to recent research, climate warming is worsening future flooding emergencies at both high and low elevations. Approximately 15 million people worldwide live under the shadow of glacial lakes, with more than half of them in India, Pakistan, Peru, and China. A second research documented over 150 such floods andContinue Reading
Countries were recently compared based on the emissions intensity of their oil and gas activities, including production, processing, and transportation, using a CO2e 20-year global warming potential. Because it shows which oils and gases are “dirtier,” independent of amount generated, emissions intensity is an excellent indicator for direct comparison. ThisContinue Reading
According to a recent research, the Earth’s ocean had another record year in 2021 – “the warmest year ever recorded by mankind” — with all major bodies of water worldwide experiencing record heat for their top 6,500 feet of water. And this is despite the fact that the Pacific OceanContinue Reading
Michael Mann, a 54 year old professor at Penn State University and one of the most eminent climate scientists in the world, believes averting climate catastrophe on a global scale is still POSSIBLE. It was long thought that Earth’s climate system carried a substantial lag effect, mainly because carbon dioxideContinue Reading
