It’s estimated that 600-750 million cubic meters of water disappeared into the ocean. So what happened to theContinue Reading
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) involve input from climate scientists around the world who share their research findings with each other. The finished product is basically a “state of the world” document about global heating and what can be done to mitigate its impacts. The draft of theContinue Reading
Climate change is making the climate warmer due to which heat waves are growing longer, hotter, and more frequent. Since the 1960s, the average number of annual heat waves in 50 major American cities has tripled. As the mercury rises, people die. The homeless cook to death on hot sidewalks.Continue Reading
