According to BBC Weather’s Chris Fawkes, these heat waves are “a consequence of climate change.” The threat of heat: how high temperatures endanger lives and forests Extreme heat can […]
A high-tech joint satellite between the European and Japanese space agencies has been launched to measure the impact of clouds on climate. Cloud research: key role in climate change Certain lower-altitude clouds contribute to cooling the planet, whereas those found at higher altitudes function as a heat-trapping layer. The Earthcare mission utilizes lasers and radar to examine the atmosphere. to […]
Glaciers, which play a key role in the balance of ecosystems, are on the verge of extinction. A terrible fact was the first time in history when a country lost all its glaciers due to global warming. This alarming situation in Venezuela raises serious concerns among scientists, who warn of possible catastrophic consequences for the climate, the ecology of the […]
