March this year marked the highest recorded temperatures globally this year, ending a 12-month streak of records in which each subsequent month was hotter. During the period spanning from April 2023 to March 2024, the mean global temperature exceeded the average temperature observed during the pre-industrial era of 1850-1900 by 1.58 degrees Celsius.Information about this is reported by Reuters, citing […]
Last year, researchers from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London, introduced 75 previously unknown plant species and 15 fungi to the public, describing and naming them. These discoveries cover a wide range of biodiversity, including underground “forests” and graceful orchids. Protecting new species: recommendations from scientists and the role of scientific names Of the recent discoveries, some species have […]
There is general agreement across Europe that 2035 is becoming a crucial cut-off date for transitioning away from fossil fuels in the energy system. European energy industry’s dedication to achieving decarbonization by 2035 European Union countries, which account for more than 60% of the energy sector within the bloc, have pledged to achieve decarbonization by the year 2035. As per […]

Environmentally friendly material MBC: an innovative solution for various industries This material, obtained from a variety of sources, has unique properties applicable to various industries. Its high sustainability and environmental friendliness make it a promising solution for construction, packaging, […]
Scientists warn that the world could face more severe heat waves, droughts and wildfires in 2024 than in previous years. In response to this threat, scientists around the world are actively developing ambitious strategies and plans to alleviate the impacts of climate change. The Daily Mail reports this. Airplanes at altitude: NASA’s plan to spray ice to cool the Earth […]
A recent research article in the journal Science Advances suggests that climate change might stimulate heightened winds and precipitation, potentially resulting in more frequent occurrences of desert locust outbreaks. These migratory insects, increasingly recognized as significant agricultural pests in various regions of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, could proliferate rapidly due to the effects of climate change. Scientists warn […]
New, more environmentally friendly tidal stream power plants are being introduced in Scotland. However, the technology is currently considered too expensive, making it difficult to implement at scale. Coal-fired power plants are climate-damaging and polluting, but they have the flexibility to adjust output based on electricity demand. While wind and solar power plants are environmentally friendly, their electricity production is […]
Environmental experts have been warning about global climate change for decades. This phenomenon led to an increase in the average annual temperature, which caused the melting of glaciers and a rise in sea levels. The consequences of global warming can also be a decrease in the populations of various animal species and even a threat to human life. The editors […]
A recent publication in CABI Reviews underscores that the effects of climate change on wildlife will manifest across various facets, encompassing nutrition, habitat, conduct, physical well-being, and psychological health. These observations highlight the need for careful analysis to determine priorities for protecting the welfare and longevity of food animals (including pets) and those kept in sanctuaries and zoos. Climate Change […]
How will the climate change in different parts of Europe in half a century? This question is becoming increasingly pressing as human activity accelerates warming at a rate not seen in the last two thousand years. This is the main conclusion of the sixth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, better known as the IPCC. The report analyzes […]
