In a world grappling with the escalating impacts of climate change, small island nations, often bearing the brunt of rising sea levels, are turning to international law to plead their case for climate protection. On Monday, two island nations made history as they sought to redefine global responsibility for combating climate change at the International Tribunal for the Law of […]
ANTARCTICA – The rapidly dwindling sea ice around Antarctica, following two record-breaking low seasons, is sounding alarm bells for the global scientific community. With the winter maximum levels striking their lowest since satellite monitoring began in the late 1970s, researchers are seeking improved models and more measurements to fathom the rate and reasons behind this dramatic decline. Sea ice, a […]
In an eye-opening revelation, a recent study has pinpointed climate change, compounded by various human activities, as the primary culprits behind the intensified flooding episodes that have been plaguing Libya. The North African nation, which is more commonly associated with arid deserts, has recently been facing the brunt of unexpected and severe flooding. The research, orchestrated by an international team […]
In the past century, a silent invader has been making its presence felt from the icy expanses of the North Pole to the southernmost tip of the South Pole. This invader, global warming, has caused the global average surface temperature to rise by over 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit since 1906. Even more alarming is the disproportionate effect on the Earth’s polar […]
The Gulf Stream, a critical warm ocean current pivotal to western Europe’s climatic patterns, is now at the forefront of scientific debate. Recent research points to a possible disintegration by 2025, eliciting diverse reactions from the climate science community. While many view this projection as premature, there’s unanimous agreement on the need for vigilance regarding the stream’s future. The Gulf […]
The crescendo of global warming reached a deafening volume this year. In an alarming revelation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that August has eclipsed all of its predecessors to become the hottest August in its 174-year history of record-keeping. This sweltering milestone, registering a temperature surge of 2.25 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average, was not […]
As global temperatures continue their upward trajectory, the term “climate change” has become an omnipresent phrase in daily discourse. Yet, many remain perplexed about its fundamental nature and implications. We break it down for you, addressing the issue from its causes to its consequences and the collective action being taken to mitigate its effects. Climate Change Demystified At its core, […]
The shadows of our civilization’s incessant pursuit for progress linger in unexpected places. For millions, it’s beneath the ground they tread upon daily. A comprehensive study reveals that an alarming 23 million people globally reside on flood-plains riddled with hazardous concentrations of toxic waste, a nefarious byproduct of metal-mining activity. Mapping the Mines In an endeavor led by UK scientists, […]
The planet’s oceans, often referred to as Earth’s thermostats, have recorded their highest-ever temperatures, sounding alarm bells for environmentalists, scientists, and policymakers worldwide. These sweltering waters could be a harbinger of more pronounced and dire climate changes on the horizon. Researches According to the European Union’s climate change agency, Copernicus, the global sea surface temperature peaked at a staggering 20.96C […]
