Another climate tipping point to worry about: Plankton
Rising temperatures could transform plankton and other tiny aquatic organisms into a huge source of carbon emissions, a little-known — and potentially catastrophic — climate tipping point that could accelerate global warming. A study, published Thursday in Functional Ecology, found…
SDG and climate change | The Express Tribune
Progress and modernity on the back of the industrial revolution came with a high price tag. The consumption of fuel and gas for transportation and to run factories contaminated the atmosphere to the extent that the naturally accumulated greenhouse gases…
Climate Change: What You Need to Know
Every year, the climate crisis intensifies — promising severe droughts, supercharged storms, blistering heatwaves, and other extreme weather events — threatening the lives and livelihoods of billions of people, and overwhelming the capacities of governments around the world. But there’s…
Seven of the nine thresholds that allow for human life on earth have already been crossed
Back in 2009, a large group of scientists identified nine limits that humans should not cross if they want the earth to remain hospitable to civilization. These included, among others, the availability of fresh water, the conservation of natural areas,…
New Poll: Most People Say Their Next Car Will NOT Be An EV
Policymakers inside the Biden administration have repeatedly assured Americans that electric vehicles (EVs) are an unavoidable and essential part of the “net-zero” carbon emissions world that they’re trying to regulate into existence. But despite hefty subsidies and future bans on…
Jerry Shenk: The Gospel of ‘Global Warming’
People, generally, acknowledge that climate changes, but most remain skeptical that it’s man-made or apocalyptic. Rather than “settled science,” global warming activism has become a cult-like evangelistic movement outside normally-accepted skeptical approaches to the rest of science. In fact, pagans…
Green bonds and guarantees: Key tools to contain global warming
The science required for a fundamental transition from fossil fuel-based to non-fossil fuel-based production is now known. Some are still at the experimental frontier or too costly to implement, but other technologies such as green hydrogen and especially renewable energy…
Explained | Global warming will likely soon cross 1.5º C. What will it mean for India?
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has just predicted that there is a greater than 66% probability that at least one of the years from 2023 to 2027 will witness a global mean surface temperature rise of 1.5 o C above…
