A team of scientists has successfully extracted a nearly 3-kilometer-long ice core from Antarctica, dating back at least 1.2 million years. This research aims to uncover changes in Earth’s atmosphere and climate, shedding light on ancient ice ages. The operation…
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a warning about unprecedented heat and extreme weather conditions in 2024, with the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urging global action to avoid ‘the path to destruction.’ This year is projected to be the…
Recent developments in the Antarctic, as highlighted by researchers, indicate a rapid loss of polar ice, which is significantly contributing to climate change. The diminishing ice not only reflects less sunlight but also releases greenhouse gases from permafrost, exacerbating global…
The International Energy Agency forecasts that world coal use will reach an all-time high of 8.77 billion tonnes in 2024, driven primarily by demand from China. Despite global climate pledges, coal consumption continues to rise, with significant contributions from emerging…
At COP29 in Azerbaijan, climate experts Pierro Lionello and Abdel Monem presented alarming findings about the Mediterranean region, which is warming 20% faster than the global average. They warned that without significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, extreme weather events…
Daniel Ddiba, a researcher at the Stockholm Environment Institute, highlights the significant yet overlooked role of sanitation systems in global greenhouse gas emissions. With growing access to toilets leading to increased methane emissions, Ddiba emphasizes the need for innovative solutions…
As the COP29 climate summit convenes in Baku, Azerbaijan, new and existing terms are shaping discussions on global warming and climate finance. Essential acronyms such as UNFCCC, COP, and NCQG highlight the framework of international cooperation aimed at combating climate…
