The number of Vibrio vulnificus infections is on the rise and spreading northward in the U.S., a new study has found. The researchers have linked the increasing and spreading infections to climate change and predicted that the pathogen will spread further in the coming decades without efforts to curb emissions. Vibrio vulnificus can be a […]
A new study published in Nature Climate Change Monday found that wetlands have been producing more and more methane (CH4) since 2000, with emissions reaching “exceptional” levels in 2020 and 2021.

In Menindee, New South Wales, millions of dead fish have been found in the Darling River. Local authorities and scientists say the die-off event is likely due to high temperatures and low oxygen levels as water from recent floods recedes. The dead fish are primarily bony herring, or bony bream, and also include murray cod, […]
The European Union on Thursday unveiled its plan to become a major global player in the green energy transition. Its Net Zero Industry Act sets a goal of manufacturing at least 40 percent of its own clean technology by 2030. “We need a regulatory environment that allows us to scale up the clean energy transition […]
