A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that CO2 emitted from the tundra between October and December of each year increased more than 70 percent from 1975 to 2015, likely […]
A new Global Wine Index outlines the most at-risk wine regions according to natural disasters, rising temperatures and other climate change factors. Unfortunately, some of the world’s finest grapes are unlikely to survive. The index was created by a multidisciplinary European-Australian research team of engineers, seismologists, meteorologists, scientists and wine lovers, who analyzed 110,000 wineries […]
A massive iceberg is towering over a Newfoundland town, as climate change continues to cause dramatic and spectacular events. The giant iceberg near Ferryland, Canada has created quite a stir and even caused traffic jams as locals stop to take pictures. Icebergs commonly appear off the coast of Ferryland—in fact, this area called “Iceberg Alley” […]
If you don’t agree with 97 percent of climate scientists that climate change is real, you should at least believe your own eyes. The Earth’s rapidly rising temperatures has dramatically transformed our landscapes, as you can see quite clearly in these vivid photos of the world’s melting glaciers. Retreat of the Columbia Glacier, Alaska, USA, […]
