While increasing carbon emissions are heating Earth’s atmosphere near the planet’s surface, higher carbon dioxide levels are cooling the upper atmosphere. Scientists say this phenomenon could impact satellites and the ozone layer, and contribute to weather changes below. A new study published in PNAS adds to the evidence of humanity’s fingerprint on climate change. While […]
Edible mushrooms are a healthy and valuable source of protein, fiber, antioxidants and selenium, a mineral that protects against infections and cell damage. A new study by scientists from the University of Stirling in Scotland has found that growing edible mushrooms adjacent to trees can not only provide food for millions, it can mitigate climate […]
On November 5, 2022, hundreds of climate activists parked themselves down in front of private jets at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and stopped them from taking off for hours. Now, nearly five months later, the airport has announced it is banning private jets and taking further steps to reduce noise pollution and cut greenhouse gas emissions […]
Decisions made this decade will largely determine whether world leaders can limit global warming to 1.5 or two degrees Celsius of warming below pre-industrial levels and avoid the increasingly more drastic impacts of the climate crisis. That’s one key takeaway from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Synthesis Report of the findings gathered in […]
A new study published in Nature Wednesday found that recovering forests in the Amazon, Central Africa and Borneo had offset the greenhouse gas emissions from slightly more than a quarter of deforestation in those regions over more than three decades.
Food production to meet modern human diets is expected to contribute enough emissions to push global warming past the 1.5°C target, according to a new study. The analysis found that emissions from current global food systems, which are primarily focused on meat, dairy and rice production, could contribute at least 0.7°C of warming by 2100, […]
While the EV charging network in the U.S. is quickly expanding, many drivers have been hesitant to make the switch to fully electric vehicles, for fear of becoming stranded with a car that has run out of juice. But a new study hopes to ease those concerns by showing consumers which EVs could work best […]
More than 90 scientists from around the world have written an open letter recommending that research be done on the potential of increasing solar radiation modification (SRM) — the reflection of sunlight away from Earth’s atmosphere, sometimes referred to as “solar geoengineering” — in order to slow planetary warming and lessen climate impacts. The scientists […]
Brands like Walmart, Target and Home Depot are the focus of a new report on shipping emissions. The report found that just 18 major retailers are linked to 3.5 million metric tons of emissions solely from ship imports into the U.S. in 2021. The All Brands on Deck report, created by Ship It Zero, Pacific […]
