A new study using marine sponges collected off the coast of Puerto Rico has found that the planet has already warmed more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. Researchers analyzed ocean temperature records from sea sponges going back 300 years, a press release from The University of Western Australia (UWA) said. They concluded that global heating had […]
The next United Nations Climate Change Conference, otherwise known as COP28, begins Thursday in the United Arab Emirates. The conference, which lasts through December 12, comes at a critical moment in global efforts to contain the climate crisis. The latest UN Emissions Gap Report, released ahead of the talks, found that nations’ current emissions reduction […]
A new United Nations Climate Change report says that current climate action plans by nations are not enough to limit the average global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius and meet Paris Agreement targets. The report shows that countries need to take much more action immediately, even though some have been making increased efforts, in […]
If you thought this year was exceptionally hot, you were right. Not only has it been the warmest year on record, it’s on track to be the warmest the planet has been in a quarter of a million years. Scientists at the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) say 2023 is almost certain to be the […]
According to new research published Thursday, the world will soon pass the 1.5°C target that was set to limit the worst impacts of climate change. The 2015 Paris Agreement set a goal to limit global warming to at most 2°C above pre-industrial levels. But after the agreement went into effect in 2016, more experts expressed […]
Researchers from Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom have recently found that more than 60 percent of the 142 largest gas, oil and coal companies are not on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, wrote two of the researchers from The University of Queensland, Saphira Rekker […]
The Paris Agreement goal of keeping global surface air temperatures below 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average is starting to fade into the background, climate experts say, as Reuters reported. According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), in the beginning of June, average temperatures worldwide climbed above 1.5 degrees Celsius for several days. […]
A new study by 50 leading scientists conducted to supplement the “information gap” between Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports said global greenhouse gas emissions have soared to a record high and are threatening to push our planet into “unprecedented” global heating. Earth’s carbon budget — the amount of carbon dioxide that can be […]
The Brazilian government has unveiled the fifth phase of an Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Amazon (PPCDAm) — Earth’s largest tropical rainforest — by 2030. First launched in 2004, the new phase of the PPCDAm will combat environmental crimes with bolstered law enforcement, among other strategies, reported Reuters. In […]
