Why are farmers in Australia working to build their soil carbon levels through carbon farming? How does this affect the rest of the world? And what does this mean for climate change? After generations of soil and pasture mismanaging, I pose these questions: Where are we headed? How did we get here? And what have we ...
The world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases announced generally moderate new energy and climate targets that give little indications that it will step up its efforts at combatting climate change over the next five years. Premier Li Keqiang, speaking at the annual meeting of the National People’s Congress, said the country will reduce carbon emissions ...
In many countries, climate change activists have taken to the streets, bringing their governments to task, but in China, one figure seems to be fighting alone. Howey Ou says it’s her “life mission” to spark change before it’s too late. “The climate emergency is the biggest threat to the survival of mankind,” Howey Ou told The ...
813 years of annual river discharge at 62 stations, 41 rivers in 16 countries, from 1200 to 2012. That is what researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) produced after two years of research in order to better understand paleoclimate patterns of the Asian Monsoon region. Home to many populous river basins, ...
A recent fear-mongering report that claimed humanity is “beyond the point of no return” when it comes to climate change has been debunked by a group of scientists. The study claims that the Arctic Permafrost, which is rich in carbon, is melting irreversibly and that the process will continue, thus heating up the planet over ...
Correctly simulating ocean current variations hundreds of feet below the ocean surface — the so-called Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent — during El Niño events is key in reducing the uncertainty of predictions of future warming in the eastern tropical Pacific. That was revealed in a new study led by University of Hawai’i at Mānoa researchers and published in Nature ...
In recent times, there has been an intense debate over the consumption of meat. Some say that human beings should stop eating animals because it is unethical. Others point out that it is impractical and foolhardy to think that a society can exist without eating meat, solely relying on plant-based products. Lab-grown meat (cultured meat) ...
When we think of ice, most of us picture one of three things, but one of them is probably not pink ice. You might think of the clear chunks of frozen water floating in your drink. You could imagine massive glaciers and icebergs with their brilliant whites and blues. You may curse the black ice ...
An understanding of climate change during the past millennia is crucial for the scientific attribution of the current warming and the accurate prediction of future climate change. The proxy-based reconstructions and model simulations that offer insights into past temperature changes, however, are subject to large uncertainties. Large-scale climate reconstructions are always related to the uncertainties ...
What nitrogen is getting up to in permafrost soils may exert great feedback on climate change, which overturns what researchers have long believed, according to a Sino-German joint study. Nitrogen is a constituent part of nitrous oxide (N2O) — an often overlooked greenhouse gas — and there is a vast amount of nitrogen stored in ...
