Mountain meadows are unique ecosystems. A research team led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now discovered that climate change reduces the humus content as well as the nitrogen stores in the grassland soils of the Alps and disturbs the soil structure. Organic fertilization, for example with liquid manure, can compensate this loss of soil organic matter to some extent.
As a result of the climate crisis, global warming is driving up temperatures around the world—and bumblebees, like humans, are struggling to cope with homes that can't beat the heat.
Can chatbots provide accurate information about the dangers of climate change? Well, that depends on a variety of factors including the specific topic, location being considered, and how much the chatbot is paid, according to a group of Virginia Tech researchers.
Earth System Models—complex computer models that describe Earth processes and how they interact—are critical for predicting future climate change. By simulating the response of our land, oceans and atmosphere to manmade greenhouse gas emissions, these models form the foundation for predictions of future extreme weather and climate event scenarios, including those issued by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Roxanne Scott, independent journalist working on a series with the NY Amsterdam News about climate change in Southeast Queens, talks about how St. Albans in Southeast Queens, a majority-Black neighborhood where residents have long complained of neglected infrastructure and services, is dealing with a pest exacerbated by climate change: mosquitos.
NEW DELHI, (IANS) – Climate plays a pivotal role in altering the transmission patterns of malaria, said experts on World Malaria Day which fell on April 25. It is observed annually on April 25, to spread awareness about the mosquito-borne disease. This year’s theme is […]
People across the world, and the political spectrum, underestimate levels of support for climate action. This “perception gap” matters. Governments will change policy if they think they have strong public backing. Companies need to know that consumers want to see low-carbon products and changes in business practices. We’re all more likely to make changes if we think others will do the same. If governments, companies, innovators, and our neighbors know that most people are worried about the...
Immediate concerns overshadow long-term environmental issues and poor awareness among voters means parties do not prioritise such matters in their agendas.
Paris, May 2 (Prensa Latina) France’s Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne received on Thursday his Brazilian counterpart Mauro Vieira in Paris, where both agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation on climate change and addressed international crises. The post France and Brazil to debate on climate change and crises first appeared on Prensa Latina.
The research, which has been published in top-tier scientific journals such as Nature and Science, presents a comprehensive analysis of various mitigation strategies, including carbon capture and storage, renewable energy integration, and nature-based solutions. Through cutting-edge modeling techniques and extensive data analysis, the study demonstrates the efficacy and scalability of these strategies in significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. "We are at a critical juncture in the fight...
Climate scientists would be less likely to issue dire warnings of planetary doom if only they gave more credence to the geological history of the past several million years.
A recent study has highlighted a concerning effect of global warming: the migration of venomous snakes into new regions.
