The powerful El Niño weather event which along with climate change has helped push global temperatures to new highs, has ended, say scientists. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology says the Pacific Ocean has “cooled substantially” in the past week. This naturally occurring episode that began last June brought warmer waters to the surface of the […]
By 2049, economic damage from climate change is expected to amount to approximately $38 trillion annually.
NASA is intensifying its efforts to understand and address the planet's warming with AI. Amid escalating extreme weather events fueled by climate change, NASA is intensifying its efforts to understand and address the planet's warming.
The report underlines the urgent need for incorporating occupational safety and health considerations into climate response strategies.
Maguindanao del Sur Governor Mariam Mangudadatu says 20 of the 24 towns in her province are severely affected by the prolonged dry spell and dwindling water sources
In a startling development from Peru, the number of deaths caused by mosquito-borne dengue fever has more than tripled this year.
Shafaqna Science- Even if CO2 emissions were drastically cut today, the global economy is already facing a 19% loss in income by 2050 due to climate change, according to a new study. These damages are six times greater than the mitigation costs needed to limit global warming to two degrees,
As Hawaii faces a mounting water crisis, Oahu stands on the brink of what locals describe as an environmental catastrophe.
As sea levels rise, coastal groundwater is lifted closer to the ground surface while also becoming saltier and more corrosive. A recent study by Earth scientists at the University of Hawai'i (UH) at Mānoa has compiled research from experts worldwide showing that in cities where there are complex networks of buried and partially buried infrastructure, interaction with this shallower and saltier groundwater exacerbates corrosion and failure of critical systems such as sewer lines, roadways, and...
The indicators of climate change and its effects on the life and health of populations continue to be ignored by many governments, warned Luciana Blanco Villafuerte, Lancet Countdown Latin America researcher.
As extreme weather events increase around the world due to climate change, the need for further research into our warming planet has increased as well. For NASA, climate research involves not only conducting studies of these events, but also empowering outside researchers to do the same. The artificial intelligence (AI) efforts spearheaded by the agency offer a powerful tool to accomplish these goals.
A new 33-country survey released by Ipsos - one of the world's leading market research companies - marking Earth Day, looks at how attitudes to climate change are transforming. The study says that although Indians have a sense of onus on climate change, they live in their own reality. For the survey, Ipsos interviewed 24,290 people online in 33 countries between January 26 and February 9, 2024. Earth day is recognised globally on April 22. Nationally, the study finds that 75 percent or more...
