Global average sea level rose by about 0.3 inches (0.76 centimeters) from 2022 to 2023 -- nearly four times the increase of the previous year -- NASA said Thursday, attributing the "significant jump" to a strong El Nino and a warming climate. The NASA-led analysis is based on more than
Climate zealots do not want solutions to the problems they claim are going to kill us all. They just want control of your everyday life, from the car you drive to the food you eat. Harvard University is no longer continuing its solar geoengineering research experiment. The gist of solar geoengineering is that spraying particles […]
The world needs to better manage its freshwater resources but thirsty new technologies touted as solutions could lead to serious problems if left unchecked, a UN report warned Friday.Roughly half of the planet's population is facing grave water shortages, with climate change-linked droughts affecting more than 1.4 billion people between 2002 and 2021, the report for the UN cultural agency UNESCO said.As of 2022, more than 2 billion people were without access to safely managed drinking water,...
Researchers have pinpointed climate change as a critical factor that is likely to exacerbate inflation worldwide.
A new study suggests that the agriculture industry's battle with rising global temperatures could drive food prices even higher.

Johannesburg — For two weeks, Tsholofelo Moloi has been among thousands of South Africans lining up for water as the country's largest city, Johannesburg, confronts an unprecedented collapse of its water system affecting millions of people. Residents rich and poor have never seen a shortage of this severity. While hot weather has shrunk reservoirs, crumbling infrastructure after decades of neglect is also largely to blame. The public's frustration is a danger sign for the ruling African National...
Climate change is 'off the charts' and presents a 'defining challenge' to humanity, a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns.
University of California researchers from the Secure Water Future project recently found that increases in crop water demand explain half of the cumulative deficits of the agricultural water balance since 1980, exacerbating water reliance on depleting groundwater supplies and fluctuating surface water imports.
Nextbigfuture has tried to simplify the reason why global population decline is not something to be ignored. While the world was fine when we had 4 billion people in 1974, we will be deep into disaster if the world population declines to 4 billion in 2080-2120. Fertile women would drop to 5% of the population
PARIS (IANS) – The United Nations World Water Development Report 2024, published by UNESCO on behalf of UN-Water, highlights that tensions over water are exacerbating conflicts worldwide. To preserve peace, states must boost international cooperation and transboundary agreements, it noted. “As water stress increases, so […]
