New University of Minnesota research suggests "leaf glow" provides vital information on vegetation dynamics in Arctic and boreal ecosystems like Minnesota's forests and wetlands, which are among the fastest warming in the world. Using remote sensing to monitor the natural glow may help scientists better track climate change and its impact on our natural resources.
The ‘MI Healthy Climate Corps’ started in March and members of a new state program are focused on helping communities with initiatives to help tackle climate change.
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.
In honor of Earth Month, forthcoming research from the Center for Sustainable Futures and insights from innovative teacher preparation offer strategies to battle one of the most significant crises of our time
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).
As financial safety nets collapse, regulators are letting insurers off the hook.
Dr. Tana Wood, an ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service, is running experiments to see what might happen to forests if temperatures rise by seven degrees Fahrenheit, the worst-case scenario by the end of the century. Among the impacts, it appears forests could lose some of their ability to absorb carbon, which contributes to rising temperatures. David Schechter has the story.
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...
President Joe Biden’s sanctimonious lectures about climate change are pathetic because it is clear that Biden doesn’t believe in them himself. Biden posted on Tuesday that “Anyone who willfully denies the impacts of climate change is condemning the American people to a dangerous future.” That is an odd statement for Biden to make, given that […]
Heat waves are becoming increasingly common in the Balearic Islands, particularly affecting the first and last two months of the school year (May, June, September and October). Regulations require that workplace temperatures remain within a range of 17 and 27 degrees, although many schools are unable to comply with this. Thermal insulation While a study […]
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...
