Climate Change Will Force Mosquitoes to Roam Beyond Their Current Habitats

Climate change is now driving away many animals from their comfort zones. This is also evident in the case of disease-carrying mosquitoes that kill almost 1 million people annually.

Impact of Today’s Coal-Fired Power Stations on Rainfall and Climate Change

A novel 15-year global study has shown that present-day coal-fired power stations generate more ultrafine dust particles compared to road vehicles and could also alter and readjust rainfall distributions.

Solar Geoengineering Could Help Offset Global Warming

One of the main misapprehensions about solar geoengineering—injecting aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and decrease global warming—is that it could be used as a universal remedy to invert global warming trends and revert temperature back to pre-industrial levels.

Study Shows Melting of Sea Ice Could Contribute to Enhanced Warming in the Arctic Region

Recent observational investigations as well as model simulations with increasing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) have revealed enhanced warming in the Arctic (north of 67° N).

Negative-Emission Technologies Could Help Remove CO2 from the Atmosphere

Adverse effects of cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases at constant increasing rates have been predicted by climate researchers. The fact that any solution will require sharp decreases in emissions from sources like coal-fueled power plants and automobiles has been accepted by professionals.

Researchers Convert Carbon Dioxide Back into Solid Coal Using Liquid Metals

Scientists have converted carbon dioxide back into solid coal using liquid metals, in a first-ever ground-breaking discovery that could revolutionize the approach to carbon capture and storage.

Researchers Discover a Surprising New Source of Carbon Dioxide Emissions

In a new research from UBC’s Okanagan campus, scientists have found an unexpected new source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions—bicarbonates concealed in the lake water employed for irrigating local plantations.

Lab-Grown Meat’s Promise for Cutting Climate Warming Depends on an Energy Revolution

Comparison of the greenhouse gases produced by lab-grown and farm-raised beef in the current energy system suggests that the benefits of reducing methane could be outweighed by increased CO2.

EASAC’s Latest Analysis Reveals Increasing Significance of Technologies to Remove CO2

In a new report, the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC), which is the representative of the national science academies of the EU Member States, Norway, and Switzerland, states its latest analysis shows that technologies and methods for eliminating CO2 from the atmosphere are becoming increasingly important with the failure to reverse the burgeoning global emissions.
