Researcher Exposes Real Costs of Flying

Professor Renate Schubert believes flying is quite cheap. Air tickets would be more expensive if fuel tax, value-added tax (VAT), and CO2 tax were charged. Also, there would be fewer fabricated incentives.

Researchers Exploring Feasibility of Anti-Global Warming Atmospheric Spraying Program

A program to decrease Earth’s heat capture by injecting aerosols into the atmosphere from high-altitude aircraft is doable, but excessively expensive with present-day technology, and would be unlikely to stay a secret.

Changing Climatic Conditions Might Have an Impact on Peatlands’ Carbon Cycle

Continuous changes in climatic conditions can lead to various changes. For instance, they can increase microbial activities, modify microbial biomass and community composition, and activate decomposition of the organic matter in the deeper peat layers by altering the processes of microorganisms and by indirectly impacting the availability of substrates.

New Research Exposes Growing Threats of Cumulative Climate Hazards Worldwide

A new research offers one of the most complete assessments yet of the impact of the simultaneous occurrence of many climate hazards. This study exposes that societies face a much greater threat from climate change than preceding studies have indicated.

Study Shows Local Greenhouse Gas Concentrations and Arctic Climate Feedbacks Outweigh Other Processes

An increased surface warming in Alaska, Siberia, Canada, and in the Arctic Ocean in relation to global mean temperature rise has been revealed by long-term observations of surface temperatures.

New Study Reveals Earth’s Oceans Absorb 60% More Heat than Formerly Thought

According to a research led by scientists at Princeton and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California-San Diego, for each year during the last quarter century, the world’s oceans have absorbed an amount of heat energy that is 150 times greater than the energy humans generate as electricity each year.

Regional Climate Predictions for the UK and Europe Often Inaccurate

Regional climate change over the North Atlantic may not be accurately predicted by climatologists due to outdated computer model simulations.

Geoengineering Alone Will Not Slow Climate Change

The global countries still have to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions to meet the climate targets set in the Paris Agreement, and simply depending on tree planting and other alternative technological solutions, for example, geoengineering will not make a huge difference.
