Ongoing Climate Changes Make it Increasingly Difficult to Predict Certain Aspects of Weather

According to a recent study conducted by Stockholm University, it has become increasingly challenging to predict specific aspects of weather as a result of ongoing climate changes.

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.

Coal Power Stations Disrupt Rainfall: Global Study

Modern coal-fired power stations produce more ultrafine dust particles than road traffic and can even modify and redistribute rainfall patterns, a new 15-year international study shows.

Sea Ice Plays Pacemaker Role in Abrupt Climate Change

The growth or shrinkage of sea ice is often viewed as a symptom of climate change, but new research shows it may have played a more causative role in abrupt climate changes thousands of years ago.

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).

CO2 Mineralization in Geologically Abundant Rocks for Storing Carbon

To prevent the worst effects of climate change, humanity has to change when it comes to lowering carbon emissions. If the world is to adhere to the IPCC’s minimum target of keeping global temperature increases lower than 1.5 °C, every possible path for CO2 remediation must be investigated.
