Antarctica's Ice Melt is Not as Linear and Consistent as Previously Thought

Antarctic ice is melting, contributing massive amounts of water to the world's seas and causing them to rise - but that melt is not as linear and consistent as scientists previously thought, a new analysis of 20 years' worth of satellite data indicates.

Geologists Reconstruct Timeline of Earth's Temperature During the Paleozoic Era

The temperature of a planet is linked with the diversity of life that it can support. MIT geologists have now reconstructed a timeline of the Earth's temperature during the early Paleozoic era, between 510 and 440 million years ago -- a pivotal period when animals became abundant in a previously microbe-dominated world.

Tesla in India: Boost in a Country with Low Appetite for Electric Cars, Reports IDTechEx

Tesla has plans to enter a new market: India. This story has unfolded only one way so far. Tesla decides to enter a new market and quickly becomes the top-selling EV maker by leveraging its powerful brand and class-leading technology at a competitive price: China, South Korea, the UK, the Netherlands, and Norway, to name a few countries which have been conquered so far. But will it be so easy in India?

Study Highlights Key Sectors to Effectively Reduce Methane Emission

The most significant greenhouse gas, next only to carbon dioxide (CO2), is methane (CH4). The concentration of CH4 in the atmosphere has increased over two times since the preindustrial age because of the increased emissions due to human activities.

Anthropogenic Resistance Vital to Ensure Sustainable Landscapes for Wildlife

Connectivity between populations plays a crucial role in the survival of species in the wild. In the absence of “wildlife corridors,” animal groups get separated, become incapable of breeding, and may go extinct.
