Climate Change Could Accelerate Outbreaks of Many Pathogenic Diseases
A new study led by the University of Hawaii found that 58% of known infectious diseases worldwide could be aggravated by climatic hazards. The...
Heat Wave Occurrences May Increase, Despite Meeting Climate Targets
Present-day climate change consists of global warming and its influences on different weather patterns. The emanation of greenhouse gases —mostly methane and carbon dioxide—...
Scientists Developed a Microbe That Synthesizes Complex Molecules From Ambient CO2 Efficiently
Owing to the mounting effect of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, researchers have attempted to cultivate novel methods to capture, isolate, and utilize...
Changes in Emissions of Anthropogenic Aerosols Impact Tropical Cyclones
Research recently published in Science suggests that modifying the amount of anthropogenic aerosols released into the atmosphere could have impacted the behavior of global...
A New Study Questions the Effectiveness of Forests to Combat Climate Change
Researchers found that current models relying on trees to decarbonize the atmosphere overestimate the potential of trees' CO2 sequestration. These findings claimed that using...
Wildfires, Cause of Planet Warming and Land Devastation
The wildfire season in 2021 was considerably greater than that in earlier history. It was characterized by augmented extreme weather conditions caused by changes...
Researchers Create Chemicals With a Carbon-Negative Footprint From Bacteria
A study released in Nature Biotechnology describes a method for carbon-negative manufacturing of chemicals at a large scale using microbes instead of petroleum and...
