(53) Generating Water from Air Humidity to face Global Drought.
As the climate crisis continues to unfold, professionals in architecture, engineering, and sustainable design have relentlessly searched for new ways to mitigate the negative effects of modern industrial production. One group of such innovators, Zero Mass Water, have contributed to this effort through their creation of ‘the world’s first and only hydropanel’. It uses solar […]
(52) As Australia Burns, Its Leaders are Clinging to Coal.
Australia is the world’s largest coal exporter, but its government is downplaying its contributions to climate change. The devastating bushfires across Australia have cemented the fact that the country is on the front lines of a major climate-linked disaster, one that scientists saw coming and one that will only get worse from here. Prime Minister […]
(51) Over 11,000 Scientists From 153 Countries Declare “Climate Emergency”
A new study by 11,258 scientists in 153 countries from a broad range of disciplines warns that the planet “clearly and unequivocally faces a climate emergency,” and provides six broad policy goals that must be met to address it. The study, published Tuesday in the journal Bioscience, clearly lays out the huge challenge of reducing […]
(50) United Nations Confirms the Ocean Is Screwed.
The seas, which hold some 332,519,000 cubic miles of water, are warming, rising, acidifying, and losing oxygen. And a new comprehensive U.N. climate special report, released Wednesday, presents an encyclopedic review of how Earth’s oceans and ice sheets have been altered as the world relentlessly warms. Today’s disrupted seas, though, are just the inception of […]
(49) The Cutting Edge Invention Turns farming Waste Into Fuel for Homes.
With the majority of farmers using firewood, charcoal or kerosene to meet their energy needs, this project offers a clean and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels – biogas. Biodigesters are installed at household level, generating gas from anaerobically digested animal manure and solving the problem of managing unhygienic animal waste, while enabling families to cook […]
(48) Global Heating Made Hurricane Dorian Bigger, Wetter – and more Deadly.
On a basic physics level, we know that warm waters fuel hurricanes, and Dorian was strengthened by waters well above average temperatures. The fact that climate change has heated up our oceans means Dorian was stronger than it would have been had we not spent the past 150 years dumping carbon pollution into the atmosphere. […]
(47) UN Warning: Food Is Going To Get REALLY, REALLY EXPENSIVE.
The global food supply is on the brink of disaster, according to a newly published report by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. More than 100 experts contributed to the report, which concludes that climate change is already negatively impacting food production in real ways. And the problem is poised to get even […]
(46) 22 Inventions That Are Saving The Earth.
These are 22 amazing inventions that help saving our planet. The Earth is struggling, it has given us incredible resources that make our lives so much easier, but we are pushing the planet to its limit. Thankfully, people are now setting all kinds of eco-friendly trends, and companies are coming up with green technologies that […]
(45) Carbon Dioxide (CO2)’s Impact on Fruits & Vegetables are Devastating.
Increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) — projected to be beneficial for crop productivity — can reduce the nutritional quality of staple foods like fruit, vegetables, wheat and rice, according to a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). it’s also making some of our most important crops less nutritious by changing […]
(44) According to a new UN climate report, we only have 30 years left to live.
if we don’t change how we behave, climate change will lead to the extinction of our species before 2050. Since the Paris Agreement on climate in 2016, the main objective concerning the rise of temperature is to stay lower than 2°C. One ambition that needs urgently concrete actions. However, on October 8th 2018, the Intergovernmental […]
