Pakistan, a country responsible for less than 1% of global carbon emissions, is dealing with the most serious consequences of climate change. With the fifth highest vulnerability to climate disasters in the world
A new study published Thursday reveals that the ongoing drought in the Horn of Africa, which includes Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya, is now 100 times more likely to occur due to the human-caused climate crisis.
April 22 is Earth Day, a global event dedicated to environmental activism aimed at promoting policy change, securing funding, and transforming human behaviour to combat the climate crisis.
Countries are so behind in reducing their fossil fuel emissions that they can no longer prevent global warming from intensifying in the next 30 years, though there is still a short window to avoid a more harrowing future
According to the research, published in Nature Reviews: Earth and Environment, as people emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the Earth warms, and much of that heat (about 90%) ends up being absorbed by the oceans.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned, on the occasion of the 'Stockholm+50' environmental conference, that climate change poses "serious risks" to mental health and well-being.
Natural gas, contrary to what its name suggests, is not really nature's friend. It is even quite the opposite: it is fossil energy whose extraction, production, transport and consumption are particularly harmful to the climate.
Climate change not only has large-scale effects but can also have a strong influence on essential daily activities such as sleep. A scientific team estimates that by 2099, rising temperatures could reduce between 50 and 58 hours of sleep per person
The warming of the ocean waters has caused a drop in the brightness of the Earth, as revealed by measurements of the light of the planet that illuminates the surface of the Moon and from satellites.
