Brazil’s highly respected space research hub, INPE, delivered a shocking revelation on a Wednesday – blatant disregard for environmental protection measures results in skyrocketing carbon emissions in the Amazon forest. The data presented showcases a notable increase in the years 2019 and 2020, largely in contrast to the rates witnessed in the preceding decade. The…
Last week, wildfires left a trail of destruction across the island of Maui, claiming at least 96 lives and causing damage worth over US$5.52 billion. This has raised urgent questions on the preparedness of scientists and Hawaii’s preventive measures against future disasters of this nature.

It’s imperative that we comprehend the effects of high heat brought on by climate change as temperatures are rising and heatwaves are occurring more frequently. It is commonly acknowledged that climate change is causing changes in weather patterns, increasing sea levels, and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events. Unquestionably, there is a…
According to a new study as reported on Science Daily, a significant area of Greenland was once an ice-free tundra landscape, maybe with trees and roaming woolly mammoths, in the recent geologic past (approximately 416,000 years ago). The findings support an earlier hypothesis that a large portion of the Greenland ice sheet survived over the…
The capacity of animals to adapt to climate change can be the difference between survival and extinction on a warming planet. Researchers have now found that certain species are adjusting by changing their form. As the world’s temperatures have increased over time, their bodies have evolved. These modifications are simpler, smaller physical adaptations to deal…
Increasing numbers of visitors are prioritizing cooler climates or off-season travel to avoid spending their time away in stifling heat, which might accelerate a trend that is already emerging among vacationers as a result of the awful weather in southern Europe.
