As temperatures climb, so does violence. At least that’s the conclusion reached by researchers looking at how ancient cultures in the south central Andes responded to climate change about 1,000 years ago. It may be an important cautionary tale.Continue… Continue reading Climate change may have led to ‘Mad Max’-style scenes in ancient Andes
There are two purposes for the borehole: one is for scientific exploration and the other is to find oil and gas. Continue reading China Is Digging a 10,000-Meter Hole
Looking to nature can often provide inspiration, especially in construction. Researchers have studied how wind travels through the complex internal structure of a termite mound in hopes that it will one day inform the construction of a building that ca… Continue reading Termite mounds an inspiration for future climate-regulating buildings
Influential architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and Stony Brook University have revealed plans for a large new development on New York City’s Governors Island that will be focused on bringing people together to tackle climate change. The… Continue reading Impressive timber development designed to tackle climate crisis
A new study has suggested that by protecting and restoring wildlife, we can enhance natural carbon capture mechanisms and reduce climate change.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Climate, Climate Crisis, Wildlife, Animals, Extinction, … Continue reading Protecting and restoring wildlife offers a new climate solution
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released its latest report, pulling together the findings of previous reports to provide a more complete picture of how human-caused climate change continues to affect the planet.Continue Reading… Continue reading Latest IPCC report on climate change: “More ambitious action” needed
In our daily lives, dust is little more than a nuisance to be wiped away. On a global scale however, dust carried around the world on air currents has an impact on planetary temperatures. A new study shows that this dust could be masking the true impac… Continue reading Atmospheric dust slowing greenhouse gas effect, for now
Our current climate catastrophe is far from Earth’s first, but for billions of years life has continued to plod along through these ups and downs. MIT scientists have now analyzed 66 million years of climate data and uncovered a stabilizing mechanism t… Continue reading How rain and rocks keep Earth habitable through wild climate changes
The Soviet Union launched the Sputnik 1 satellite in 1957, placing the first human-made object in space. Fast forward to 2022, and we are now launching more than a thousand satellites into space each year, improving our weather forecasts, boosting our … Continue reading The modern satellites shaping the course of climate science
Among the many mechanisms shaping the Antarctic ice sheet are the processes playing out in its lower layers, and a newly discovered sub-glacial river suggests it may drain away faster than we thought. Scientists say the 460-km-long (285-mile) river sho… Continue reading 460-km-long river discovered snaking though base of Antarctic ice sheet
