A report by the United Nations has said that 2 million people have lost their lives in the last 50 years due to climate change. A report by the World Meteorological Organization, a UN agency, mentioned that 90% of those killed were from third world countries.
Scientists have issued a warning that the planet will likely breach the temperature limit of 1.5C for the very first time in the next four years. Earth’s temperatures have been increasing rapidly and crossing the limit of 1.5C threshold could have dangerous consequences as heatwaves, floods and droughts will become more frequent.
A new research study has revealed that the bodies of birds around the world are shrinking due to climate change. The study found out that although the bodies of birds are gradually getting smaller, their wings are growing, something the researchers found out specifically in the tiniest of the species.
For decades, Scientists have been warning global leaders about the disastrous effects of climate change for humanity. Now in order to preserve ancient human history from destruction, scientists are preparing to preserve it from the changing climate.
Millions of dead fish were washed up to the side of the river in New South Wales’ (NSW) town of Menindee. The dead fish covered 30 kilometers of area above the Darling-Baaka river, the third longest river in Australia. The residents said the smell was unbearable as millions of fish float around the surface of the river, most probably due to the heatwaves affecting the river.
As carbon dioxide continues to explode, scientists are worried about the future of life on earth. Scientists are improvising to come up with innovative ways to convert CO2 to something that can help reduce its effect on the environment. Professor Andrew Bruce Bocarsly said we can convert CO2 to energy, but doing it is a big challenge.
Researchers have been increasingly focusing on the adverse effects of air pollution to human cognition and overall brain. A latest study has unearthed a link between air pollution and depression in the adult population. 1.5 million out of total 8.9 million participants were diagnosed with depression, the study mentioned.
Global warming has increasingly become realized to be a global issue in the last few decades. Different mechanisms have been developed to counter the phenomenon. An interesting new study found that global warming can be reduced by firing moon dust into space. The moon dust could solve the problem of continuous temperature rise.
One of the biggest threats from climate change is the ‘heat waves’. Each year, thousands of deaths are caused due to high temperatures around the world, many of which go unreported. Recent report shows more than 20,000 died in western Europe in this year’s summer.
A new study has revealed that the lifespan of honey bees have declined by 50% in the last 50 years. The astonishing numbers are shocking and have yet added another horror to the already decreasing population of honeybees around the world.
COP27, is an abbreviation for ‘Conference of the Parities’. It is held every year and the objectives are set for the countries to achieve amid dangerous impacts of Climate change. This year’s conference will be held in Egypt on 6th of November.
Our planet is changing and its dangerous. Scientists have been warning for many decades about the consequences that are going to unleash upon humanity if humans keep on emitting dangerous gases to the environment.
