Physicists at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) in the United States discovered the serious impact of climate change on the oceans. They showed that heat waves would hit the bottom of Earth’s oceans. According to them, this could be a big problem for creatures that live under the sea. These so-called “seafloor heat waves” […]

China will start the action plan by launching a pilot scheme aimed at promoting the development of renewable energy in rural areas. This was released by the National Energy Administration (NEA) on Thursday (23 March). According to the statement, provincial government departments will identify rural pilot areas for renewable energy project development and submit development

UN scientists are starting to warn that the world must act urgently to defuse the looming “climate time bomb”. Otherwise, climate change will unleash environmental impacts and lead to disasters. The final report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that drastic action must be taken before it is too late.

Every year, millions of people around the world count down to Earth Hour by doing one iconic thing: turning off the lights. The movement is always done once a year on the last Saturday of March. This year, the Earth Hour 2023 happened on Saturday, March 25, 2023.  Read More: BMKG Invites Public Contribution to

BMKG also inaugurated the Greenhouse Gas Tower (GHG) at the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Station on Bukit Kototabang, West Sumatra on the 73rd HMD anniversary .  The 100-meter-high tower is equipped with meteorological sensors which function to monitor 3 altitude points, namely 30 meters, 70 meters and 100 meters respectively. Greenhouse Gas Monitoring from the

Plastic entering the oceans has increased by an “unimaginable” quantity since 2005 and might nearly treble by 2040 if no further solution, study says. Peer-reviewed studies by the 5 Gyres Institute, a U.S. organization that campaigns to reduce plastic pollution, show an estimated 171 trillion pieces of plastic were floating in the oceans by 2019.

Coral reef oxygen loss is a sign that the entire underwater world is experiencing ocean warming. A new study provides an unprecedented examination of oxygen loss in coral reefs. Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a large team of national and international colleagues led the study and captured a state of

There are currently more than 170 trillion plastic particles floating in the world’s oceans, according to a new study by The 5 Gyres Institute, an American environmental organization focused on tackling plastic pollution. They estimated that the plastic particles weighed about 2 million metric tons. That figure could almost triple by 2040 if nothing is

In a study conducted by scientists in Australia and China, they found out that almost nowhere on earth is safe from unhealthy air, with Asia becoming the highest concentrated place of pollution. It is stated that about 99.82% of the global land area is exposed to levels of particulate matter 2.5 (pm 2.5). Particulate matter

With the struggle and major issues caused by emissions and carbon dioxide that cause global warming through several decades, several companies have started to focus on developing technology that can remove the exceeding amount of CO2 from the atmosphere.  Climeworks Switzerland is the primary example of the company, where in the past ten years they
