It was reported that World’s biggest permafrost crater in Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Siberia, Russia, Batagaika crater (sometimes known as Batagaika depression), melts. The melting of the permafrost crater caused the land around the crater to begin to sink.  The thawing of the permafrost crater was marked as an alert by scientists. The land that began […]

Food waste refers to edible food that ends up in a garbage landfill. It has negative impacts economically, socially, and environmentally. Economically, it signifies a waste of resources. Looking at a social standpoint, food waste leads to inequality and food shortages. Additionally, in terms of the environment, food waste generates greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution,

According to NASA’s global temperature analysis, June 2023 has reached the peak of the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth for the last 174 years. June 2023’s temperature is known as the hottest temperature on Earth by NASA’s weather stations, Antarctic research stations, as well as instruments mounted on ships and ocean buoys. This year’s

The ocean’s color has changed over the last 20 years, and the global trend is likely to be a consequence of human-caused climate change. This is one of a new study by scientists, including from Oregon State University. In a study published in Nature, a team of researchers from the National Oceanography Center in England,

Heatwaves that have sweltered many countries since early April will continue to drive temperatures to record-breaking levels for the rest of the year, according to climate scientists, as warming caused by rising greenhouse-gas emissions coincides with the onset of the cyclical El Nino weather phenomenon. However, determining how much of the impact can be attributable

Multiple ecosystems across the Pacific are facing dire consequences as a marine heatwave sweeps through the region, causing rising ocean temperatures and wreaking havoc on marine life. Unlike heatwaves on land, these periods of abrupt ocean warming can last for months or even years, leading to mass species mortality, economic declines, and habitat loss.  A

In a recent study, experts at Cardiff University’s Water Research Institute quantified the carbon footprint and environmental impact of pet fish. The study revealed that tropical fish aquariums contribute to a significant proportion of annual household CO2 emissions and water use. Traditionally, environmental studies have focused on the ecological footprint of domestic mammals, such as

When we talk about climate change, we immediately think about global warming. But there are other aspects of this phenomenon that we as humans have not considered. A new NASA research model explains how insect populations are responding to severe temperature changes likely caused by climate change. In a recent study published in Nature Climate

A recent study by mathematicians at the University of Exeter and University College Cork in Ireland highlights the dangers of tipping points in rapidly changing systems. The study focuses on rate-induced tipping, which is triggered not by a critical level of change but by how quickly that level is reached. This can lead to abrupt

Recently, Jonathan Fink and Idowu “Jola” Ajibade, a volcanologist and associate professor of geography at Portland State University (PSU), found new effects of climate change. Through their work in the Bulletin of Volcanology, they stated that climate change keeps going to have impacts on volcanic eruptions. Sea level rise, glacial melting, aquifer depletion, and mountain
