Medicine & TechnologySolar geoengineering, or reflecting the Sun's radiation back to space, is one of many proposed solutions to global warming. However, cloud simulations revealed that in the long-term, there may be devastating consequences.
Food systems contribute nearly one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, yet aren't accounted for in climate change mitigation policies. The University of California has included changing food systems across all campuses as part of its Carbon Neutrality Initiative.
Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are just a few of the tech giants that have plants to run on carbon-free technologies by 2030. Google made new commitments following the recent wildfires in the West Coast.
Forests absorb nearly 30 percent of the world's carbon gas emissions, making them natural carbon dioxide sinks. Researchers have recently analyzed why trees mature faster but die younger.
Research on the Eatwell Guide reveals that it is beneficial for overall health and is eco-friendly. Better adherence to guidelines could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the UK.
Tropical soils play a significant role in the Earth's natural carbon cycle. Scientists measure how much worse carbon emissions have gotten in recent years by keeping track of soil temperatures.
The transportation sector causes the highest percentage of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. California's Clean Miles Standard program opts for zero-emission vehicles for the sake of the environment.
Scientists are optimistic that controlling human activity and implementing guidelines for companies can make a significant impact on lowering the level of methane emissions.
During a press conference held on Earth Day, Bill DeBlasio, the mayor of New York, seemed to have threatened to ban glass skyscrapers, which was later clarified in his speech.
