Larger Heatwaves Expected by 2050, New Study Finds

Scientists have come up with several frightening projections about heatwaves. We're in a global warming crisis. With excessive amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) trapping large amounts of heat in the atmosphere, rising global temperatures are now becoming the new normal, with several disastrous effects.

Did NYC Mayor Just Ban Glass Skyscrapers?

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.

Carbon Dioxide Can Easily Convert Into Industrial Fuel Using Novel Catalyst

Researchers from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) have invented a new catalyst that can efficiently convert carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO). This soon-to-be-patented invention enables the sustainable utilization of CO2, a potent greenhouse gas linked to climate change. If successful on a larger scale, this invention could provide a practical way for converting CO2 to useful chemicals.

Antarctica Ice Shelves In Danger Of Collapse In 100 Years

The risk doubles in about 50 years or less. The endless warnings and awareness campaigns regarding the danger of ice melt arise as new studies show that by 2050, the risk of ice shelves collapse would be doubled, and the continuous flow of water from ice melting would be fully directed to the ocean, which would trigger the rise of the sea level.

How's the Carbon Stacking Up? NOAA Says CO2 Has Passed Its Mark

The latest human first has chilling consequences for our species, and all others: for the first time since scientists began tracking global carbon dioxide concentrations in our atmosphere, we have surpassed 400 parts per million worldwide.

Researchers Find How Acidified Oceans Have Become with Help of NASA and ESA Satellites

While many argue that the fight against greenhouse gases is long over, climatologists and ecologists continue to urge that the battle continues on. And while the culprits are all the same, the problems with these remnants of burning fossil fuels are taking on new problems. A topic of major research has developed from these changes and now researchers are quantify just how it will impact our world in the years to come.
