Alarming New Study Reveals Rising Sea Levels is Happening Faster Than Researchers Thought

ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATE 01.17.2015 19:21 PM

It could be time to sound the alarm, as a new study reveals that the rise in global sea levels from the end of the 20th century until the last two decades is accelerating much faster than scientists previously believed. It was discovered that there were loopholes in the estimates made for an earlier period which has caused the rest of the readings to be off.

How Zebra Stripes and Rising Sea Levels Have More In Common Than You Thought

Though the two may seem entirely unrelated at first, one being a long misunderstood mystery and the other the byproduct of climate change, a new study reveals that a zebra’s stripes may too be caused by environmental factors making our sea levels rise.

2015, The Year of Climate Change―And Doing Something About It

A new year, a new mission―and for 2015 researchers, politicians and conservationists are looking to reduce man's carbon footprint on a serious level.

NASA—How Tropical Rainforests May Help End the Climate Change Issue

01.07.2015 17:33 PM

If 2014 made anything evident on the global stage, it’s that climate change is a serious issue and one that must be dealt with urgently. Many hope that the United Nations Summit in 2015 will bring some sort of international change, but with new research from the US space agency NASA, researchers are now saying that we may have some added help on our side—tropical rainforests.

NASA Says Tropical Rainforests May Hold a Key To the Climate Change Issue

While tropical rainforests may be vanishing, a new study led by NASA researchers reveals yet another reason why trees in the tropical rainforest may in fact be man’s best friend. With greenhouse gas emissions on a constant rise since the dawning of the industrial revolution and the subsequent population growth that followed, researchers in recent years have tried to estimate exactly how much carbon dioxide is actually absorbed by plants to better assess a serious global issue. And in a new NASA-led study, researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were able to combine three different divisions of science to reveal that tropical rainforests may be absorbing far more CO2 than many researchers previously thought, in response to rising atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas.
