Climate Change Escalated Deadly Storms in Africa in Early 2022

Tropical Storm Ana dumped rainfall, intensified by climate change, across Malawi, Mozambique and Madagascar in late January. Here, people stand on a vehicle overturned by floodwaters in Chikwawa, Malawi, on January 25. Credit: Bloomberg. Climate change intensified the rainfalls that battered southeastern Africa. Subsequently two powerful storms killed hundreds of individuals in early 2022. Heavy rains...

NASA at Your Table: Climate Change and Its Ecological Influence On Plant Growth

All over the world, farming methods have been established as a feature of topography, soil type, plant kind, yearly rainfall, and custom. This mosaic of six images from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Discharge and Representation Radiometer (ASTER) sensing unit on NASA's Terra satellite shows differences in field geometry and size in different parts of...

Aviation’s Contribution to Cutting Climate Change Likely to Be Small

Although the emissions targets for air travel remain in line with the overall goals of the Paris Agreement, there is a tremendous likelihood that the climate influence of aviation will certainly not satisfy these objectives, according to a new research study. Aeronautics is a vital contributor to the global economy; however it affects climate change...

Agriculture: the Key to Driving Climate Change Response

It highlighted how the people and the planet have primary importance now that agriculture is most favorable. The severe growth of the impact of raising climate change on a liable system poses a substantial threat to the livelihoods...

Countries in Crisis May Unilaterally Hack the Global Climate

Credit: Pixabay The landmark Paris climate accord sparked a rallying cry among developing nations: "1.5 to survive." This signifies the global goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.8 Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels. However, it's anticipated that this threshold will be exceeded within the next decade, with global warming showing minimal signs of...

Implications of Cloud Study for Climate Engineering

Image source: Yvonne Hanson/Shutterstock.com A recent study discovered that certain types of clouds vanish during solar eclipses, shedding light on why it happens. This finding might affect efforts to control the climate. During solar eclipses, people have noticed that regular cumulus clouds over land disappear quickly. The lead author of...

Addressing the Climate Crisis Through Diet

Credit: medium Agriculture proves to be one of the most challenging human activities to reduce carbon emissions, as it is an essential part of life, yet the land-use practices connected to crop cultivation contribute to approximately 25% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of California, Irvine, and other research institutions are...

Wildfires Release Powerful Organic Particles that Contribute to Climate Warming

Credit: Pixaobay Scientists have discovered that wildfires have a more significant warming impact than previously estimated by climate researchers. The study emphasizes the importance of 'dark brown carbon,' a previously unidentified group of particles released during wildfire smoke. This finding underlines the necessity for immediate revisions to climate models and updated strategies to address the...
