Air pollution is present worldwide, irrespective of its severity. From California to Delhi, Kabul to Cairo – every small and large city of the world is suffering from polluted air. While it was believed that emissions from vehicles and fossil fuel combustion are the major
With each passing day, the earth is moving toward its doom. Man’s actions have induced natural calamities that are escalating, endangering the planet’s biodiversity. In a shocking revelation, a group of British scientists has discovered that about 28 trillion tonnes of ice have melted from
Isn’t it ironic, how mankind creates a problem and then races against time to find a solution? Be it plastic pollution, climate change or global warming, all are human-caused, to which mankind has been trying desperately to find a potent solution. According to a recent
The whole world is grappling with climatic crisis that has triggered many disasters across the planet. Be it floods, droughts or wildfires, these calamities uproot many beings from their natural habitat and take many lives. The recent Siberian heat wave has triggered catastrophic wildfires and
With the rapidly changing climatic patterns and global warming, glaciers are melting at a fast pace. A new study has revealed that the blanket of rock debris covering glaciers can offer more protection from climate change, literally slowing the glacier melts. This factor has been
Earth has been a wintry land and a hotbed at different times in the past centuries. However, with time, such climatic patterns have begun to fluctuate more than often. The increasing carbon emissions from human activities, which are raising the global temperature since pre-industrial times,
Global climatic patterns have been changing for a long time now. Various places across the globe have been bearing the brunt of this change through heavy rains, flash-floods, and scorching heat. A recent study by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has revealed
As the temperature of the globe rises, the ocean acidification events have become rather common. This process endangers millions of species and threatens the delicate balance of the ecosystems. CU Boulder researchers have developed a new scientific method that could help in actually predict ocean
As the globe warms up, scientists predict that by 2070, most of the human population is likely to live in unlivable climate conditions. A recent study has warned that unless greenhouse gas emissions are curbed, earth could become unlivable owing to global warming. If the
With rapidly changing climate and escalating global warming, studies have predicted that in 2040 a quarter of the world’s children will live in regions where clear and drinkable water is lacking. To combat such a crisis, the desalination of seawater and the purification of wastewater
