In the quest to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, scientists and environmentalists are exploring innovative approaches beyond traditional methods. One such method gaining attention is
Climate change is threatening global wheat production, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago, found that climate change is expected to reduce wheat yields by an average of 4% per degree Celsius of warming.
The pollution is making India's monsoons more unpredictable. This is a major alert for Indians, as the monsoons are "the lifeblood of the nation's agrarian economy." The monsoons provide about 70% of the required rainfall, which is essential for irrigating farms and replenishing reservoirs and aquifers. However, the new study says that "increased emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and rising pollution levels are altering monsoon patterns, resulting in adverse impacts on agriculture and posing challenges for accurate forecasting."
A new study has found that climate change could trigger gigantic tsunamis from Antarctica. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that during previous periods of global warming, massive tsunamis hit South America, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. The study's authors say that as climate change continues to heat the oceans, there is a growing risk of these tsunamis being unleashed once more.
The ASEAN region is facing a number of challenges in its transition to green energy. One of the biggest challenges is the high cost of renewable energy technologies. Another challenge is the lack of infrastructure to support the widespread deployment of renewable energy.
A new report has warned that climate change is threatening water supplies in 16 Asian countries, putting 1.9 trillion people at risk. The report, published by the World Economic Forum, found that the region is already experiencing the effects of climate change, with more frequent droughts and floods. These changes are disrupting water supplies and making it more difficult for people to access clean water.
A recent study has revealed that the adoption of decentralized renewable energy (DRE) technologies in India's agriculture and textile sectors could have a significant impact on the livelihoods of approximately 37 million people. These DRE technologies encompass various solutions, such as solar-powered textile manufacturing units, biomass-based cold solar storages, and micro solar pumps
Sultan Al Jaber, the head of the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), is facing growing pressure to step down as the president of the 28th Conference of Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which will be hosted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in November 2023
Climate change will put billions of people outside the 'human climate niche' where humans have thrived for ages, a new study has revealed. Extreme heat will force 600 million Indians out of their climate niche, exposing them to unbearable temperatures by 2030, it added.
A recent study highlights the alarming vulnerability of the Nilgiri marten (Martes gwatkinsii), a rare species of marten endemic to the Western Ghats, due to the significant encroachment of its habitat by development and agriculture. The study, titled
