A report published in the Communications Earth and Environment Journal highlighted that temperatures can go up to 51 degrees Celsius or even above in UP, Rajasthan, and Gujarat due to rising global warming. These states may face severe summer days for weeks or even months, and humidity levels will skyrocket.
In an attempt to boost the preparations for the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), Egypt has recently launched a series of climate change campaigns and initiatives. The campaigns are aimed to create awareness about several aspects of climate change and to evoke a sense of responsibility among the citizens.
In a new research report published in Nature Climate Change journal, glaciologists have said that no matter how much fossil fuel pollution remains in the future, the amount of heat on the earth today will melt 3.3 percent of the volume of the Greenland ice sheet. As a result, the sea level will rise by 27.4 cm.
The terrible monsoon rains and severe floods are causing mayhem in Pakistan. As per Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority (PNDMA), more than 330 million people are affected, one million houses have been damaged and about one-third of Pakistan is submerged in water. So far, more than 1350 people have been killed in Pakistan this year, and an estimated $10 billion of damage has been done.
A new study published in the journal ‘The Cryosphere’ has revealed that more than half of Switzerland's 1,400 glaciers have vanished since the early 1930s. Researchers state that the ice is melting faster than ever due to the rising impacts of climate change.
A new study published in the Nature Journal reveals that using timber to construct houses and buildings could help decrease 100 billion tonnes of carbon emissions by 2100. The research states that using engineered wood in construction instead of other building materials could pave the way for climate mitigation.
India has informed the United Nations about its goals towards environmental protection and climate change. India has said that under the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), India is committed to achieve about 50 percent cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030.
The goal of reducing global warming has been set in the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. However, a new study indicates that even if this goal is achieved, many parts of the world will continue to warm for much of the year by the end of this century.
In the last few days, floods have wreaked havoc in Pakistan. Due to heavy rains and floods, more than 1,000 people have died in the neighbouring country so far. More than 30 million people have been affected, and 1 million houses have been damaged due to this climate catastrophe.
New research published in the journal Plant Cell and Physiology highlights that a moderated amount of ethanol could help plants sustain without water for a longer period. The scientists found that ethanol increased the survival rate of plants for as long as two weeks without water, which would be crucial during droughts.
