As we grapple with the mounting effects of climate change, a sobering projection is that the air quality in the U.S. is expected to steadily worsen through 2054. This deterioration is attributed to the escalating occurrences of climate change-related events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and droughts. Recent research from the First Street Foundation provides […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) a significant policy designed to augment energy production from renewable sources. These sources encompass wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy. At its core, the RPS mechanism necessitates electricity supply companies to produce a stipulated percentage of their electricity from these renewable sources. The overarching aim of […]

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a fundamental system of ocean currents, is teetering on the brink of collapse. This potential catastrophe is driven by escalating global temperatures, a result of unchecked climate change, according to a revelatory study published in Science Advances. The AMOC, responsible for maintaining the delicate balance of heat and salt […]

In recent years, Topanga, California has been facing increasingly hazardous weather conditions, including severe mudslides and flooding. Experts attribute these adverse weather patterns to climate change. The latest storm to hit the area marked the third-wettest two-day period in Los Angeles’ history, underlining the severity of the situation. The extreme weather in Topanga is a […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Emissions trading, colloquially known as “cap and trade,” is a powerful method used for limiting and regulating pollution levels. This system, which is flexible and adaptable, involves the establishment of a set pollution limit. Alongside this limit, tradable allowances are also created, allowing for a specific amount of pollutant […]

EasyJet, the UK-based budget airline, has been recognized for its commitment to sustainability, with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) awarding it an A- score. The CDP is a non-profit organization that supports companies in disclosing their environmental impact in a bid to reduce carbon emissions globally. The A- rating acknowledges easyJet’s dedication to carbon efficiency […]

Global warming is no longer a distant threat but a stark reality that has crossed the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius over the past 12 months for the first time in history. A concerning statistic to note is that this past year was 1.52 degrees hotter on average than pre-industrial temperatures, with January being […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Coral bleaching is a phenomenon that doesn’t often make headlines, but it is one that has profound implications for our oceans and our planet as a whole. It is marked by the expulsion of zooxanthellae, a type of algae that gives corals their vibrant colors. More often than not, […]

Despite growing concerns over the high energy consumption of AI infrastructure, the Center for Data Innovation (CDI) maintains that it does not pose a significant threat to the Earth’s climate. This belief comes in the face of the high energy utilization of GPUs needed for training large language models. The CDI, instead, suggests that AI […]

The recent series of catastrophic events, including floods in California and wildfires in Chile, have sparked a global debate about the underlying causes. Increased ocean temperatures have been identified as a contributing factor, but the exact cause remains a contentious topic. The temperature of the ocean offshore has risen significantly, leading to a corresponding increase […]
