A recent study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) has shed light on how economies under stress respond more strongly to weather events, such as heat waves, river floods, and tropical cyclones. The study suggests that the global economic crisis during the Covid-19 pandemic significantly amplified the price increases experienced by private […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection features Methane, a chemical compound with the formula CH4, may be the simplest alkane but holds a significant place in our lives and environment. It is the main component of natural gas, an essential resource in many industrial and domestic processes. However, despite its utility, methane brings with it a […]

In August 2023, residents Makatla Ritchter and Keiphra Line from Tarpon Springs, Florida were forced to evacuate their home due to the devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Idalia. This event underlined the harsh reality that the intensity of hurricanes like Idalia is being amplified by climate change, a factor that triggers storm surge and heavy […]

Heat pumps are rapidly becoming a favored choice in the heating and air industry, largely due to their cost efficiency and minimal environmental impact. This growth has made them the fastest-growing segment in the sector, revolutionizing how many individuals heat and cool their homes. At their core, heat pumps operate by utilizing outside air to […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection features Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones, are one of nature’s most powerful and destructive forces. These mammoth storm systems take shape over warm ocean waters, marked by their spiraling arrangement of thunderstorms, strong winds, and torrential rain. As they gather strength, they can cause widespread devastation, their impacts felt […]

Greenland, known for its massive ice sheet, is a region of the planet that is in grave danger due to climate change. As a result of rising temperatures, Greenland is losing an average of 270 gigatons of ice annually. This significant loss is a stark reminder of the vulnerability of the earth’s cold regions to […]

The puffin chicks on Maine’s islands are making a remarkable comeback after two years of decline. This decline was largely attributed to unusual weather patterns, which were directly linked to climate change. Despite the warming conditions of the Gulf of Maine, puffins have managed to find enough food for their young, leading to an increase […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection features the temperature of ocean water, a complex variable that fluctuates significantly based on depth and location. Surface temperatures of the ocean can range anywhere between -2°C to 30°C. This vast range is influenced by multiple factors including geographical location, depth, season, and weather patterns. Recent studies have indicated that […]

During the last ice age, the Northern Hemisphere experienced rapid temperature jumps known as Dansgaard-Oeschger events. These events caused a temperature rise of up to 15°C within just decades. This dramatic shift in the climate is something that scientists have studied in depth to gain a better understanding of the planet’s history and its future. […]

In recent years, climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing issues globally. As per a poll conducted by the Washington Post and the University of Maryland, it was revealed that a significant number of Americans believe that their individual actions can contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change. However, the understanding […]
