Reforestation – How Tree-Planting Initiatives are Cooling Down the Eastern United States
Reforestation in the eastern United States has been instrumental in counteracting the effects of climate change, specifically by reducing the rising temperatures associated with it. An extensive reforestation project, initiated in the 1920s, has sprawled across an area larger than England and has been driven by urban migration and a government tree-planting program. Interestingly, this vast reforestation effort has led [...]
Geothermal Energy Powers Innovative Carbon Capture System
Using clean and affordable geothermal energy, researchers have recently developed an innovative method for capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This new system, known as Direct Air CO2 Capture with CO2 Utilization and Storage (DACCUS), leverages Earth's natural heat to power Direct Air Carbon Dioxide Capture Technologies (DACC) systems, introducing a novel approach to tackling climate change. The DACCUS system [...]
Climate Change Poster Collection of the Day – Greenhouse Effect
Today's Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Greenhouse effect. It is not an anomaly or a deviation from the natural order of things; rather, it is an integral part of the environmental processes that make the Earth habitable. This natural process warms the Earth and makes it conducive for life to thrive. However, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, [...]
