The Surprising Impact of Airplane Contrails on Global Warming
A recent study conducted by researchers from Imperial College London has shed light on the surprising impact of airplane contrails on global warming. While commercial airplanes have made efforts to reduce their carbon emissions,...
Protecting the Amazon: Mental Exhaustion of Climate Scientists
Climate scientists like Luciana Gatti and Erika Berenguer are facing mental exhaustion due to the ongoing destruction of the Amazon rainforest and the climate crisis. Their work is emotionally taxing, as they witness the...
Reevaluating Air Conditioner Usage Amid Rising Heat Waves
Extraordinary heat waves have swept across Asia, breaking temperature records and raising concerns about the impact of air conditioning on greenhouse gas emissions. As temperatures continue to rise, it is crucial to address the...
Uncovering the Quantum Origins of the Greenhouse Effect
In 1896, a scientist named Svante Arrhenius discovered that carbon dioxide (CO2) traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect. This means that every time the concentration of CO2 doubles in the...
Unveiling the Quantum Origin of the Greenhouse Effect
In 1896, the Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius discovered that carbon dioxide (CO2) traps heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect. Modern climate models have confirmed his findings, showing that every time the...
Mitigating Methane Emissions from Wetlands to Achieve Climate Goals
Methane emissions from wetlands have been on the rise in recent years, despite efforts to reduce human sources of the potent greenhouse gas. While much attention has been focused on cutting emissions from fossil...
