Greenhouse Gas is Rising Rapidly in Atmosphere Due to Human Activities, Highlights New Report
Methane levels, which are 80 times more potent than CO2 in the short term, are rising at an unprecedented rate. Human activities, such as agriculture and fossil fuel extraction, contribute significantly to this surge. Despite global efforts, including the 2021 Global Methane Pledge, methane emissions continue to climb. This trend threatens climate ...

Infant Mortality Rate and Decline of Bat Population Might Have a Strange Correlation, Study Claims
In 2006, a fungal disease called white-nose syndrome began decimating bat populations across New England. Over the following decade, the loss of these bats, essential for controlling insect populations, led to significant consequences for agriculture and human health, according to a new study. With fewer bats around to consume insects, farmers reso...
