Can Diamond Dust Help Cool Earth? Exploring Costs and Geoengineering Risks
A study by Sandro Vattioni explores using 5 million tons of diamond dust annually to reduce global warming by 1.6ºC. Diamonds outperform sulfur in reflecting sunlight, but the method comes with an enormous price tag—$175 trillion. Despite its potential, experts like Douglas MacMartin question its feasibility due to costs, while others debate the...

Will Hurricanes Become Even Stronger as the Planet Warms?
Hurricanes derive their strength from warm ocean waters, with current theoretical wind speed limits around 200 mph. However, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, experts predict hurricanes could intensify even further. This increase in ocean heat may push the limits, potentially resulting in stronger storms with winds exce...

Satellite Data Confirms Climate Crisis as Sea Level and Global Temperature Rises
Satellites are providing critical evidence for the climate crisis. With the highest global temperatures recorded in 2024 and sea levels rising consistently for 30 years, satellite data points to a clear climate crisis. This data helps scientists track environmental changes, making it crucial for informing policymakers and guiding global responses t...

Woolly Mammoth Comeback? Science Might Revive Extinct Species by 2028
The ambitious field of de-extinction is inching closer to reality with companies like Colossal Biosciences leading the charge. The company aims to revive extinct species such as the woolly mammoth by 2028. Their method involves transferring mammoth genes, which encode traits like shaggy fur and curved tusks, into the DNA of Asian elephants. Despite...
