China Is Reportedly Trying to Protect Its Potatoes From Rising Temperatures and Climate Change Impact
In China, a major potato-producing nation, researchers are racing to develop heat-resistant potato varieties as global warming threatens crop yields. A study led by the International Potato Center (CIP) in Beijing indicates that higher temperatures, predicted by the end of the century, could accelerate tuber growth but lead to reduced harvests.

Global Freshwater Levels Decline Since 2014, NASA-German Satellites Reveal
Data from NASA and German satellites reveal Earth's freshwater levels declined significantly after May 2014, with storage remaining persistently low. Research attributes this to global warming, major droughts, and human activity such as irrigation. The trend raises concerns over water stress, food security, and long-term environmental stability.

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 ...
