One-Third of Earth's Species Could Face Extinction by 2100 Due to Climate Change
A new study has warned that up to a third of Earth's species could face extinction by 2100 due to rising global temperatures. The research, published in Science, highlights how climate change is accelerating extinction risks, especially for amphibians and species in isolated ecosystems. With emissions continuing at current rates, the risk of extinc...

Arctic Ocean Likely to Experience Ice-Free Day by 2027, Study Warns
A study published in Nature Communications predicts the Arctic Ocean could face its first ice-free day as early as 2027, marking a critical environmental milestone. Conducted using 11 climate models and 366 simulations, the research highlights the urgent need for emission reductions. The loss of sea ice in the Arctic exacerbates global warming thro...

Siberian Craters Explained: Thawing Permafrost and Methane Gas Trigger Explosive Craters
Researchers have revealed the cause behind the enormous craters found in Siberia's permafrost, linking them to thawing conditions and explosive methane gas releases. As the surface melts, water seeps into ancient cryopegs, pockets of salty water trapped beneath the permafrost. The resulting pressure build-up causes cracks to form, leading to explos...

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 ...

Japan’s Fermentation Innovation Turns Food Waste into High-Quality Pig Feed
Japan is making strides in sustainability with an innovative approach to food waste. Koichi Takahashi, founder of the Japan Food Ecology Center, has developed a fermentation process that transforms leftover food into nutritious pig feed. This method addresses both environmental and economic challenges by recycling food scraps, which include leftove...
