Brazil Is Losing Surface Water To Climate Change, Land Conversion
Brazil is home to 12 per cent of Earth's freshwater reserves, much of it in the Amazon, but is losing natural surface water as climate change and land conversion from forest to farming take their toll, a report said Friday.

Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change
Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while prece...

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...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...

Ancient Log Discovery in Canada Shows How Wood Burial Could Be Key to Affordable Carbon Storage
A 3,775-year-old log, found by climate scientist Ning Zeng's team in Canada, has shown the potential of buried wood for long-term carbon storage. When covered by clay, the log retained most of its carbon, hinting at a cost-effective, natural solution for lowering atmospheric CO2 levels. Researchers suggest this low-cost strategy could lock away car...

NISAR Mission 2025: NASA and ISRO Join Forces to Monitor Earth's Ecosystems and Surface Changes
The NISAR Mission 2025, a joint effort between NASA and ISRO, aims to observe Earth's surface, ecosystems, and track environmental changes. The satellite will use cutting-edge radar technology to collect data on biomass, natural disasters, and sea-level rise. Scheduled to launch in 2025, NISAR will be a vital tool for global climate and ecosystem m...

Could Sprinkling Diamond Dust in the Atmosphere Help Reverse Global Warming?
Researchers have explored a potential solution for reversing global warming: dispersing diamond dust in the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and reduce heat reaching Earth. Though diamond dust emerged as a promising option due to its reflectivity and inert nature, the cost of implementing this solution globally would be incredibly high – approximat...

COP16 Biodiversity Summit: How Nations Are Tackling Global Biodiversity Loss and Species Extinction
The COP16 summit in Colombia brings global leaders together to address the alarming loss of biodiversity, with over one million species at risk of extinction. Countries will assess their progress on reversing species extinction and take steps towards a target of protecting 30% of land and sea by 2030. The meeting also focuses on financing biodivers...

Climate Change And Biodiversity Loss Should Be Addressed Together
Some approaches to tackling global warming can have unintended knock-on consequences for nature and the protection of biodiversity, say scientists urging a more coordinated effort on these challenges.

Great Barrier Reef Faces Hottest Ocean Temperatures in 400 Years, Threatening Coral Survival
The Great Barrier Reef, one of Earth's most significant natural treasures, is currently experiencing its hottest sea surface temperatures in four centuries. According to a study published in Nature, the first quarter of 2024 recorded a temperature rise of 0.19°C above the previous peak. This extreme warming is directly linked to extensive coral bl...
