Climate Disasters Do Not Automatically Lead To Greater Care For The World
Getty Images/iStcokphoto During the second half of the 20th century, the number of disasters occurring each year worldwide increased twentyfold. Since 2000, they have reached a high plateau, hovering around 600 disasters per year. Since 2000, these disasters have killed, injured or left homeless an average of 200 million people each year, representing 2.5% of the global population. If we make the rather unrealistic assumption that the distribution of these events is equally probable – […] -
Satellites Reveal Earth Has a Surprising Symmetry In The Way It Reflects light And It Might Be Tied To The El Nino Cycle
Heritage Images via Getty Images For half a century, scientists have known that Earth's Northern and Southern hemispheres have almost the exact same albedo — the amount of sunlight they reflect back to space. This is true even though the two hemispheres look very different, with the Northern Hemisphere having more land and the Southern Hemisphere having more ocean......Continue reading...

Remember How Sucking Carbon Out of The Air Was Going To Save The Planet? We Have Terrible News
Shutterstock / Futurism The idea of sucking CO2 out of the atmosphere to combat climate change might be a necessary intervention, but it always sounded like a longshot. Unfortunately, it seems like the strategy is already hitting a wall. A new report published this week found that ongoing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) efforts are barely putting a dent in the fight against global warming and that for them to start making an impact, they would need to be scaled up at a rate that rivals the […]
