I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#New model proposed to reduce carbon footprint” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Prior to the global pandemic, climate researchers identified an uncomfortable truth: the very meetings and events meant to support the fight against climate change were themselves causing vast greenhouse gas emissions through international air travel. Building on learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic, the University…
“#Making comprehensive water resources modeling more accessible” Schematic figure of the processes included in the Community Water Model. Credit: IIASA The growing global population and continued economic development will likely cause a significant increase in water demand, especially in developing regions. At the same time, climate change is already having global, regional, and local impacts…
“#Pivotal research discovers practices, technologies key to sustainable farming” Argonne researchers quantify how to reduce emissions by farms changing their practices and adopting novel technologies. Currently, the agriculture sector contributes significantly to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States, accounting for nine percent of the nation’s overall GHG emissions. The practices that grain farmers use…
“#NASA analyzes new eastern Pacific Ocean Tropical Depression 7E” On July 20 at 2:30 a.m. EDT (0630 UTC), the MODIS instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite gathered temperature information about Tropical Depression 7E’s cloud tops. MODIS found one small area of powerful thunderstorms (red) where temperatures were as cold as or colder than minus 70 degrees…
“#Climate scientists increasingly ignore ecological role of Indigenous peoples” Credit: CC0 Public Domain In their zeal to promote the importance of climate change as an ecological driver, climate scientists increasingly are ignoring the profound role that indigenous peoples played in fire and vegetation dynamics, not only in the eastern United States but worldwide, according to…
“#Changes in farming urgent to rescue biodiversity, scientists say” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Over 360 scientists from 42 countries—led by the University of Göttingen and Westlake University China—call for transition of food production systems to agroecological principles. Humans depend on farming for their very survival but this activity takes up more than one third of…
“#Humans need to do better if we’re to avoid ocean system collapse” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new relationship between humanity and the ocean is required to secure the continuity of the diverse life support roles provided by the sea, according to a paper published in Nature Communications on 17 July 2020. Titled “A transition…
“#Returning to farming’s roots in the battle against the ‘billion-dollar beetle’” Western corn rootworm larvae can devour the tips of corn roots, robbing the plants of nutrients and making them susceptible to falling over. Credit: Cyril Hertz, Lingfei Hu and Matthias Erb, University of Bern, Switzerland Nicknamed the “billion-dollar beetle” for its enormous economic costs…
“#Homes of wealthy Americans have carbon footprints 25% higher than lower-income residences” Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The homes of wealthy Americans generate about 25% more greenhouse gases than residences in lower-income neighborhoods, mainly due to their larger size. In the nation’s most affluent suburbs, those emissions can be as much as 15 times higher than…
“#How governments resist World Heritage ‘in Danger’ listings” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A study published today found national governments repeatedly resisted the placement of 41 UNESCO World Heritage sites—including the Great Barrier Reef—on the World Heritage in Danger list. This resistance is despite the sites being just as threatened, or more threatened, than those already…
