The Amazon rainforest is now contributing more to global warming than it is doing to prevent it, a study has found. Analysis shows the net impact on the environment of the tropical rainforest, the most diverse place in the world, has become negative as a result of human actions. Deforestation and illegal fires have led to … Read more
Organic meat is NO better for the environment than regular meat and produces the same amount of greenhouse gas emissions, study finds Experts from Germany calculated the environmental impact of different meat Organic farming reduces emissions in not using fertilizer-grown animal feed Yet the slow growth rates and diminished yields serve to counter these savings In … Read more

If humans ended greenhouse gas emissions tomorrow we would still see global temperatures continuing to rise for several centuries, a new study claims. Scientists used a computer model called ESCIMO to simulate the effect of different greenhouse gas emission reductions on changes in the global climate between now and they year 2500, based on records spanning … Read more
REVEALED: The last decade was the HOTTEST on record with greenhouse gasses reaching ultimate highs in 2019 and sea levels now 3.4 inches above what they were in the 1990s The 2010s were the hottest decade since record-keeping began 150 years ago Last year was the second hottest ever, with the most ‘extreme warm days’ … Read more
UN urges world to use energy-efficient air conditioners in order to reduce greenhouse gases because ‘we are essential cooking ourselves’ The United Nations released a report about the dangers of air conditioners The devices contain a chemical that releases greenhouse gasses into the air The group is urging the world to switch to energy-efficient cooling … Read more
Levels of methane have surged in recent years and the atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gas has now reached a record high, a study shows. Scientists say several human activities are to blame for the soaring levels, including coal mining; oil and gas production; cattle and sheep farming; and landfills. Stanford University researchers and the Global … Read more
Women are responsible for less greenhouse gas emissions than men because they’re more likely to walk or use public transportation, new study shows A study of 50,000 New Zealand residents found men travel more in cars Women take more trips, but travel for shorter distances and use public transportation or simply walk more often than … Read more
Mangrove trees won’t survive sea-level rise by 2050 unless greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, study shows Experts studied mangrove sediments dating back to around 10,000 years ago During this time, sea-levels went from rising at 10 mm a year to being static Researchers found that the mangroves struggled with rising rates of above 6 mm … Read more
The world has seen an average of a six percent drop in greenhouse gases amid the coronavirus pandemic due to lockdowns and industry shutdowns. Although levels rose to new records this time last year, the decrease is still not significant enough to halt climate change, the United Nation’s weather agency warns. Experts say that once … Read more
