In 10 seconds? Increasing and restoring whale populations could help fight climate change and conservation. A recent (2022) paper has added to the research evidence about whales’ carbon capture potential. What’s the story? It’s n...
In 10 seconds? Conserving marine areas can help in the fight against climate change by protecting biodiversity which helps the ocean to sequester more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and foster adaptation to changing environmen...
In 10 seconds? As seaweeds absorb lots of carbon dioxide (CO2) while growing, seaweed farming has been mentioned as a potential strategy to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. A recent study, however, shows that when considering natu...
In 10 seconds? Researchers have discovered how ozone (O3) concentrations have contributed to global warming in the Southern Hemisphere. The increasing levels of the gas in the lower levels of the atmosphere were found to weaken an...
In 10 Seconds? Recent research human-caused climate change makes tornado-prone weather more ‘favorable'. However, none of the two papers puts numbers on what ‘favorable’ may mean. And they don’t explain what a changing weather mig...
In 10 seconds? Scientists inspired by the geometry of a fly’s eyes have come up with a hack to make solar cell materials easier to produce and more durable. This will be the key to pushing next-generation perovskite-based solar pa...
In 10 Seconds? 20% more of Greenland’s ice sheet has melted in the last 10 years than in previous decades, while the yearly variability has increased by 60%, according to research. This underscores the need to better support coast...
In 10 seconds? Climate change deliberately and explicitly separates itself from action on other societal challenges. New research on biodiversity and climate supports the long-standing calls to integrate topics, providing importan...
In 10 Seconds? Antarctic ice – melting due to climate change - contributes substantially to rising sea levels, worsening the effects of storms and flooding. But to what extent? New research [https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-0028...
