Loss of ice in Antarctica caused by a warming ocean may result in rising global sea levels by three metres, warns a recent research. Scientists from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland were able
Trees do wonders when it comes to cooling Earth. They suck planet-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, locking it into their trunks, leaves, and roots to the tune of about 2.4 billion metric tons
Human emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are causing the Earth to warm. We know this, and we have known about the heat-trapping nature of these gases for over 100 years. But scientists
Melting ice sheets in Antarctica caused by ocean warming could potentially increase global sea levels by three meters. In the study, a team of scientists examined a number of landscapes to determine how
The NHS has announced a ban on accepting blood donations from anyone who has recently returned from a region of the world where the Zika virus is present. A ban on organ donations has also been put in
Referring to the challenge faced by the multi-crore Vizhinjam International Multi-Purpose Seaport project from environmental activists in Kerala, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said such huge projects are
It's an odd quirk of nature that birds - even chickens - typically lay just one egg a day, and many species rely on all the eggs in the clutch hatching on the same day. Parent birds control incubation
New research published Monday adds to a body of evidence suggesting that a warming climate may have particularly marked effects for some citizens of the country most responsible for global warming in the
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recently described solar energy as the ‘ultimate solution’ to India’s energy problems. Here in Dakshina Kannada district, a silent campaign is being carried out by Jana
ISLAMABAD: WWF Pakistan Senior Director chapter and environmental expert Dr Ejaz Ahmad on Sunday urged the need for the protection and conservation of wildlife in Pakistan, which is most vulnerable to
A new research paper has suggested applying Holdridge life zones (HLZ) system for forest classification in Pakistan. The classification system forecasts and detects changes in environment on a large
<p>The observed warming of the surface air temperature (SAT) over the last 50 years has not been homogenous. There are strong differences in the temperature changes both geographically and on different
The World Health Organisation (WHO) says it suspects a link between the mosquito-borne Zika virus and a rare birth defect involving abnormally small heads, but so far the evidence is circumstantial. The
Statistically, it’s crystal clear that we keep setting temperature records due to human-caused global warming No, this isn’t another article about how damn hot 2015 was. Although just between us, I
<p>Among the tropical oceans, the western Indian Ocean hosts one of the largest concentrations of marine phytoplankton blooms in summer. Interestingly, this is also the region with the largest warming
The amount of sea level rise that comes from the oceans warming and expanding has been underestimated, and is likely about twice as much as previously calculated, German researchers said on Monday.
<p>The impact of a changing climate on the Amazon basin is a subject of intensive research because of its rich biodiversity and the significant role of rainforests in carbon cycling. Climate change has
<p>This study unravels the physical link between the weakening of the monsoon circulation and the decreasing trend in the frequency of monsoon depressions over the Bay of Bengal. Based on the analysis
Acknowledging that the Paris agreement on climate change is not perfect and not legally binding, US President Barack Obama said today that the mechanisms built into it will nevertheless hold every country
