Global Heat Surges as Weather Body Ranks 2025 Third Warmest Year
15 Jan, 2026 10:11 AM
Scientists emphasize that about 90% of excess heat from global warming is stored in the ocean, making ocean heat a critical indicator of climate change. The year before, 2024 set the all‑time record, with global temperatures averaging 1.55 °C above pre‑in

Fog Harvesting: A Simple Answer to Climate‑Driven Water Shortages
03 Jan, 2026 11:15 AM
One of the most remarkable adaptations is fog harvesting. It is a simple, sustainable technique that captures moisture directly from the air. Across fog prone landscapes, fine mesh nets stretch like silent guardians.

The Next Quarter Century Shapes Human Survival
31 Dec, 2025 12:07 PM
The quarter century from 2000 to 2025 was essentially a transition from warning to action. The science became undeniable, policies took shape, and technology advanced, but the pace of change fell short of what was needed.

Why Scientists Call Ocean Acidification the 'Evil Twin of Climate Change'
29 Dec, 2025 12:10 PM
As acidification harms marine ecosystems, the ocean’s ability to absorb and store carbon decreases. More CO₂ stays in the atmosphere, driving climate change. And that, in turn, worsens acidification. The ocean still absorbs massive amounts of CO₂, but the

World Health Organisation Links Dirty Air to Millions of Death
01 Dec, 2025 03:36 PM
Air pollution is not only a health crisis but also a climate crisis, since the same fossil fuels that poison the air also heat the planet. Policies that reduce pollution therefore deliver a double victory: protecting human health while slowing climate cha

Seagrass Nurseries: Why Marine Life Depends on Them
30 Sep, 2025 12:32 PM
Perhaps their most important role in the face of climate change is their ability to act as powerful carbon sinks. Seagrasses capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a quicker pace than tropical rainforests, storing carbon dioxide in their leaves and
